13
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
14
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
15
command may need to be adjusted.
16
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
20
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
21
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
22
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
24
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
29
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
30
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
31
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
33
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
34
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
36
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
39
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
40
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
44
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
45
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
47
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
48
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
51
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
52
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
53
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
54
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
58
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.
59
(Daniel Watkins, #327421, #327425)
65
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
66
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. (Andrew Bennetts,
69
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
70
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
72
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
73
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
75
* Creating a repository on a bzr+ssh:// server will now make a single
76
call rather than many VFS calls. (Robert Collins)
78
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
79
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
80
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
82
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now have a ``network_name`` for passing
83
the format across RPC calls. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
85
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
86
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
87
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
89
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
90
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
91
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
93
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
94
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
95
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
96
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
97
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
99
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
100
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
101
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
102
to access private data in record to obtain content more
103
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
106
bzr 1.12 "1234567890" 2009-02-13
107
--------------------------------
109
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
110
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
111
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
112
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
113
by showing the rate of network IO.
117
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
118
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
122
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
123
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
126
bzr 1.12rc1 "1234567890" 2009-02-10
127
-----------------------------------
129
COMPATIBILITY BREAKS:
131
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
132
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
133
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
134
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
136
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
137
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
138
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
141
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
142
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
143
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
144
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
146
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
147
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
148
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
153
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
154
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
155
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
158
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
159
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
160
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
162
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
163
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
164
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
165
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
166
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
167
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
168
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
169
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
170
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
175
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
178
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
181
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
182
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
183
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
185
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
186
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
187
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
188
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
189
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
191
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
192
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
194
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
195
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
196
level for better precision.
199
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
200
rules. (Marius Kruger)
202
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
203
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
204
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
206
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
207
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
208
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
211
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
212
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
213
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
217
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
219
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
221
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
222
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
223
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
225
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
226
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
227
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
228
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
229
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
230
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
232
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
233
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
235
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
236
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
238
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
239
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
240
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
242
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
243
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
244
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
247
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
248
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
250
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
251
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
252
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
253
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
255
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
256
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
258
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
260
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)
264
* Improved plugin developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
268
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
269
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
272
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
273
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
275
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
276
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
278
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
279
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
281
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
282
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
283
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
284
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
286
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
287
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
288
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
292
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
293
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
294
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
295
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
296
compile buffers, are such an example).
299
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
300
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
303
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
304
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
305
efficient way of doing the mapping.
308
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
309
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
311
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
312
formatters to retrict the output.
316
bzr 1.11 "Eyes up!" 2009-01-19
317
------------------------------
319
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
320
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
321
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
322
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
323
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
325
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
326
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
329
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
330
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.
334
* Fix failing test when CompiledChunksToLines is not available.
337
* Stacked branches don't repeatedly open their transport connection.
342
bzr 1.11rc1 "Eyes up!" 2009-01-09
343
---------------------------------
347
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
348
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
352
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
353
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
355
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
356
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
357
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
358
implement other plugins.
361
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
366
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
367
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
369
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
370
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
372
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
373
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
374
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
375
processes which drag in shell extensions.
378
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
379
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
380
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
381
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
382
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
384
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
385
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
386
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
387
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
388
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
392
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
393
control directory. (#139691)
395
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
396
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
398
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
399
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
401
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
402
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
403
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
405
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
406
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
408
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
409
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
410
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
412
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
413
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
415
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
418
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
419
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
420
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
422
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
423
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
425
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
426
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
427
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
429
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
430
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
431
in the appropriate sections.
432
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
434
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
435
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
438
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
439
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
441
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
442
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
444
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
445
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
447
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
448
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
449
work better with how it splits its requests.
450
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
452
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
453
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
454
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
456
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
459
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
461
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
462
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
464
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
469
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
470
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
471
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
476
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
477
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
478
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
479
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
481
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
482
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
484
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
485
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
486
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
487
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
489
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
490
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
491
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
492
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
496
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
497
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
498
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
500
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
501
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
502
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
503
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
505
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
506
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
507
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
512
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
513
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
516
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
517
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
518
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
521
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
522
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
523
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
524
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
526
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
527
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
528
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
530
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
531
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
532
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
533
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
535
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
536
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
537
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
538
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
541
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
542
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
544
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
545
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
546
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
548
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
549
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
550
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
551
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
553
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
554
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
555
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
558
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
559
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
560
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
561
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
562
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
563
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
564
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
566
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
567
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)
574
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
575
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
576
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
577
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
580
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
584
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
585
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
586
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
587
(Martin Pool, #303856)
589
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
590
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
591
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
592
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
593
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)
596
bzr 1.10rc1 2008-11-28
597
----------------------
599
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
600
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
601
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
602
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
603
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
607
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
608
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
610
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
615
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
616
history just to set the last revision info.
617
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
619
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
620
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
621
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
622
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
624
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
625
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
626
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
627
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
630
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
631
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
633
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
634
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
635
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
636
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
637
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
639
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
640
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
641
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
642
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
646
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
647
(Martin Pool, #289148)
649
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
650
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
652
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
653
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
654
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
655
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
657
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
658
starting with a dotted revno.
659
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
661
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
662
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
663
(Martin Pool, #288751)
665
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
666
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
667
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
669
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
670
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
671
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
673
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
674
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
675
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
676
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
678
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
679
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
680
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
682
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
683
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
687
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
688
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
689
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
690
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
692
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
693
have changed incompatibly.
695
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
696
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
697
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
698
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
699
don't need to change.
701
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
702
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
706
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
707
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
709
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
715
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
716
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
717
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
718
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
719
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
720
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
724
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
725
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
727
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
729
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
730
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.
731
(John Arbash Meinel, #293746)
734
bzr 1.9rc1 2008-10-31
735
---------------------
739
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
740
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
742
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
743
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
744
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
745
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
749
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
750
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
751
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
752
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
753
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
754
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
756
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
757
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
759
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
760
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
761
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
763
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
764
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
765
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
768
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
769
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
771
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
772
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
774
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
775
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
777
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
778
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
779
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
780
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
781
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
782
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
783
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
784
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
785
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
786
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
790
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
791
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
793
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
794
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
796
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
797
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
798
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
800
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
801
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
802
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
804
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
805
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
806
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
808
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
809
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
810
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
811
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
812
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
813
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
815
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
816
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
818
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
819
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
821
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
822
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
823
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
824
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
825
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
827
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
828
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
829
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
830
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
834
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
838
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
842
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
843
configuration of authetication credentials.
849
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
850
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
851
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
852
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
853
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
857
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
858
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
862
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
863
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
866
bzr 1.8rc1 2008-10-07
867
---------------------
871
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
872
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
873
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
874
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
875
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
877
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
878
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
880
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
881
server. (Marius Kruger)
883
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
884
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
885
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
886
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
887
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
888
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
892
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
893
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
894
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
896
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
900
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
901
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
902
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
903
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
905
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
906
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
909
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
910
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
913
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
916
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
918
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
919
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
921
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
922
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
924
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
925
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
926
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
927
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
928
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
929
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
930
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
931
operations. (Robert Collins)
933
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
935
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
936
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
937
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
941
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
942
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
943
(Martin Pool, #279381)
945
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
946
repository now preserves the repository format.
947
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
949
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
950
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
952
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
953
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
955
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
957
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
959
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
962
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
963
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
964
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
966
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
967
is in a different repository than the current one.
968
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
970
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
971
(David Futcher, #242106)
973
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
974
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
976
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
977
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
978
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
979
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
981
* Trivial documentation fix.
982
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
984
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
985
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
986
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
987
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
991
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
995
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
996
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
997
to use. (Robert Collins)
999
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
1000
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
1001
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
1003
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
1004
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
1005
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
1006
they want. (Robert Collins)
1010
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
1011
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
1012
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
1014
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
1015
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
1018
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
1021
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
1022
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
1024
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
1029
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
1030
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
1032
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
1033
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
1034
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
1036
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
1037
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
1038
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
1040
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
1041
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1043
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
1044
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
1046
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
1047
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
1049
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
1050
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
1051
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
1052
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept
1057
bzr 1.7.1 2008-10-01
1058
--------------------
1060
No changes from 1.7.1rc1.
1063
bzr 1.7.1rc1 2008-09-24
1064
-----------------------
1066
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
1067
file paths when we encounter complex history.
1071
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
1072
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
1073
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
1074
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.
1075
(John Arbash Meinel)
1081
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
1082
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
1083
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
1084
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
1085
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
1086
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.
