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
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
27
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
28
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
29
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
32
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --format
33
gnu-changelog``. (Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
35
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
38
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
39
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
41
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
42
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
47
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
48
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
50
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
51
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
52
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
54
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
55
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
57
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
58
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
59
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
62
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
63
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
64
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
66
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
67
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
68
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
69
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
71
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
74
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
75
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
77
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
78
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
80
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
81
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
82
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
84
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
88
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
89
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
92
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
93
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
94
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
96
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
97
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
99
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
100
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
102
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
103
(James Westby, #174539)
105
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
106
error branching from old repositories.
107
(Martin Pool, #321695)
109
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
110
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
112
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
113
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
114
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
115
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
117
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
118
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko)
120
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
121
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
123
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
124
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
128
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
129
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
133
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
134
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
135
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
138
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.
139
(Daniel Watkins, #327421, #327425)
143
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
144
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
145
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
146
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
147
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
149
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
150
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
151
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
152
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
153
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
154
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
156
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
157
"author" argument being deprecated.
159
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
161
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
162
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
163
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
164
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
166
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
167
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
168
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
170
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
171
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
172
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
174
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
175
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
177
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
178
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
179
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
180
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
184
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
185
free of virtual file system methods.
186
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
188
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
189
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
190
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
192
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
193
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
194
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
195
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
196
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
197
(Robert Collins, #334187)
199
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
201
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
202
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
204
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
205
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
206
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
207
stream the operation.
208
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
210
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
211
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
213
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
214
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
215
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
216
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
217
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
219
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
220
branch object. (Robert Collins)
222
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
223
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
224
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
226
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
227
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
230
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
233
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
234
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
235
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
237
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
238
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
239
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
241
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
242
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
243
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
245
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
246
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
247
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
249
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
250
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
251
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
252
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
253
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
255
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
256
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
257
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
258
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
259
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
260
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
262
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
263
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
264
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
265
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
266
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
268
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
269
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
271
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
272
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
274
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
275
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
276
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
277
to access private data in record to obtain content more
278
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
280
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
281
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.
285
bzr 1.12 "1234567890" 2009-02-13
286
--------------------------------
288
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
289
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
290
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
291
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
292
by showing the rate of network IO.
296
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
297
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
301
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
302
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
305
bzr 1.12rc1 "1234567890" 2009-02-10
306
-----------------------------------
308
COMPATIBILITY BREAKS:
310
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
311
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
312
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
313
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
315
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
316
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
317
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
320
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
321
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
322
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
323
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
325
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
326
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
327
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
330
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
334
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
335
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
336
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
339
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
340
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
341
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
343
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
344
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
345
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
346
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
347
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
348
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
349
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
350
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
351
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
356
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
359
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
362
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
363
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
364
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
366
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
367
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
368
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
369
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
370
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
372
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
373
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
375
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
376
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
377
level for better precision.
380
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
381
rules. (Marius Kruger)
383
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
384
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
385
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
387
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
388
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
389
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
392
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
393
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
394
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
398
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
400
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
402
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
403
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
404
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
406
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
407
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
408
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
409
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
410
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
411
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
413
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
414
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
416
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
417
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
419
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
420
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
421
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
423
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
424
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
425
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
428
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
429
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
431
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
432
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
433
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
434
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
436
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
437
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
439
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
441
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)
445
* Improved plugin developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
449
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
450
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
453
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
454
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
456
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
457
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
459
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
460
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
462
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
463
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
464
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
465
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
467
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
468
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
469
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
473
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
474
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
475
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
476
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
477
compile buffers, are such an example).
480
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
481
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
484
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
485
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
486
efficient way of doing the mapping.
489
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
490
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
492
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
493
formatters to retrict the output.
497
bzr 1.11 "Eyes up!" 2009-01-19
498
------------------------------
500
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
501
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
502
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
503
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
504
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
506
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
507
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
510
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
511
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.
515
* Fix failing test when CompiledChunksToLines is not available.
518
* Stacked branches don't repeatedly open their transport connection.
523
bzr 1.11rc1 "Eyes up!" 2009-01-09
524
---------------------------------
528
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
529
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
533
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
534
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
536
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
537
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
538
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
539
implement other plugins.