1090
* Some small updates to the win32 installer. Include localization
1091
files found in plugins, and include the builtin distutils as part of
1092
packaging qbzr. (Mark Hammond)
1095
bzr 1.7rc2 2008-09-17
1096
---------------------
1098
A few bug fixes from 1.7rc1. The biggest change is a new
1099
``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
1100
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
1101
connect to the stacked-on location.
1105
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
1106
repository now preserves the repository format.
1107
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
1109
* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect
1110
to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
1112
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
1115
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
1119
bzr 1.7rc1 2008-09-09
1120
---------------------
1122
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
1123
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
1124
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
1125
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
1126
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
1127
it in a future repository format.
1132
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
1135
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
1136
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
1137
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
1139
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
1140
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
1141
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
1145
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
1146
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
1148
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
1152
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
1153
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
1156
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
1157
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
1159
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
1160
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
1163
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
1164
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
1165
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
1166
(John Arbash Meinel)
1168
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
1169
(Martin Pool, #261315)
1171
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
1172
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
1173
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
1174
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
1175
(John Arbash Meinel)
1177
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
1178
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
1179
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
1180
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
1181
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
1182
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
1183
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
1184
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
1185
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
1186
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1190
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
1191
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
1193
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
1194
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
1195
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
1197
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
1198
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
1199
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
1201
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
1202
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
1203
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
1204
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
1205
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
1206
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
1208
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
1209
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
1211
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
1212
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
1214
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
1215
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
1216
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
1217
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
1218
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
1219
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
1221
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
1222
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
1224
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
1225
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
1227
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
1228
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
1229
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
1230
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
1232
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
1233
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
1235
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
1236
assuming the host name is ascii.
1237
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
1239
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
1240
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
1244
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
1248
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
1250
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
1251
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
1252
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
1255
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
1256
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1258
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
1259
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
1261
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
1262
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
1266
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
1267
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
1268
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
1269
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
1271
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
1275
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
1276
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
1277
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1279
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
1284
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
1285
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
1288
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
1289
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
1290
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
1291
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
1292
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1294
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
1295
is unknown in both source and target.
1296
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
1298
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
1299
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
1300
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
1301
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1303
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
1304
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
1305
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
1306
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1309
bzr 1.6.1 2008-09-05
1310
--------------------
1312
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
1313
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
1314
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
1317
bzr 1.6.1rc2 2008-09-03
1318
-----------------------
1322
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
1323
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
1324
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
1325
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
1328
bzr 1.6.1rc1 2008-08-29
1329
-----------------------
1331
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
1332
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
1333
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
1334
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
1335
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
1336
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
1337
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
1338
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
1339
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
1340
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
1341
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
1342
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
1346
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
1347
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
1348
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
1349
start of the string (causing more copies).
1350
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
1351
especially for projects with large files.
1352
(John Arbash Meinel)
1354
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
1355
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
1356
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
1357
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
1358
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
1360
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
1361
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
1362
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
1363
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
1364
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.
1365
(John Arbash Meinel, #262333)
1371
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
1372
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
1373
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
1374
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
1375
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
1376
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
1377
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
1378
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
1379
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
1382
bzr 1.6rc5 2008-08-19
1383
---------------------
1387
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
1388
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
1389
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
1390
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
1391
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
1394
bzr 1.6rc4 2008-08-18
1395
---------------------
1399
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
1400
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
1401
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
1404
bzr 1.6rc3 2008-08-14
1405
---------------------
1409
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
1410
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
1415
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
1416
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
1417
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
1422
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
1423
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
1424
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
1426
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
1427
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
1428
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
1429
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
1430
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
1431
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
1432
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
1435
bzr 1.6rc2 2008-08-13
1436
---------------------
1438
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
1443
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
1444
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
1446
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
1447
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
1450
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
1451
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
1452
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
1453
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
1454
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
1456
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
1457
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1459
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
1460
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
1462
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
1463
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
1465
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
1466
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
1467
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
1468
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
1469
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
1470
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
1473
bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
1474
---------------------
1476
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
1477
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
1478
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
1479
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
1480
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
1484
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
1485
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
1486
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
1490
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
1491
check. (Daniel Watkins)
1493
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
1494
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
1496
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
1497
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
1498
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1500
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
1503
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
1504
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
1505
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
1506
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
1507
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
1508
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
1509
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1511
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
1512
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
1513
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
1517
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
1518
physical repository boundaries.
1519
(Martin Pool, #252428)
1521
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
1522
(Martin Pool, #206258)
1524
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
1525
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
1528
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
1531
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
1532
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
1533
that Python is running from.
1534
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
1536
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
1537
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
1538
(Robert Collins, #150438)
1540
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
1541
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
1543
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
1544
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
1545
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
1547
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
1548
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
1550
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
1551
(James Westby, #248448)
1555
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
1556
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
1557
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
1560
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
1561
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
1564
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
1565
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
1566
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
1567
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
1568
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
1569
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
1572
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
1573
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1575
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
1576
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
1577
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
1578
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
1579
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
1580
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
1584
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
1585
putting together a real history without having to create a full
1586
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
1587
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
1588
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
1589
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1591
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
1592
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
1593
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
1595
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
1598
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
1599
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
1601
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
1605
bzr 1.6beta3 2008-07-17
1606
-----------------------
1608
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
1609
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
1610
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
1611
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
1616
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
1617
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
1618
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
1620
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
1621
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
1622
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
1623
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
1624
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
1627
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
1629
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
1630
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
1631
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
1636
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
1637
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
1640
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
1641
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
1642
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
1643
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
1645
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
1646
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
1647
(Christophe Troestler)
1649
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
1650
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
1652
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
1653
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
1654
faster. The new request method name is
1655
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1659
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
1660
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
1661
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
1662
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
1663
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
1665
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
1666
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
1668
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
1669
requires a branch to be present.
1670
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
1672
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
1674
(Martin Pool, #205230)
1676
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
1677
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
1678
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
1679
(Martin Pool, #240161)
1681
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
1682
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
1684
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
1686
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
1688
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
1689
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
1690
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
1691
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
1692
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
1694
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
1695
(Martin Pool, #172870)
1697
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
1698
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
1700
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
1702
(Matt McClure, #209281)
1704
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
1705
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
1707
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
1708
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
1712
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
1715
* Updated developer documentation.
1720
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
1721
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
1723
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
1724
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
1725
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
1726
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
1730
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
1731
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
1732
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
1733
Repository docstring for more details.
1736
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
1737
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
1738
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
1740
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
1741
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
1744
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
1745
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
1746
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
1747
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
1751
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
1752
(Alexander Belchenko)
1754
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
1755
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
1756
containing a given location.
1759
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
1760
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
1761
storage. (Robert Collins)
1763
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
1766
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
1767
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
1771
bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
1772
-----------------------
1774
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
1775
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
1776
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
1781
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
1782
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
1783
reading from the repository.)
1784
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
1786
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
1787
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1789
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
1790
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
1793
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
1794
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
1795
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
1797
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
1798
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
1799
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
1801
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
1802
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
1804
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
1805
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
1806
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
1807
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
1811
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
1813
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
1814
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
1815
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
1818
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
1819
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
1823
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1827
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
1828
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
1832
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
1833
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
1834
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
1835
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
1836
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1838
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
1839
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
1843
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
1844
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
1846
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
1847
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
1850
bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
1851
-----------------------
1854
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
1855
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
1856
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
1857
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
1858
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
1859
and future extensions.
1862
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1864
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
1865
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
1866
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
1867
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
1868
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
1869
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
1870
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
1871
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
1875
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
1876
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
1877
(John Arbash Meinel)
1881
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
1882
load. (James Westby)
1886
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
1887
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
1888
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
1889
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1891
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
1892
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
1893
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
1895
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
1896
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
1898
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
1899
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
1900
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
1902
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
1903
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
1904
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
1905
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
1906
step closer to not using full revision history.
1907
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
1911
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
1912
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
1914
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
1915
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1917
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
1918
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
1920
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
1921
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
1922
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
1923
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
1925
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
1926
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
1927
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
1928
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
1930
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
1931
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
1932
in use by another process.
1935
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
1936
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
1937
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
1938
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
1940
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
1941
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
1943
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
1944
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
1945
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
1947
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
1948
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
1949
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
1951
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
1953
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
1955
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
1956
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
1958
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
1959
under vim on Mac OS X.
1960
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1962
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
1963
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
1967
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
1968
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
1970
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
1971
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
1974
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
1975
and about use of Python reprs.