542
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
547
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
548
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
550
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
551
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
553
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
554
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
555
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
556
processes which drag in shell extensions.
559
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
560
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
561
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
562
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
563
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
565
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
566
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
567
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
568
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
569
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
573
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
574
control directory. (#139691)
576
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
577
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
579
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
580
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
582
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
583
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
584
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
586
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
587
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
589
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
590
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
591
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
593
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
594
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
596
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
599
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
600
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
601
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
603
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
604
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
606
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
607
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
608
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
610
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
611
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
612
in the appropriate sections.
613
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
615
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
616
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
619
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
620
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
622
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
623
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
625
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
626
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
628
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
629
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
630
work better with how it splits its requests.
631
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
633
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
634
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
635
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
637
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
640
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
642
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
643
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
645
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
650
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
651
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
652
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
657
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
658
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
659
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
660
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
662
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
663
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
665
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
666
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
667
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
668
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
670
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
671
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
672
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
673
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
677
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
678
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
679
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
681
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
682
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
683
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
684
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
686
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
687
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
688
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
693
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
694
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
697
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
698
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
699
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
702
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
703
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
704
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
705
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
707
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
708
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
709
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
711
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
712
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
713
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
714
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
716
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
717
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
718
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
719
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
722
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
723
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
725
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
726
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
727
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
729
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
730
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
731
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
732
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
734
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
735
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
736
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
739
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
740
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
741
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
742
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
743
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
744
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
745
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
747
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
748
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)
755
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
756
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
757
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
758
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
761
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
765
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
766
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
767
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
768
(Martin Pool, #303856)
770
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
771
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
772
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
773
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
774
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)
777
bzr 1.10rc1 2008-11-28
778
----------------------
780
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
781
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
782
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
783
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
784
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
788
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
789
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
791
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
796
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
797
history just to set the last revision info.
798
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
800
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
801
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
802
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
803
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
805
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
806
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
807
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
808
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
811
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
812
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
814
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
815
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
816
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
817
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
818
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
820
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
821
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
822
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
823
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
827
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
828
(Martin Pool, #289148)
830
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
831
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
833
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
834
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
835
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
836
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
838
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
839
starting with a dotted revno.
840
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
842
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
843
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
844
(Martin Pool, #288751)
846
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
847
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
848
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
850
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
851
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
852
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
854
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
855
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
856
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
857
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
859
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
860
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
861
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
863
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
864
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
868
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
869
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
870
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
871
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
873
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
874
have changed incompatibly.
876
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
877
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
878
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
879
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
880
don't need to change.
882
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
883
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
887
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
888
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
890
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
896
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
897
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
898
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
899
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
900
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
901
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
905
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
906
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
908
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
910
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
911
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.
912
(John Arbash Meinel, #293746)
915
bzr 1.9rc1 2008-10-31
916
---------------------
920
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
921
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
923
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
924
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
925
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
926
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
930
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
931
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
932
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
933
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
934
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
935
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
937
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
938
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
940
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
941
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
942
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
944
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
945
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
946
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
949
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
950
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
952
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
953
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
955
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
956
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
958
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
959
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
960
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
961
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
962
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
963
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
964
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
965
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
966
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
967
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
971
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
972
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
974
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
975
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
977
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
978
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
979
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
981
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
982
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
983
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
985
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
986
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
987
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
989
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
990
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
991
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
992
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
993
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
994
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
996
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
997
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
999
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
1000
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
1002
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
1003
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
1004
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
1005
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
1006
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
1008
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
1009
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
1010
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
1011
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
1015
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
1019
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
1023
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
1024
configuration of authetication credentials.