1976
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
1978
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
1982
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
1985
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
1986
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
1988
* New helper function for splitting test suites
1989
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
1993
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
1994
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
1995
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
1996
(John Arbash Meinel)
2000
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
2001
instead. (Martin Pool)
2003
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
2004
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
2005
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
2006
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
2008
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
2009
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
2010
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
2011
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
2012
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
2014
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
2015
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
2016
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
2017
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
2018
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
2019
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
2021
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
2022
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
2025
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
2026
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
2029
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
2030
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
2031
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
2032
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
2034
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
2035
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
2036
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
2038
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
2039
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
2040
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
2041
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
2042
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
2045
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
2046
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
2047
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
2048
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
2051
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
2052
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
2053
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
2054
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
2055
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
2057
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
2064
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
2065
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
2066
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
2070
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
2071
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
2072
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
2076
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
2077
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
2081
bzr 1.5rc1 2008-05-09
2082
---------------------
2084
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2088
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
2089
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
2090
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
2091
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
2097
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
2098
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
2100
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
2101
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
2103
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
2108
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
2109
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
2111
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
2112
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
2114
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
2115
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
2116
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
2118
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
2119
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
2120
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
2122
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
2125
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
2126
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
2128
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
2129
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
2131
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
2132
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
2134
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
2135
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
2137
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
2138
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
2139
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
2141
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
2142
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
2144
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
2145
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
2147
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
2148
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
2149
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
2150
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
2152
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
2153
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
2156
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
2157
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
2158
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
2160
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
2161
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
2162
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
2163
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
2164
every revision each side had in common.
2165
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2167
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
2168
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
2170
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
2171
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
2172
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
2173
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
2177
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
2178
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
2179
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
2180
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
2182
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
2184
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
2186
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
2187
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
2191
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
2192
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
2193
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
2195
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
2196
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
2197
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
2198
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
2200
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
2201
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2203
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
2204
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
2205
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
2206
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2208
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
2209
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
2210
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
2211
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2215
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
2216
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
2217
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
2219
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
2221
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
2222
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
2224
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
2225
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2227
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
2228
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
2232
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
2233
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
2234
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
2236
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
2237
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
2238
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
2241
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
2242
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
2245
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.
2252
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
2253
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
2254
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
2255
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
2256
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
2257
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
2258
and faster performance.
2262
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
2263
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
2264
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
2265
(John Arbash Meinel, Andrew Bennetts, #214894)
2268
bzr 1.4rc2 2008-04-21
2269
---------------------
2273
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
2274
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
2275
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
2277
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
2278
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
2280
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
2281
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
2283
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
2284
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
2285
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
2286
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
2287
every revision each side had in common.
2288
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2291
bzr 1.4rc1 2008-04-11
2292
---------------------
2296
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
2298
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
2299
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
2301
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
2302
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
2303
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
2305
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
2306
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
2307
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
2308
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
2309
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
2310
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
2313
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
2314
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
2315
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
2316
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
2320
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
2322
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
2323
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
2324
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
2326
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
2327
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
2328
See the User Reference for signature details.
2329
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
2331
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
2332
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
2336
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
2337
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
2338
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
2339
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2341
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
2342
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
2344
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
2345
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
2346
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
2349
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
2352
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
2353
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
2354
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
2356
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
2359
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
2360
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
2362
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
2363
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
2365
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
2366
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
2367
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
2369
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
2370
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
2371
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
2372
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
2373
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
2375
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
2376
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
2378
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
2379
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2383
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
2384
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
2385
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
2386
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
2387
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
2388
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
2390
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
2391
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
2393
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
2394
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
2395
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
2397
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
2398
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
2400
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
2401
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
2402
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
2403
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2405
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
2406
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
2407
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
2408
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
2409
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
2411
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
2413
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
2414
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
2416
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
2418
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
2419
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
2421
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
2422
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
2426
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
2428
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
2430
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2432
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
2436
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
2437
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
2438
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
2440
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
2441
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
2442
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
2443
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
2445
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
2446
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
2447
release. (James Westby)
2449
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
2452
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
2454
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
2455
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
2457
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
2458
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
2460
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
2461
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
2463
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
2464
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
2465
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
2467
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
2468
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
2469
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
2470
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
2472
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
2473
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
2474
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
2475
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
2477
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
2478
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
2479
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
2480
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
2481
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
2482
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
2484
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
2485
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
2486
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
2488
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
2489
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
2491
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
2492
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
2495
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
2496
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
2498
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
2499
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
2501
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
2502
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
2504
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
2505
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
2506
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
2508
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
2509
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
2510
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
2511
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
2512
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
2513
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
2517
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
2518
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
2519
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
2520
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
2522
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
2523
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
2524
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
2525
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
2529
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
2530
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
2533
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
2534
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
2536
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
2538
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
2539
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
2540
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
2544
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2546
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
2549
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
2550
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
2551
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
2552
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
2553
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
2554
(Martin Pool, #109520)
2556
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
2557
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
2559
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
2560
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
2561
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
2562
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
2564
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
2565
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
2567
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
2568
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

bzr 1.3.1 2008-04-09

No changes from 1.3.1rc1.
2577
bzr 1.3rc1 2008-04-04

---------------------
2582
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when

2584
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
2585
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2591
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
2593
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
2594
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
2595
features have been added.

* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching

(#202778, Martin Pool)
2604
bzr 1.3rc1 2008-03-16
2605
---------------------
2607
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2609
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
2610
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
2614
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
2615
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
2616
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
2617
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
2620
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
2621
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
2622
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
2623
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
2624
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
2625
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
2627
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
2628
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
2629
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
2630
(Alexander Belchenko)
2632
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2634
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
2635
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
2639
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
2640
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
2642
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
2643
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
2648
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
2650
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2652
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
2653
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
2654
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
2656
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
2657
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
2659
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
2660
to. (Daniel Watkins)
2662
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
2663
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
2664
(Alexander Belchenko)
2666
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
2667
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
2668
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
2669
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
2671
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
2674
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
2675
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
2676
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
2677
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
2678
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2682
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
2683
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
2684
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
2685
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
2687
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
2688
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
2690
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
2691
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
2693
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
2694
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
2695
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
2697
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
2698
(#198793, John Ferlito)
2700
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
2703
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
2704
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
2706
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
2708
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
2710
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
2711
symlinks (James Henstridge)
2713
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
2714
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
2716
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
2717
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
2719
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
2720
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
2722
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
2723
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
2725
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
2726
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
2730
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
2731
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2735
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
2736
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
2737
(Alexander Belchenko)
2741
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
2743
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
2744
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
2749
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
2750
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
2751
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
2753
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
2754
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
2755
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
2756
(Alexander Belchenko)
2758
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
2759
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
2760
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
2761
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
2763
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
2764
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
2765
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
2768
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
2769
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
2770
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
2772
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
2773
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
2774
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
2776
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
2777
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
2778
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
2779
format. (Robert Collins)
2787
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
2790
bzr 1.2rc1 2008-02-13
2791
---------------------
2793
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2795
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
2796
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
2797
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
2798
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
2799
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
2804
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
2805
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
2807
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
2808
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
2809
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
2811
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
2812
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
2813
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
2814
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
2815
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
2816
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
2821
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
2822
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2824
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
2825
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
2826
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
2829
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
2830
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
2831
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
2832
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
2833
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
2835
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
2836
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
2837
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
2838
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
2839
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
2840
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
2841
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
2842
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
2846
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
2847
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
2849
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
2850
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2852
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
2853
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2855
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
2856
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
2857
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
2859
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
2860
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
2861
(John Arbash Meinel)
2865
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
2866
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
2868
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
2869
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
2871
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
2872
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
2874
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
2875
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
2876
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
2878
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
2879
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
2880
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
2882
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
2883
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
2885
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
2886
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
2887
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
2888
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
2889
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
2891
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2893
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
2894
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
2897
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
2898
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
2900
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
2901
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
2903
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
2904
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
2906
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
2907
more characters which should be considered valid.
2908
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
2910
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
2911
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
2913
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
2914
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
2918
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
2919
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
2921
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
2922
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
2927
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
2928
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
2933
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
2934
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
2935
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
2937
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
2938
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
2939
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
2941
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
2942
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
2943
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
2944
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
2946
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
2948
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
2949
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
2950
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
2951
server. (Robert Collins)
2953
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
2954
operate. (Robert Collins)
2956
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
2957
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
2958
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
2960
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
2961
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
2962
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
2963
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
2965
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
2966
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
2968
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
2969
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
2970
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
2972
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
2973
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
2975
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
2976
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
2978
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
2979
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
2980
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
2981
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)
2987
(no changes from 1.1rc1)
2989
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
2990
---------------------
2994
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
2995
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
2996
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
2997
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
2999
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
3000
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
3001
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
3002
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
3006
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
3009
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
3012
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
3013
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
3017
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
3020
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
3021
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
3022
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
3024
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
3026
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
3027
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
3028
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
3029
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
3030
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
3032
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
3033
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
3034
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
3036
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
3037
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
3039
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
3042
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
3044
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
3046
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
3049
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
3050
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
3054
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
3055
(Martin Pool, #180208)
3057
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
3058
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
3060
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
3063
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
3064
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
3066
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
3067
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
3069
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
3070
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3072
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
3073
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
3075
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
3076
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
3077
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
3079
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
3080
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
3082
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
3083
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
3086
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
3088
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
3089
user:pass embedded in the urls.