1030
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
1031
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
1032
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
1033
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
1034
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
1038
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
1039
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
1043
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
1044
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
1047
bzr 1.8rc1 2008-10-07
1048
---------------------
1052
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
1053
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
1054
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
1055
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
1056
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
1058
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
1059
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
1061
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
1062
server. (Marius Kruger)
1064
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
1065
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
1066
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
1067
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
1068
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
1069
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
1073
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
1074
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
1075
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
1077
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
1081
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
1082
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
1083
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
1084
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
1086
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
1087
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
1090
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
1091
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
1094
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
1097
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
1099
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
1100
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
1102
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
1103
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
1105
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
1106
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
1107
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
1108
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
1109
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
1110
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
1111
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
1112
operations. (Robert Collins)
1114
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
1116
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
1117
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
1118
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
1122
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
1123
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
1124
(Martin Pool, #279381)
1126
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
1127
repository now preserves the repository format.
1128
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
1130
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
1131
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
1133
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
1134
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
1136
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
1138
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
1140
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
1143
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
1144
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
1145
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
1147
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
1148
is in a different repository than the current one.
1149
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
1151
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
1152
(David Futcher, #242106)
1154
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
1155
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1157
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
1158
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
1159
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
1160
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
1162
* Trivial documentation fix.
1163
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
1165
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
1166
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
1167
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
1168
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
1172
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
1176
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
1177
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
1178
to use. (Robert Collins)
1180
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
1181
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
1182
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
1184
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
1185
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
1186
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
1187
they want. (Robert Collins)
1191
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
1192
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
1193
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
1195
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
1196
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
1199
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
1202
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
1203
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
1205
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
1210
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
1211
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
1213
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
1214
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
1215
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
1217
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
1218
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
1219
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
1221
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
1222
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1224
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
1225
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
1227
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
1228
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
1230
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
1231
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
1232
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
1233
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept
1238
bzr 1.7.1 2008-10-01
1239
--------------------
1241
No changes from 1.7.1rc1.
1244
bzr 1.7.1rc1 2008-09-24
1245
-----------------------
1247
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
1248
file paths when we encounter complex history.
1252
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
1253
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
1254
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
1255
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.
1256
(John Arbash Meinel)
1262
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
1263
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
1264
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
1265
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
1266
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
1267
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.
1271
* Some small updates to the win32 installer. Include localization
1272
files found in plugins, and include the builtin distutils as part of
1273
packaging qbzr. (Mark Hammond)
1276
bzr 1.7rc2 2008-09-17
1277
---------------------
1279
A few bug fixes from 1.7rc1. The biggest change is a new
1280
``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
1281
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
1282
connect to the stacked-on location.
1286
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
1287
repository now preserves the repository format.
1288
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
1290
* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect
1291
to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
1293
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
1296
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
1300
bzr 1.7rc1 2008-09-09
1301
---------------------
1303
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
1304
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
1305
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
1306
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
1307
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
1308
it in a future repository format.
1313
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
1316
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
1317
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
1318
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
1320
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
1321
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
1322
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
1326
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
1327
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
1329
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
1333
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
1334
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
1337
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
1338
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
1340
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
1341
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
1344
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
1345
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
1346
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
1347
(John Arbash Meinel)
1349
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
1350
(Martin Pool, #261315)
1352
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
1353
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
1354
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
1355
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
1356
(John Arbash Meinel)
1358
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
1359
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
1360
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
1361
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
1362
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
1363
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
1364
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
1365
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
1366
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
1367
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1371
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
1372
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
1374
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
1375
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
1376
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
1378
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
1379
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
1380
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
1382
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
1383
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
1384
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
1385
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
1386
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
1387
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
1389
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
1390
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
1392
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
1393
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
1395
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
1396
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
1397
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
1398
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
1399
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
1400
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
1402
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
1403
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
1405
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
1406
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
1408
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
1409
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
1410
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
1411
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
1413
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
1414
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
1416
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
1417
assuming the host name is ascii.
1418
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
1420
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
1421
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
1425
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
1429
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
1431
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
1432
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
1433
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
1436
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
1437
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1439
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
1440
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
1442
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
1443
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
1447
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
1448
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
1449
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
1450
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
1452
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
1456
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
1457
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
1458
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1460
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
1465
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
1466
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
1469
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
1470
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
1471
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
1472
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
1473
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1475
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
1476
is unknown in both source and target.
1477
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
1479
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
1480
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
1481
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
1482
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1484
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
1485
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
1486
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
1487
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1490
bzr 1.6.1 2008-09-05
1491
--------------------
1493
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
1494
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
1495
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
1498
bzr 1.6.1rc2 2008-09-03
1499
-----------------------
1503
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
1504
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
1505
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
1506
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
1509
bzr 1.6.1rc1 2008-08-29
1510
-----------------------
1512
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
1513
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
1514
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
1515
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
1516
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
1517
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
1518
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
1519
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
1520
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
1521
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
1522
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
1523
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
1527
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
1528
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
1529
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
1530
start of the string (causing more copies).
1531
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
1532
especially for projects with large files.
1533
(John Arbash Meinel)
1535
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
1536
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
1537
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
1538
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
1539
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
1541
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
1542
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
1543
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
1544
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
1545
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.
1546
(John Arbash Meinel, #262333)
1552
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
1553
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
1554
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
1555
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
1556
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
1557
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
1558
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
1559
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
1560
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
1563
bzr 1.6rc5 2008-08-19
1564
---------------------
1568
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
1569
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
1570
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
1571
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
1572
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
1575
bzr 1.6rc4 2008-08-18
1576
---------------------
1580
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
1581
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
1582
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
1585
bzr 1.6rc3 2008-08-14
1586
---------------------
1590
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
1591
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
1596
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
1597
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
1598
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
1603
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
1604
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
1605
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
1607
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
1608
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
1609
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
1610
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
1611
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
1612
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
1613
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
1616
bzr 1.6rc2 2008-08-13
1617
---------------------
1619
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
1624
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
1625
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
1627
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
1628
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
1631
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
1632
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
1633
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
1634
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
1635
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
1637
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
1638
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1640
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
1641
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
1643
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
1644
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
1646
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
1647
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
1648
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
1649
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
1650
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
1651
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
1654
bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
1655
---------------------
1657
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
1658
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
1659
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
1660
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
1661
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
1665
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
1666
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
1667
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
1671
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
1672
check. (Daniel Watkins)
1674
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
1675
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
1677
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
1678
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
1679
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1681
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
1684
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
1685
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
1686
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
1687
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
1688
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
1689
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
1690
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1692
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
1693
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
1694
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
1698
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
1699
physical repository boundaries.
1700
(Martin Pool, #252428)
1702
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
1703
(Martin Pool, #206258)
1705
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
1706
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
1709
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
1712
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
1713
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
1714
that Python is running from.
1715
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
1717
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
1718
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
1719
(Robert Collins, #150438)
1721
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
1722
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
1724
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
1725
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
1726
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
1728
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
1729
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
1731
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
1732
(James Westby, #248448)
1736
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
1737
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
1738
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
1741
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
1742
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
1745
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
1746
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
1747
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
1748
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
1749
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
1750
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
1753
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
1754
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1756
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
1757
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
1758
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
1759
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
1760
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
1761
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
1765
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
1766
putting together a real history without having to create a full
1767
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
1768
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
1769
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
1770
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1772
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
1773
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
1774
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
1776
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
1779
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
1780
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
1782
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
1786
bzr 1.6beta3 2008-07-17
1787
-----------------------
1789
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
1790
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
1791
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
1792
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
1797
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
1798
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
1799
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
1801
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
1802
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
1803
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
1804
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
1805
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
1808
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
1810
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
1811
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
1812
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
1817
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
1818
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
1821
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
1822
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
1823
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
1824
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
1826
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
1827
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
1828
(Christophe Troestler)
1830
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
1831
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
1833
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
1834
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
1835
faster. The new request method name is
1836
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1840
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
1841
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
1842
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
1843
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
1844
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
1846
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
1847
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
1849
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
1850
requires a branch to be present.
1851
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
1853
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
1855
(Martin Pool, #205230)
1857
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
1858
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
1859
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
1860
(Martin Pool, #240161)
1862
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
1863
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
1865
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
1867
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
1869
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
1870
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
1871
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
1872
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
1873
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
1875
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
1876
(Martin Pool, #172870)
1878
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
1879
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
1881
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
1883
(Matt McClure, #209281)
1885
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
1886
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
1888
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
1889
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
1893
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
1896
* Updated developer documentation.