3090
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
3092
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
3093
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
3095
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
3098
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
3101
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
3102
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
3104
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
3107
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
3108
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
3111
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
3112
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
3113
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
3117
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
3120
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
3121
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
3122
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
3123
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
3124
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
3125
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
3127
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
3131
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
3134
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
3135
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
3137
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
3139
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
3140
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
3141
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
3144
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
3145
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3147
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
3154
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
3155
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
3156
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
3158
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
3159
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
3162
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
3163
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
3165
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
3166
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
3168
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
3169
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
3171
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
3172
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
3173
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
3175
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
3176
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
3178
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
3179
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
3181
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
3182
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
3185
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
3186
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
3188
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
3189
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
3197
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
3199
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
3202
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
3204
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
3205
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
3209
bzr 1.0rc3 2007-12-11
3210
---------------------
3214
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
3215
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
3216
by mail to the mailing list.
3221
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
3223
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
3224
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
3225
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
3226
feedback but also incur more latency.
3227
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
3229
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
3230
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
3234
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
3236
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
3241
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
3242
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
3243
wraps its output in a StringIO.
3247
bzr 1.0rc2 2007-12-07
3248
---------------------
3252
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
3254
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
3257
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
3260
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
3261
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
3262
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
3263
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3265
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
3268
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
3269
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
3271
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
3272
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
3273
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
3275
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
3276
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
3277
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
3278
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
3279
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
3280
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
3281
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
3282
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
3283
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
3287
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
3290
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
3294
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
3295
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
3297
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
3299
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
3301
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
3302
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
3304
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
3306
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
3307
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
3309
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
3310
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
3314
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
3315
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)
3318
bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
3319
---------------------
3321
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3323
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
3324
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
3325
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
3326
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
3328
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
3329
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
3331
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
3332
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
3334
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
3335
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
3336
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
3337
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
3338
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
3339
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
3340
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
3341
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
3342
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
3343
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
3344
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
3345
from any tree without problems.
3346
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
3350
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
3351
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
3352
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
3354
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
3355
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
3356
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
3361
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
3362
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
3363
supported transports.
3366
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
3367
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
3368
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
3370
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
3371
(Robert Collins, #154173)
3373
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
3374
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
3375
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
3376
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
3378
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
3379
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
3383
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
3384
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
3385
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
3386
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3388
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
3389
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
3390
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
3391
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
3393
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
3394
(Robert Collins, #88319)
3396
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
3397
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
3399
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
3400
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
3402
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
3403
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
3408
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
3411
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
3412
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
3415
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
3416
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
3417
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
3418
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
3420
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
3421
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
3422
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
3423
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
3429
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
3430
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
3432
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
3433
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
3435
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
3436
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
3438
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
3439
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
3441
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
3442
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
3444
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
3445
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
3447
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
3448
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
3450
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
3453
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
3454
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
3456
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
3457
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
3458
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
3460
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
3461
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
3463
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
3464
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
3466
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
3467
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
3469
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
3470
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
3472
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
3473
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
3474
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
3475
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
3477
(Martin Pool, #164637)
3479
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
3480
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
3481
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
3483
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
3484
(Robert Collins, #161240)
3486
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
3488
(Martin Pool, #164443)
3490
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
3491
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
3493
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
3494
specify a port in urls.
3495
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
3497
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
3498
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
3500
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
3501
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
3503
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
3504
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
3506
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
3507
(Robert Collins, #153789)
3509
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
3510
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
3511
(Robert Collins, #165304).
3513
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
3515
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
3516
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
3518
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
3521
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
3522
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
3524
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
3525
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
3527
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
3528
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
3529
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
3531
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
3532
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
3534
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
3535
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
3536
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
3537
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
3539
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
3540
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
3542
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
3543
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
3544
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
3546
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
3547
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
3549
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
3550
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
3552
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
3553
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
3557
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
3558
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
3560
* The return value of
3561
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
3562
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
3563
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
3564
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
3566
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
3569
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
3570
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
3576
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
3577
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
3578
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
3581
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
3582
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
3584
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
3594
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
3597
bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29
3598
----------------------
3600
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3604
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
3605
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
3607
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
3608
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
3609
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
3610
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
3611
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
3612
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
3613
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
3614
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
3615
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
3616
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
3617
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
3618
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
3623
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
3624
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
3625
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
3626
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
3627
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
3628
for further details. (Robert Collins)
3630
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
3631
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
3632
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
3635
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
3637
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
3638
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
3640
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
3641
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
3644
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
3645
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
3646
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
3650
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
3651
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
3653
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
3654
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
3656
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
3657
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
3658
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
3659
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
3661
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
3664
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
3665
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
3666
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
3667
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
3669
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
3670
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
3672
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
3673
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
3675
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
3676
the contents. (Robert Collins)
3678
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
3679
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
3683
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
3684
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
3686
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
3687
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
3689
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
3690
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
3692
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
3693
(Martin Pool, #63894)
3695
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
3696
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
3700
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
3702
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
3707
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
3708
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
3709
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
3711
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
3712
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
3714
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
3715
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
3717
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
3718
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
3719
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
3720
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
3722
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
3723
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
3724
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
3725
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
3726
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
3728
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
3729
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
3731
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
3733
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3735
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
3736
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
3738
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
3739
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
3741
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
3742
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
3744
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
3745
contains a symbolic link.
3746
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
3748
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
3749
(James Westby, #140615)
3751
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
3752
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
3753
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
3755
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
3756
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
3757
(Martin Pool, #144633)
3759
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3761
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
3762
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
3764
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
3766
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
3768
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
3769
directory to detect leaking tests.
3770
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
3772
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
3773
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
3774
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
3776
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
3779
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
3780
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
3782
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
3787
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
3788
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
3790
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
3791
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
3792
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
3794
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
3795
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
3796
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
3798
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
3799
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
3801
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
3802
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
3804
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
3805
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
3808
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
3809
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
3811
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
3812
class that needs it.
3815
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
3816
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
3818
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
3819
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
3820
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
3822
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
3823
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
3824
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
3827
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
3828
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
3829
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
3830
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
3835
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
3836
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
3837
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
3839
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
3840
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
3841
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
3842
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
3844
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
3845
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
3848
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
3849
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
3850
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
3852
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
3853
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
3854
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
3856
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
3857
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
3859
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
3860
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
3861
to complete. (Robert Collins)
3863
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
3864
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
3866
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
3867
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
3868
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
3870
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
3871
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
3872
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
3874
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
3875
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
3876
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
3877
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
3879
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
3880
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
3881
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
3882
returned. (Robert Collins)
3884
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
3885
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
3887
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
3888
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
3889
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
3890
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
3893
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
3894
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
3898
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
3899
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
3901
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
3902
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
3903
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
3904
makes this behavior available to other users.
3907
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
3908
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
3916
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
3917
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
3918
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3920
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3922
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
3923
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
3924
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
3925
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
3927
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
3928
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
3932
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
3933
----------------------
3935
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
3936
in bzrlib/remote.py.