1901
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
1902
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
1904
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
1905
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
1906
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
1907
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
1911
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
1912
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
1913
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
1914
Repository docstring for more details.
1917
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
1918
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
1919
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
1921
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
1922
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
1925
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
1926
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
1927
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
1928
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
1932
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
1933
(Alexander Belchenko)
1935
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
1936
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
1937
containing a given location.
1940
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
1941
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
1942
storage. (Robert Collins)
1944
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
1947
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
1948
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
1952
bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
1953
-----------------------
1955
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
1956
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
1957
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
1962
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
1963
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
1964
reading from the repository.)
1965
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
1967
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
1968
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1970
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
1971
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
1974
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
1975
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
1976
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
1978
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
1979
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
1980
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
1982
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
1983
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
1985
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
1986
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
1987
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
1988
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
1992
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
1994
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
1995
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
1996
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
1999
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
2000
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
2004
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2008
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
2009
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
2013
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
2014
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
2015
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
2016
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
2017
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
2019
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
2020
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
2024
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
2025
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
2027
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
2028
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
2031
bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
2032
-----------------------
2035
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
2036
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
2037
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
2038
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
2039
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
2040
and future extensions.
2043
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2045
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
2046
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
2047
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
2048
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
2049
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
2050
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
2051
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
2052
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
2056
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
2057
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
2058
(John Arbash Meinel)
2062
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
2063
load. (James Westby)
2067
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
2068
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
2069
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
2070
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2072
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
2073
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
2074
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
2076
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
2077
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
2079
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
2080
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
2081
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
2083
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
2084
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
2085
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
2086
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
2087
step closer to not using full revision history.
2088
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
2092
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
2093
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
2095
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
2096
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
2098
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
2099
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
2101
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
2102
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
2103
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
2104
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
2106
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
2107
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
2108
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
2109
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
2111
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
2112
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
2113
in use by another process.
2116
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
2117
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
2118
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
2119
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
2121
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
2122
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
2124
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
2125
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
2126
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
2128
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
2129
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
2130
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
2132
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
2134
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
2136
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
2137
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
2139
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
2140
under vim on Mac OS X.
2141
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2143
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
2144
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
2148
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
2149
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
2151
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
2152
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
2155
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
2156
and about use of Python reprs.
2157
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
2159
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
2163
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
2166
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
2167
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
2169
* New helper function for splitting test suites
2170
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
2174
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
2175
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
2176
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
2177
(John Arbash Meinel)
2181
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
2182
instead. (Martin Pool)
2184
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
2185
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
2186
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
2187
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
2189
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
2190
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
2191
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
2192
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
2193
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
2195
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
2196
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
2197
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
2198
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
2199
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
2200
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
2202
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
2203
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
2206
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
2207
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
2210
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
2211
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
2212
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
2213
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
2215
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
2216
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
2217
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
2219
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
2220
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
2221
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
2222
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
2223
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
2226
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
2227
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
2228
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
2229
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
2232
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
2233
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
2234
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
2235
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
2236
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
2238
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
2245
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
2246
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
2247
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
2251
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
2252
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
2253
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
2257
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
2258
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
2262
bzr 1.5rc1 2008-05-09
2263
---------------------
2265
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2269
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
2270
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
2271
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
2272
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
2278
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
2279
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
2281
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
2282
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
2284
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
2289
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
2290
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
2292
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
2293
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
2295
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
2296
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
2297
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
2299
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
2300
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
2301
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
2303
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
2306
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
2307
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
2309
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
2310
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
2312
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
2313
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
2315
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
2316
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
2318
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
2319
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
2320
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
2322
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
2323
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
2325
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
2326
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
2328
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
2329
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
2330
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
2331
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
2333
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
2334
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
2337
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
2338
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
2339
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
2341
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
2342
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
2343
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
2344
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
2345
every revision each side had in common.