3939
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
3940
----------------------
3944
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
3945
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
3946
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
3947
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
3950
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
3951
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
3952
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
3957
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
3958
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
3959
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
3962
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
3963
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
3964
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
3966
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
3967
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
3968
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
3970
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
3971
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
3973
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
3974
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
3975
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
3976
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
3977
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
3978
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
3979
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
3980
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
3981
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
3982
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
3984
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
3985
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
3987
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
3988
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
3989
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
3993
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
3994
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
3996
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
3997
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
3998
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
4000
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
4001
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
4003
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
4004
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
4006
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
4009
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
4010
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
4012
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
4013
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
4015
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
4016
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4018
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
4019
(Blake Winton, #129299)
4021
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
4023
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
4026
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
4027
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
4028
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
4029
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
4031
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4033
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
4034
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
4037
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
4038
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
4040
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
4041
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
4044
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
4045
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
4047
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
4048
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
4050
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
4051
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
4052
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
4053
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
4054
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
4055
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
4056
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
4058
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
4059
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
4061
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
4062
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
4064
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
4065
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
4067
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
4068
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
4070
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
4072
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
4074
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
4075
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
4077
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
4078
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
4079
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
4081
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
4082
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
4083
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
4087
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
4088
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4090
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
4093
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
4096
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
4097
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
4099
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
4101
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
4102
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
4104
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
4105
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
4107
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
4108
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
4109
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
4110
space). (Robert Collins)
4112
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
4113
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
4116
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
4117
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4119
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
4120
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
4122
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
4123
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
4124
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
4125
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
4127
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
4128
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
4129
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
4132
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
4135
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
4136
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
4137
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
4139
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
4140
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
4141
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
4142
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
4143
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
4147
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
4148
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
4150
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
4151
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
4152
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
4153
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
4154
affected. (Robert Collins)
4156
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
4157
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
4158
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
4161
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
4162
previous release. (Martin Pool)
4166
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
4167
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
4169
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
4170
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4172
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
4173
previous release. (Martin Pool)
4175
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
4178
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
4179
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4183
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
4184
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
4185
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
4186
its version information. (Robert Collins)
4188
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
4189
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4191
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
4192
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
4193
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
4194
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4196
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
4197
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
4198
present. (Robert Collins)
4200
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
4201
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
4202
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
4203
API. (Robert Collins)
4205
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
4206
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
4209
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
4210
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
4212
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
4213
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
4214
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
4215
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
4216
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
4217
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
4219
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
4220
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
4221
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
4223
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
4224
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
4225
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
4226
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
4229
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
4232
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
4233
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
4234
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
4235
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
4236
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
4237
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
4238
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
4240
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
4241
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
4242
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
4243
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
4245
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
4246
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
4247
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
4248
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
4249
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
4250
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
4252
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
4253
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
4254
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
4256
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
4257
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
4265
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
4266
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
4267
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
4268
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
4269
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
4270
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
4271
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
4272
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
4277
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
4278
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
4279
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
4282
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
4283
----------------------
4287
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
4288
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
4289
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
4290
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
4291
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
4293
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
4294
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
4296
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
4298
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
4300
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
4301
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
4304
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
4305
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
4308
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
4311
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
4312
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
4314
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
4315
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
4317
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
4318
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
4320
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
4321
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
4323
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
4324
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
4326
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
4331
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
4332
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
4334
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
4335
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
4337
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
4338
the repository (Robert Collins)
4340
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
4341
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
4342
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
4343
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
4344
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
4346
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
4347
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
4349
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
4350
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
4351
(John Arbash Meinel)
4353
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
4354
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
4355
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
4357
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
4358
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
4359
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
4360
(John Arbash Meinel)
4362
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
4363
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
4366
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
4367
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
4369
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
4372
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
4374
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
4376
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
4377
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
4379
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
4380
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
4383
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
4384
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
4385
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
4386
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
4388
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
4389
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
4390
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
4392
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
4393
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
4394
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
4396
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
4397
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
4399
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
4400
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
4401
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
4402
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
4403
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
4404
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
4407
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
4408
(Alexander Belchenko)
4410
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
4411
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
4413
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
4414
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
4416
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
4418
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
4419
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
4423
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
4424
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
4425
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
4426
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
4428
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
4430
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
4433
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
4434
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
4435
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
4436
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
4437
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
4438
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
4442
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
4443
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
4444
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
4445
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
4447
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
4448
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
4449
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
4450
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
4451
tests have been refactored too.
4454
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
4455
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
4456
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
4460
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
4461
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
4462
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
4464
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
4465
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
4466
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
4467
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
4468
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
4469
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
4470
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
4472
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
4473
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
4474
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
4475
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
4476
(John Arbash Meinel)
4478
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
4479
functionality for testing.
4481
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
4483
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
4484
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4486
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
4488
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
4491
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
4492
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
4494
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
4495
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
4496
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
4498
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
4501
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
4502
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
4504
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
4505
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
4506
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
4507
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
4509
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
4510
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
4512
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
4513
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
4514
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
4516
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
4519
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
4520
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
4521
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
4522
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
4523
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
4524
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
4526
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
4527
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
4528
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
4529
many files. (Robert Collins)
4531
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
4532
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
4533
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
4534
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
4538
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
4539
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
4540
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
4542
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
4543
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
4545
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
4546
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
4547
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
4551
--------------------
4555
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
4558
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
4559
-----------------------
4563
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
4564
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
4566
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
4567
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
4568
(James Westby, #122656)
4570
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
4571
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
4573
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
4574
authentication header.
4575
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
4577
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
4579
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
4580
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
4582
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
4584
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.

* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
4588
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
4589
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
4591
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
4592
individually and as part of revision ranges.
4593
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
4595
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
4596
(Martin Pool, #109169)
4598
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
4599
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
4601
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
4602
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
4604
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
4606
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
4610
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
4611
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
4612
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
4613
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
4614
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
4615
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
4617
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
4618
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
4619
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
4621
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
4624
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
4625
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
4627
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
4628
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
4630
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
4631
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
4633
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
4634
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
4635
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
4636
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
4637
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
4639
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
4640
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
4642
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
4643
can be slow it is useful feedback).
4644
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
4646
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
4647
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
4649
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
4651
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
4652
output. (Aaron Bentley)
4654
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
4655
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
4658
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
4661
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
4662
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
4664
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
4665
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
4667
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
4668
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
4670
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
4672
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
4673
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
4675
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
4680
* Testing cleanups -
4681
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
4682
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
4683
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
4684
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
4685
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4686
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
4687
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4688
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
4689
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4690
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
4691
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
4692
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
4693
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4694
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
4695
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4696
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
4697
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
4700
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
4702
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
4703
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
4704
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
4706
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
4707
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
4709
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
4710
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4712
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
4714
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
4715
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
4716
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
4717
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
4718
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
4719
same location. (Robert Collins)
4723
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
4725
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
4727
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
4729
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
4732
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
4735
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
4736
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
4737
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
4739
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
4741
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
4742
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
4743
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
4745
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
4746
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
4748
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
4749
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
4750
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
4752
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
4753
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
4754
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
4756
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
4757
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
4758
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
4760
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
4761
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
4764
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
4765
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
4767
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
4768
(Alexander Belchenko)
4772
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
4773
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
4774
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
4775
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4777
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
4778
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
4779
testing. (Robert Collins)
4781
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
4782
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
4784
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
4785
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
4786
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
4787
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
4788
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
4789
attribute during the test parameterisation in
4790
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
4792
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
4793
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
4794
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
4795
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
4797
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
4798
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
4800
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
4801
avoid useless cloning.
4802
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
4806
--------------------
4810
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
4811
(Colin Watson, #120647)
4813
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
4814
(Aaron Bentley, Ian Clatworthy, #120930)
4817
bzr 0.17rc1 2007-06-12
4818
-----------------------
4820
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4822
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
4823
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
4824
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
4825
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
4826
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
4827
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
4828
and unlock() like so::
4830
work_tree.lock_read()
4832
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
4837
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
4838
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
4840
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
4841
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
4842
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
4844
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
4845
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
4846
too. (Robert Collins)
4850
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
4851
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
4854
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
4855
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
4857
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
4858
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
4860
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
4861
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
4862
understanding what changes have occurred
4863
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
4865
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
4866
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
4867
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
4869
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
4870
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
4871
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
4872
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
4874
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
4879
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
4880
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
4881
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
4882
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
4883
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
4885
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
4886
based on split paths, not just string paths.
4887
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
4889
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
4890
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
4892
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
4894
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
4896
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
4897
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
4899
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
4900
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
4902
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
4903
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
4905
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
4906
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
4908
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
4909
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
4911
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
4912
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
4913
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
4916
--------------------
4920
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
4921
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
4922
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
4923
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
4924
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
4926
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
4927
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
4928
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
4930
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
4931
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
4935
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
4936
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
4937
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
4939
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
4940
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
4941
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
4942
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
4944
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
4945
-----------------------
4949
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
4950
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
4951
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
4952
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
4954
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
4955
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
4956
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
4958
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
4959
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
4961
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
4962
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
4964
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
4965
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
4967
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
4968
-----------------------
4970
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4972
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
4973
it could be recovered again.
4974
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
4975
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
4976
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
4978
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
4980
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
4981
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
4985
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
4986
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
4988
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
4989
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
4990
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
4991
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
4993
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
4994
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
4996
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
4997
tests with names that match that regular expression.
4998
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
5000
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
5001
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
5002
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
5004
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
5005
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
5006
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
5008
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
5009
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
5012
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
5015
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
5016
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
5017
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
5018
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
5020
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
5023
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
5024
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
5025
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
5028
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
5029
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
5031
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
5032
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
5034
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
5035
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
5036
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
5037
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
5040
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
5041
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
5043
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
5044
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
5046
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
5047
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
5048
(Robert Collins, #107125).
5050
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
5051
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
5052
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
5054
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
5055
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
5056
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5058
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
5059
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
5060
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
5061
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
5063
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
5064
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
5065
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
5066
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
5068
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
5069
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
5070
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
5071
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
5072
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
5073
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
5074
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
5075
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
5081
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
5082
code paths. (Robert Collins)
5084
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
5085
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
5086
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
5087
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
5088
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5090
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
5091
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
5093
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
5094
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
5096
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
5097
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
5099
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
5100
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
5102
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
5103
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
5104
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
5107
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
5108
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
5109
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
5110
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
5111
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
5114
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
5115
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
5116
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
5118
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
5119
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
5122
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
5123
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
5124
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
5127
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
5128
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
5129
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
5130
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
5131
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
5133
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
5134
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
5135
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
5136
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5138
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
5139
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
5141
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
5142
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
5143
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
5144
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
5145
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
5146
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
5148
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
5149
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
5151
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
5152
help. (Robert Collins)
5154
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
5155
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
5157
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
5158
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
5159
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
5160
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
5161
(John Arbash Meinel)
5163
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
5164
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
5165
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
5166
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
5167
useful. (Robert Collins)
5169
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
5174
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
5175
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
5177
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
5178
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
5180
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
5181
properly and is no longer beneficial.
5182
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
5184
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
5187
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
5188
the file, and does it faster.
5189
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
5191
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
5192
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
5193
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
5195
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
5196
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
5197
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
5198
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
5200
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
5201
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
5202
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
5203
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
5205
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
5206
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
5208
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
5209
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
5210
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
5211
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
5214
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
5216
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
5217
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
5219
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
5220
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
5222
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
5223
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
5224
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
5225
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
5229
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
5230
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
5234
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
5235
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
5236
in running it. (Robert Collins)
5238
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
5239
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
5241
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
5242
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
5243
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
5244
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
5245
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
5246
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
5247
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
5248
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5250
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
5251
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
5252
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5254
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
5255
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
5256
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
5257
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
5258
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
5260
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5262
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
5263
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
5264
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
5266
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
5267
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
5275
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
5278
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
5279
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
5282
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
5283
-----------------------
5287
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
5288
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
5293
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
5294
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
5295
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
5296
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
5297
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
5298
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
5299
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
5300
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
5305
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
5306
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
5307
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
5309
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
5310
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
5313
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
5314
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
5315
(John Arbash Meinel)
5317
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
5318
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
5319
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
5320
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
5321
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
5325
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
5328
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
5329
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
5331
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
5332
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
5334
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
5335
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
5336
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
5338
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
5339
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
5341
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
5342
last-changed-revision for directories. The
5343
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
5344
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
5345
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
5347
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
5348
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
5349
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
5351
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
5354
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
5355
-----------------------
5357
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5359
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
5360
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
5361
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
5365
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
5366
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
5368
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
5369
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
5371
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
5373
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
5374
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
5376
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
5377
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
5381
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
5386
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
5387
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
5388
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
5389
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
5391
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
5392
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
5394
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
5395
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
5397
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
5400
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
5401
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
5404
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
5405
-----------------------
5409
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
5410
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
5411
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
5412
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
5413
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
5414
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
5416
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
5417
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
5418
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
5419
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
5420
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
5421
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
5423
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
5425
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
5426
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
5427
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
5428
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
5429
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
5430
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
5431
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
5432
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
5436
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
5437
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
5439
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
5440
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
5441
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
5442
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
5444
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
5445
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
5446
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
5447
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
5448
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
5450
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
5453
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
5456
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
5459
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
5460
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
5463
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
5466
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
5467
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
5469
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
5470
directory. (Martin Pool)
5472
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
5473
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
5474
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
5475
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
5477
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
5478
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
5479
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
5480
in docs/configuration.txt.
5482
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
5483
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
5486
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
5487
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
5488
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
5489
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
5490
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
5491
repositories. (Martin Pool)
5493
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
5494
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
5496
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
5497
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
5499
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
5504
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
5505
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
5506
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
5507
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
5508
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
5509
(John Arbash Meinel)
5511
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
5512
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
5515
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
5516
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
5517
(John Arbash Meinel)
5519
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
5520
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
5521
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
5522
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
5523
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
5524
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
5526
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
5527
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
5528
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
5530
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
5531
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
5532
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
5533
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
5535
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5537
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
5538
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
5539
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
5540
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
5542
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
5543
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
5544
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
5545
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
5547
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
5548
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
5549
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
5551
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
5552
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
5553
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
5555
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
5556
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
5557
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
5558
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
5560
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
5561
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
5562
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
5564
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
5565
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
5566
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
5568
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
5569
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
5570
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
5571
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
5572
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
5573
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
5574
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
5575
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
5576
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
5577
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
5578
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
5582
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
5583
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
5584
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
5586
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
5589
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
5590
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
5591
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
5592
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
5594
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
5595
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
5598
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
5599
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
5601
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
5603
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
5604
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
5605
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
5607
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
5608
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
5610
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
5611
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
5613
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
5614
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
5616
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
5617
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
5619
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
5621
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
5622
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
5626
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
5627
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
5631
--------------------
5635
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
5639
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
5640
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
5641
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
5643
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
5644
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
5645
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
5648
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
5649
-----------------------
5653
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
5654
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
5655
server, then you can write over the http connection.
5656
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5658
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
5661
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
5662
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
5663
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
5665
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
5666
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
5668
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
5671
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
5672
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
5673
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
5674
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
5675
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
5676
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
5678
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
5679
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
5680
should enable you to do::
5682
[/home/user/project]
5683
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
5684
push_location:policy = appendpath
5686
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
5687
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
5690
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
5691
for each file. For example::
5693
$ bzr status --short
5699
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
5700
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
5702
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
5704
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
5705
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
5707
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
5711
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
5712
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
5713
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
5714
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
5716
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
5717
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
5718
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
5720
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5722
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
5723
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
5724
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
5725
(Alexander Belchenko)
5727
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
5730
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
5731
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
5733
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
5737
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
5738
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
5740
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
5741
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
5742
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
5743
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
5744
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
5746
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
5747
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
5749
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
5750
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
5752
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
5754
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
5756
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
5757
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
5758
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
5759
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
5760
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
5762
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
5763
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
5764
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
5765
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
5767
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
5768
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
5770
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
5771
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
5773
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
5774
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
5776
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
5777
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)

--------------------
5783
No changes from 0.13rc1
5785
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
5786
-----------------------
5790
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
5792
(Daniel Silverstone)
5794
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
5795
operations are substantially faster.
5796
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
5798
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
5799
tree from some other url. For example:
5800
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
5801
(Daniel Silverstone)
5803
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
5804
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
5805
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
5806
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
5808
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
5811
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
5812
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
5813
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
5814
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
5815
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
5816
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
5820
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
5821
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
5824
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
5825
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
5826
(John Arbash Meinel)
5828
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
5829
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
5830
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
5831
(John Arbash Meinel)
5833
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
5834
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
5836
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
5837
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
5839
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
5840
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
5845
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
5846
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
5847
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
5849
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
5850
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
5851
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
5852
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
5854
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
5856
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
5857
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
5859
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
5860
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
5861
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
5862
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
5864
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
5865
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
5866
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
5868
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
5869
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
5870
them as full references rather than integers.