2346
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2348
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
2349
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
2351
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
2352
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
2353
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
2354
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
2358
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
2359
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
2360
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
2361
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
2363
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
2365
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
2367
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
2368
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
2372
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
2373
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
2374
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
2376
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
2377
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
2378
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
2379
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
2381
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
2382
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2384
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
2385
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
2386
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
2387
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2389
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
2390
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
2391
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
2392
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2396
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
2397
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
2398
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
2400
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
2402
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
2403
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
2405
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
2406
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2408
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
2409
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
2413
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
2414
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
2415
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
2417
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
2418
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
2419
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
2422
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
2423
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
2426
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.
2433
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
2434
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
2435
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
2436
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
2437
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
2438
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
2439
and faster performance.
2443
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
2444
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
2445
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

(John Arbash Meinel, Andrew Bennetts, #214894)
2449
bzr 1.4rc2 2008-04-21
2450
---------------------
2454
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
2455
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
2456
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
2458
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
2459
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
2461
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
2462
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
2464
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
2465
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
2466
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
2467
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
2468
every revision each side had in common.
2469
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2472
bzr 1.4rc1 2008-04-11
2473
---------------------
2477
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
2479
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
2480
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
2482
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
2483
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
2484
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
2486
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
2487
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
2488
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
2489
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
2490
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
2491
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
2494
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
2495
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
2496
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
2497
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
2501
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
2503
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
2504
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
2505
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
2507
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
2508
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
2509
See the User Reference for signature details.
2510
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
2512
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
2513
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
2517
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
2518
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
2519
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
2520
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2522
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
2523
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
2525
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
2526
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
2527
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
2530
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
2533
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
2534
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
2535
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
2537
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
2540
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
2541
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
2543
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
2544
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
2546
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
2547
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
2548
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
2550
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
2551
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
2552
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
2553
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
2554
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
2556
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
2557
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
2559
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
2560
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2564
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
2565
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
2566
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
2567
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
2568
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
2569
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
2571
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
2572
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
2574
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
2575
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
2576
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
2578
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
2579
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
2581
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
2582
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
2583
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
2584
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2586
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
2587
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
2588
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
2589
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
2590
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
2592
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
2594
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
2595
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
2597
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
2599
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
2600
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
2602
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
2603
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
2607
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
2609
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
2611
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2613
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
2617
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
2618
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
2619
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
2621
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
2622
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
2623
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
2624
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
2626
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
2627
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
2628
release. (James Westby)
2630
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
2633
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
2635
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
2636
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
2638
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
2639
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
2641
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
2642
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
2644
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
2645
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
2646
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
2648
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
2649
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
2650
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
2651
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
2653
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
2654
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
2655
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
2656
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
2658
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
2659
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
2660
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
2661
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
2662
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
2663
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
2665
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
2666
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
2667
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
2669
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
2670
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
2672
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
2673
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
2676
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
2677
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
2679
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
2680
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
2682
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
2683
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
2685
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
2686
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
2687
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
2689
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
2690
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
2691
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
2692
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
2693
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
2694
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
2698
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
2699
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
2700
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
2701
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
2703
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
2704
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
2705
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
2706
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
2710
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
2711
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
2714
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
2715
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
2717
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
2719
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
2720
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
2721
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
2725
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2727
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
2730
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
2731
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
2732
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
2733
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
2734
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
2735
(Martin Pool, #109520)
2737
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
2738
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
2740
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
2741
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
2742
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
2743
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
2745
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
2746
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
2748
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
2749
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2772
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
2774
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
2775
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
2776
features have been added.