5871
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
5873
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
5874
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
5876
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
5878
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
5879
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
5881
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
5882
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
5884
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
5885
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
5886
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
5887
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
5889
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
5890
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
5891
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
5893
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
5894
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
5896
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
5897
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
5898
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
5899
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
5900
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
5904
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
5905
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
5908
--------------------
5912
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
5913
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
5914
(John Arbash Meinel)
5916
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
5917
-----------------------
5921
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
5922
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
5923
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
5924
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
5926
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
5927
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
5929
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
5931
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
5932
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
5933
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
5934
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
5936
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
5937
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
5938
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
5939
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
5940
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
5942
API INCOMPATABILITY:
5944
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
5945
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
5949
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
5950
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
5951
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
5953
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
5954
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
5955
(John Arbash Meinel)
5957
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
5958
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
5959
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
5961
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
5962
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
5965
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
5966
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
5967
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5969
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
5970
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
5971
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
5972
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
5973
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
5974
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5976
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
5977
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
5978
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
5981
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
5982
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
5986
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
5987
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
5988
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
5991
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
5992
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
5994
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
5995
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
5996
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
5998
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
5999
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
6001
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
6002
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
6003
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
6004
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
6006
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
6007
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
6009
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
6010
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
6011
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
6013
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
6014
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
6016
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
6018
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
6019
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
6024
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
6025
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
6026
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
6027
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
6029
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
6030
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
6031
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6034
--------------------
6036
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
6038
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
6039
-----------------------
6043
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
6045
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
6048
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
6049
-----------------------
6053
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
6054
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
6055
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
6056
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
6057
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
6058
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
6059
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
6061
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
6062
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
6063
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
6065
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
6067
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
6068
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
6070
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
6071
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
6072
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
6075
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
6076
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
6077
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
6078
(John Arbash Meinel)
6080
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
6081
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
6082
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
6083
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
6086
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
6087
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
6088
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
6089
(John Arbash Meinel)
6093
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
6094
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
6096
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
6098
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
6099
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
6100
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
6102
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
6103
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
6105
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
6106
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
6108
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
6109
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
6111
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
6112
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
6114
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
6116
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
6117
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
6119
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
6120
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
6122
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
6123
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
6125
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
6126
(John Arbash Meinel)
6128
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
6129
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
6130
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
6132
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
6133
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
6135
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
6136
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
6137
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
6138
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
6140
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
6141
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
6142
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
6144
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
6145
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
6149
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
6153
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
6154
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
6155
(John Arbash Meinel)
6157
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
6158
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
6159
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
6160
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
6162
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
6165
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
6166
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
6167
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
6169
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
6170
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
6172
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
6173
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
6174
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
6176
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
6177
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
6178
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
6179
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
6180
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
6181
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
6182
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
6183
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
6184
caller to repeat their request.
6185
(John Arbash Meinel)
6187
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
6188
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
6190
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
6191
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
6193
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
6194
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
6195
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
6196
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
6197
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
6198
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
6199
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
6201
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
6202
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
6203
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
6204
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
6205
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
6206
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
6207
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
6208
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
6211
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
6212
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
6213
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
6215
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
6216
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
6218
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
6219
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
6221
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
6222
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
6226
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
6227
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
6229
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
6230
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
6231
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
6233
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
6234
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
6235
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
6238
--------------------
6241
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
6242
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
6244
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
6245
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
6246
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
6247
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
6248
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
6250
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
6251
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
6252
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
6254
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
6255
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
6257
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
6258
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
6259
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6263
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
6265
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
6266
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
6267
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
6269
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
6271
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
6273
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
6274
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
6275
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
6276
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
6278
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
6279
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
6280
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
6281
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
6282
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
6284
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
6285
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
6287
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
6288
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
6290
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
6291
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
6293
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
6294
in handling of revision properties.
6295
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
6297
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
6298
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
6302
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
6303
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
6304
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
6305
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
6306
(John Arbash Meinel)
6308
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
6309
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
6310
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
6312
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
6313
---------------------
6317
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
6318
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
6319
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
6320
specific one '.bzrignore'.
6321
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
6322
a more conservative list than the old default.
6323
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
6324
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
6325
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
6326
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
6328
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
6329
to more locations than just branch locations.
6334
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
6335
revno:N:branch. For example,
6336
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
6337
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
6339
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
6340
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
6341
the path of a file that has been versioned.
6342
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
6343
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
6344
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
6345
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
6346
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
6349
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
6350
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
6351
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
6354
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
6355
(Alexander Belchenko)
6357
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
6359
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
6362
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
6363
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
6364
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
6365
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
6366
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
6367
(John Arbash Meinel)
6369
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
6370
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
6371
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
6372
grained analysis of performance.
6373
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
6375
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
6376
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
6378
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
6379
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
6380
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
6381
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
6382
file. (Robert Collins).
6384
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
6385
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
6386
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
6388
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
6389
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
6392
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
6393
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
6395
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
6396
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
6397
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
6398
the same way you would apply another branch.
6399
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
6401
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
6402
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
6404
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
6407
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
6410
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
6411
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
6412
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
6414
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
6415
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
6416
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
6418
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
6419
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
6421
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
6422
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
6423
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
6424
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
6425
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
6427
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
6428
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
6430
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
6431
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
6432
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
6433
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
6434
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
6435
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
6436
branch is as much as 4x faster.
6437
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
6439
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
6440
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
6441
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
6445
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
6447
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
6449
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
6450
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6452
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
6453
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
6455
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
6456
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
6458
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
6460
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
6461
(John Arbash Meinel)
6463
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
6464
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
6466
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
6467
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
6470
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
6471
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
6473
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
6474
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
6476
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
6477
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
6478
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
6479
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
6481
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
6482
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
6484
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
6486
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
6487
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
6489
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
6491
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
6493
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
6494
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
6496
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
6497
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
6499
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
6500
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
6501
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
6503
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
6504
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
6505
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
6507
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
6508
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
6510
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
6511
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
6513
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
6514
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
6516
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
6517
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
6519
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
6520
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
6522
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
6523
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
6524
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
6526
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
6528
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
6529
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
6533
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
6534
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
6535
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
6537
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
6538
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
6540
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
6541
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
6542
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
6544
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
6545
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
6547
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
6548
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
6551
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
6552
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
6553
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6555
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
6556
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
6557
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6559
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
6560
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
6561
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
6563
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
6564
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
6565
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
6567
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
6568
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
6569
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
6571
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
6572
instead. (Robert Collins)
6574
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
6576
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
6577
---------------------
6581
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
6583
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
6584
---------------------
6588
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
6589
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
6591
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
6592
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6594
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
6595
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
6596
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
6600
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
6602
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
6603
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
6605
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
6609
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
6610
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
6611
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
6612
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
6616
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
6617
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
6618
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
6622
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
6623
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
6624
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6628
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
6629
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
6634
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
6636
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
6637
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
6638
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
6639
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
6640
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
6641
will keep the same format.
6643
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
6644
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
6645
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
6646
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
6647
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
6649
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
6650
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
6651
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
6652
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
6653
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
6654
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
6655
indicating the current revision of the branch.
6657
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
6658
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
6659
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
6660
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
6661
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
6663
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
6664
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
6665
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
6671
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
6672
convention. Paths now take the form::
6674
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
6676
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
6678
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
6679
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
6681
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
6682
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
6683
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
6685
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
6686
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
6687
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
6688
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
6690
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
6691
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
6692
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
6694
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
6696
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
6698
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
6699
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
6702
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
6703
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
6706
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
6708
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
6709
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
6710
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
6713
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
6715
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
6717
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
6720
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
6721
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
6723
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
6724
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
6727
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
6728
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
6731
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
6733
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
6735
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
6736
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
6738
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
6739
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
6740
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
6741
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
6742
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
6743
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
6745
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
6747
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
6748
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
6751
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
6752
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
6754
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
6755
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
6757
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
6759
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
6760
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
6761
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
6762
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
6763
specification by Martin Pool.
6764
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
6766
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
6769
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
6770
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
6772
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
6773
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
6774
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
6776
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
6778
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
6779
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
6784
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
6785
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6787
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
6789
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
6791
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
6794
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
6795
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
6796
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
6797
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
6801
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
6802
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
6803
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
6804
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6806
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
6807
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
6808
tried. (Martin Pool)
6810
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
6813
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
6815
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
6816
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
6817
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
6819
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
6820
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
6822
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
6823
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
6824
paths. (Robert Collins)
6826
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
6827
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
6828
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
6830
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
6831
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
6832
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
6834
* Progress bars are now nested - see
6835
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
6836
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
6838
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
6841
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
6844
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
6846
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
6848
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
6849
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
6850
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
6853
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
6854
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
6856
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
6857
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
6858
check. (Robert Collins)
6860
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
6861
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
6865
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
6866
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
6868
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
6869
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
6870
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
6871
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
6873
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
6874
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
6875
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
6876
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
6877
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
6879
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
6880
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
6881
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
6883
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
6885
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
6886
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
6893
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
6894
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
6896
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
6897
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
6898
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
6901
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
6902
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
6904
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
6905
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
6906
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
6907
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
6908
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
6910
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
6911
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
6912
used. (Robert Collins)
6914
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
6915
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
6918
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
6919
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
6920
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
6922
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
6925
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
6926
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
6930
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
6931
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
6933
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
6935
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
6937
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
6938
tree. (Robert Collins)
6940
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
6941
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
6942
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
6945
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
6948
* Tweaks to short log printing
6950
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
6953
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
6954
occurs. (Martin Pool)
6956
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
6957
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
6959
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
6960
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
6962
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
6963
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
6964
settings. (Magnus Therning)
6966
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
6967
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
6969
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
6970
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
6973
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
6974
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
6976
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
6977
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
6979
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
6980
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
6982
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
6985
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
6986
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
6988
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
6989
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
6991
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
6992
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
6993
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
6997
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
6999
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
7001
* Error when run with -OO
7003
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
7006
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
7008
* Change status to 3 for all errors
7010
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
7011
ignored by diff and status
7013
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
7014
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
7016
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
7018
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
7020
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
7021
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
7023
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
7024
email address. (Marien Zwart)
7026
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
7029
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
7030
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
7032
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
7034
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
7035
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
7037
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
7040
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
7041
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
7043
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
7047
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
7048
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
7050
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
7052
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
7054
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
7056
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
7057
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
7058
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
7060
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
7062
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
7063
(John Arbash Meinel)
7065
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
7067
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
7068
If adding a new test script please add that to
7069
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
7071
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
7072
imported. (Martin Pool)
7074
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
7075
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
7076
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
7077
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
7078
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
7081
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
7082
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
7083
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
7085
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
7086
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
7087
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
7089
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
7090
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
7091
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
7092
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
7093
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
7096
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
7097
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
7102
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
7103
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
7105
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
7106
function. (Robert Collins)
7108
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
7109
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
7110
if needed). (Robert Collins)
7112
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
7113
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
7116
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
7117
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
7118
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
7119
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
7120
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
7121
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
7122
version. (Robert Collins)
7124
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
7125
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
7127
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
7128
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
7129
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
7130
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
7131
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
7132
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
7134
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
7137
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
7147
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
7149
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
7151
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
7154
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
7155
query method. (Robert Collins)
7157
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
7160
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
7163
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
7166
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
7167
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
7168
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
7169
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
7171
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
7172
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
7173
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
7174
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
7176
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
7177
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
7184
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
7187
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
7191
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
7192
a separator, not ':'.
7195
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
7196
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
7197
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
7199
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
7200
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
7203
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
7204
has been added that suppresses all output.
7206
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
7209
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
7210
Goffredo Baroncelli.
7212
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
7213
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
7215
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
7216
a revision. (Robert Collins)
7218
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
7219
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
7220
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
7221
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
7223
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
7225
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
7226
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
7228
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
7229
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
7231
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
7232
output directory, if one was supplied.
7234
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
7235
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
7236
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
7237
parameters. (Robert Collins)
7239
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
7241
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
7242
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
7244
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
7245
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
7246
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
7248
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
7249
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
7251
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
7254
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
7256
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
7260
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
7261
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
7262
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
7264
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
7265
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
7266
related questions. (Robert Collins)
7268
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
7269
is given. (Martin Pool)
7271
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
7272
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
7273
file. (Robert Collins)
7275
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
7280
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
7281
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
7282
representation. (Martin Pool).
7284
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
7285
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
7286
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
7288
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
7291
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
7292
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
7295
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
7296
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
7297
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
7298
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
7299
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
7301
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
7302
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
7303
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
7304
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
7305
python path. (Robert Collins)
7307
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
7308
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
7309
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
7310
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
7312
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
7313
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
7315
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
7316
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
7319
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
7320
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
7321
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
7323
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
7324
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
7325
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
7327
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
7328
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
7330
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
7331
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
7332
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
7335
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
7336
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
7337
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
7338
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
7341
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
7344
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
7345
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
7348
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
7349
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
7350
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
7352
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
7353
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
7354
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
7356
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
7357
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
7358
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
7360
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
7361
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
7363
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
7364
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
7365
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
7366
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
7367
caller. (Robert Collins)
7369
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
7370
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
7373
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
7374
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
7377
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
7379
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
7380
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
7384
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
7385
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
7387
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
7388
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
7391
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
7392
--------------------
7396
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
7397
allow directories to be listed.
7399
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
7400
upgrading branch format.
7404
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
7412
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
7413
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
7414
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
7415
high-latency connections.
7419
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
7422
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
7423
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
7425
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
7426
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
7427
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
7428
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
7430
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
7431
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
7433
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
7434
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
7436
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
7437
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
7438
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
7440
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
7441
for files with only a change to their executable status.
7442
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
7445
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
7446
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
7448
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
7449
different partial views of history.
7451
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
7452
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
7456
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
7457
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
7458
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
7460
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
7461
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
7464
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
7465
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
7467
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
7470
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
7471
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
7473
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
7474
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
7475
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
7476
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
7478
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
7480
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
7481
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
7484
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
7485
Contributed by Robert Collins.
7487
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
7488
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
7489
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
7494
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
7495
for your viewing pleasure.
7497
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
7498
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
7500
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
7501
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
7502
handling of such circumstances.
7504
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
7505
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
7506
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
7508
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
7510
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
7511
we call them revisions not patches.
7513
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
7514
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
7516
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
7517
giving the revision *of that file*.
7519
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
7520
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
7521
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
7525
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
7526
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
7528
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
7529
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
7532
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
7533
--------------------
7537
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
7539
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
7542
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
7544
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
7546
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
7547
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
7551
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
7552
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
7554
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
7555
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
7556
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
7557
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
7560
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
7561
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
7565
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
7567
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
7568
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
7571
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
7572
--------------------
7576
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
7577
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
7578
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
7579
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
7582
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
7585
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
7586
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
7587
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
7588
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
7589
for the operating system is still tried.
7591
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
7592
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
7593
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
7598
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
7602
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
7604
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
7607
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
7613
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
7615
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
7618
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
7619
--------------------
7623
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
7624
help with intelligent shell completion.
7626
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
7631
* Much better merge support.
7633
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
7634
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
7640
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
7641
mention revisions that are not present.
7643
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
7645
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
7647
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
7648
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
7653
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
7655
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
7656
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
7662
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
7663
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
7668
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
7669
--------------------
7673
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
7674
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
7676
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
7678
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
7679
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
7681
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
7684
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
7686
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
7689
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
7690
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
7692
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
7693
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
7694
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
7699
* Faster working tree operations.
7704
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
7705
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
7706
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
7707
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
7709
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
7710
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
7711
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
7712
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
7713
standard plugins directory.
7715
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
7716
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
7717
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
7718
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
7720
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
7721
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
7723
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
7726
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
7727
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
7728
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
7730
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
7731
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
7733
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
7734
line options must come before the command name because they
7735
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
7736
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
7739
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
7741
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
7742
is available with ``--short``.
7747
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
7750
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
7751
---------------------
7755
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
7756
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
7758
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
7759
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
7760
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
7761
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
7763
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
7764
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
7765
with the ``--forward`` option.
7767
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
7768
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
7774
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
7775
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
7777
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
7779
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
7780
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
7782
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
7784
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
7785
either read or write mode.
7787
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
7789
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
7792
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
7794
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
7795
suggested by LarstiQ.
7797
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
7798
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
7800
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
7803
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
7804
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
7806
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
7807
haven't changed since the previous time.
7809
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
7810
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
7812
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
7814
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
7816
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
7817
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
7819
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
7820
options through to an external GNU diff.
7822
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
7825
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
7831
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
7832
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
7834
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
7840
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
7841
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
7844
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
7845
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
7847
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
7848
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
7850
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
7851
under a different version.
7853
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
7858
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
7860
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
7861
Scott James Remnant.
7863
* Better help messages for many commands.
7865
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
7866
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
7868
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
7869
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
7871
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
7873
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
7875
* New AtomicFile class.
7877
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
7882
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
7883
2.4 is now only recommended.
7886
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
7887
---------------------
7891
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
7892
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
7894
* More default ignore patterns.
7896
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
7897
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
7899
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
7901
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
7904
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
7909
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
7910
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
7911
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
7912
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
7913
there are DNS problems.
7915
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
7920
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
7922
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
7924
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
7925
trailing newlines properly.
7930
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
7933
* More tests in test.sh.
7935
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
7936
directory and delete it when done.
7938
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
7943
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
7946
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
7950
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
7951
---------------------
7955
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
7958
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
7960
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
7963
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
7966
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
7968
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
7972
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
7973
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
7978
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
7979
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
7984
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
7988
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
7996
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
7999
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
8000
-----------------------------------
8004
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
8006
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
8007
rather than replacing it.
8009
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
8013
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
8016
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
8017
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
8019
* Performance improvements.
8021
* New global --profile option.
8023
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
8024
the root directory only.
8027
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
8028
---------------------
8032
* More information from info command.
8034
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
8036
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
8037
committing to stores.
8039
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
8043
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
8047
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
8048
installation easier.
8050
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
8054
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
8055
------------------------
8059
* First public release.
8061
* Storage of local versions: init, add, remove, rm, info, log,