bzr 1.3rc1 2008-03-16
2786
---------------------
2788
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2790
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
2791
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
2795
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
2796
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
2797
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
2798
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
2801
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
2802
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
2803
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
2804
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
2805
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
2806
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
2808
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
2809
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
2810
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
2811
(Alexander Belchenko)
2813
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2815
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
2816
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
2820
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
2821
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
2823
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
2824
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
2829
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
2831
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2833
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
2834
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
2835
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
2837
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
2838
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
2840
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
2841
to. (Daniel Watkins)
2843
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
2844
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
2845
(Alexander Belchenko)
2847
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
2848
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
2849
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
2850
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
2852
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
2855
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
2856
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
2857
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
2858
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
2859
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2863
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
2864
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
2865
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
2866
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
2868
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
2869
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
2871
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
2872
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
2874
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
2875
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
2876
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
2878
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
2879
(#198793, John Ferlito)
2881
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
2884
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
2885
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
2887
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
2889
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
2891
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
2892
symlinks (James Henstridge)
2894
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
2895
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
2897
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
2898
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
2900
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
2901
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
2903
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
2904
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
2906
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
2907
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
2911
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
2912
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2916
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
2917
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
2918
(Alexander Belchenko)
2922
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
2924
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
2925
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
2930
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
2931
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
2932
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
2934
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
2935
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
2936
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
2937
(Alexander Belchenko)
2939
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
2940
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
2941
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
2942
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
2944
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
2945
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
2946
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
2949
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
2950
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
2951
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
2953
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
2954
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
2955
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
2957
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
2958
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
2959
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
2960
format. (Robert Collins)
2968
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
2971
bzr 1.2rc1 2008-02-13
2972
---------------------
2974
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2976
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
2977
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
2978
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
2979
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
2980
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
2985
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
2986
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
2988
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
2989
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
2990
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
2992
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
2993
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
2994
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
2995
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
2996
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
2997
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
3002
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
3003
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3005
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
3006
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
3007
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
3010
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
3011
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
3012
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
3013
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
3014
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
3016
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
3017
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
3018
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
3019
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
3020
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
3021
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
3022
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
3023
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
3027
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
3028
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
3030
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
3031
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
3033
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
3034
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3036
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
3037
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
3038
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
3040
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
3041
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
3042
(John Arbash Meinel)
3046
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
3047
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
3049
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
3050
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
3052
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
3053
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
3055
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
3056
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
3057
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
3059
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
3060
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
3061
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
3063
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
3064
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
3066
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
3067
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
3068
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
3069
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
3070
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
3072
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
3074
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
3075
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
3078
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
3079
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
3081
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
3082
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
3084
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
3085
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
3087
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
3088
more characters which should be considered valid.
3089
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
3091
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
3092
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
3094
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
3095
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
3099
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
3100
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
3102
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
3103
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
3108
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
3109
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
3114
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
3115
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
3116
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
3118
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
3119
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
3120
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
3122
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
3123
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
3124
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
3125
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
3127
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
3129
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
3130
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
3131
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
3132
server. (Robert Collins)
3134
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
3135
operate. (Robert Collins)
3137
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
3138
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
3139
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
3141
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
3142
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
3143
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
3144
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
3146
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
3147
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
3149
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
3150
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
3151
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
3153
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
3154
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
3156
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
3157
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
3159
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
3160
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
3161
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
3162
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)
3168
(no changes from 1.1rc1)
3170
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
3171
---------------------
3175
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
3176
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
3177
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
3178
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
3180
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
3181
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
3182
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
3183
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
3187
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
3190
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
3193
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
3194
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
3198
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
3201
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
3202
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
3203
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
3205
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
3207
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
3208
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
3209
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
3210
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
3211
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
3213
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
3214
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
3215
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
3217
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
3218
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
3220
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
3223
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
3225
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
3227
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
3230
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
3231
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
3235
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
3236
(Martin Pool, #180208)
3238
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
3239
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
3241
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
3244
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
3245
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
3247
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
3248
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
3250
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
3251
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3253
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
3254
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
3256
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
3257
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
3258
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
3260
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
3261
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
3263
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
3264
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
3267
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
3269
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
3270
user:pass embedded in the urls.
3271
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
3273
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
3274
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
3276
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
3279
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
3282
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
3283
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
3285
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
3288
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
3289
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
3292
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
3293
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
3294
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
3298
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
3301
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
3302
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
3303
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
3304
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
3305
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
3306
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
3308
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
3312
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
3315
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
3316
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
3318
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
3320
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
3321
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
3322
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
3325
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
3326
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3328
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
3335
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
3336
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
3337
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
3339
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
3340
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
3343
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
3344
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
3346
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
3347
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
3349
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
3350
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
3352
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
3353
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
3354
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
3356
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
3357
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
3359
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
3360
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
3362
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
3363
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
3366
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
3367
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
3369
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
3370
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
3378
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
3380
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
3383
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
3385
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
3386
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
3390
bzr 1.0rc3 2007-12-11
3391
---------------------
3395
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
3396
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
3397
by mail to the mailing list.
3402
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
3404
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
3405
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
3406
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
3407
feedback but also incur more latency.
3408
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
3410
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
3411
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
3415
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
3417
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
3422
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
3423
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
3424
wraps its output in a StringIO.
3428
bzr 1.0rc2 2007-12-07
3429
---------------------
3433
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
3435
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
3438
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
3441
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
3442
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
3443
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
3444
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3446
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
3449
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
3450
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
3452
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
3453
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
3454
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
3456
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
3457
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
3458
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
3459
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
3460
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
3461
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
3462
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
3463
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
3464
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
3468
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
3471
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
3475
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
3476
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
3478
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
3480
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
3482
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
3483
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
3485
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
3487
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
3488
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
3490
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
3491
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
3495
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
3496
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)

bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
3500
---------------------
3502
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3504
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
3505
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
3506
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
3507
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
3509
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
3510
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
3512
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
3513
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
3515
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
3516
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
3517
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
3518
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
3519
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
3520
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
3521
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
3522
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
3523
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
3524
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
3525
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
3526
from any tree without problems.
3527
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
3531
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
3532
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
3533
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
3535
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
3536
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
3537
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
3542
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
3543
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
3544
supported transports.
3547
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
3548
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
3549
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
3551
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
3552
(Robert Collins, #154173)
3554
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
3555
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
3556
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
3557
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
3559
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
3560
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
3564
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
3565
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
3566
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
3567
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3569
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
3570
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
3571
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
3572
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
3574
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
3575
(Robert Collins, #88319)
3577
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
3578
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
3580
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
3581
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
3583
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
3584
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
3589
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
3592
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
3593
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
3596
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
3597
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
3598
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
3599
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
3601
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
3602
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
3603
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
3604
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
3610
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
3611
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
3613
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
3614
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
3616
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
3617
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
3619
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
3620
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
3622
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
3623
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
3625
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
3626
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
3628
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
3629
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
3631
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
3634
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
3635
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
3637
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
3638
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
3639
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
3641
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
3642
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
3644
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
3645
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
3647
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
3648
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
3650
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
3651
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
3653
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
3654
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
3655
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
3656
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
3658
(Martin Pool, #164637)
3660
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
3661
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
3662
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
3664
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
3665
(Robert Collins, #161240)
3667
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
3669
(Martin Pool, #164443)
3671
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
3672
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
3674
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
3675
specify a port in urls.
3676
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
3678
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
3679
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
3681
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
3682
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
3684
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
3685
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
3687
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
3688
(Robert Collins, #153789)
3690
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
3691
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
3692
(Robert Collins, #165304).
3694
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
3696
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
3697
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
3699
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
3702
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
3703
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
3705
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
3706
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
3708
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
3709
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
3710
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
3712
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
3713
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
3715
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
3716
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
3717
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
3718
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
3720
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
3721
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
3723
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
3724
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
3725
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
3727
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
3728
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
3730
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
3731
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
3733
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
3734
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
3738
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
3739
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
3741
* The return value of
3742
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
3743
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
3744
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
3745
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
3747
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
3750
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
3751
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
3757
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
3758
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
3759
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
3762
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
3763
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
3765
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
3775
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
3778
bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29
3779
----------------------
3781
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3785
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
3786
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
3788
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
3789
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
3790
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
3791
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
3792
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
3793
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
3794
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
3795
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
3796
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
3797
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
3798
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
3799
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
3804
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
3805
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
3806
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
3807
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
3808
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
3809
for further details. (Robert Collins)
3811
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
3812
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
3813
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
3816
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
3818
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
3819
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
3821
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
3822
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
3825
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
3826
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
3827
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
3831
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
3832
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
3834
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
3835
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
3837
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
3838
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
3839
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
3840
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
3842
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
3845
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
3846
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
3847
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
3848
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
3850
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
3851
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
3853
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
3854
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
3856
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
3857
the contents. (Robert Collins)
3859
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
3860
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
3864
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
3865
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
3867
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
3868
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
3870
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
3871
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
3873
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
3874
(Martin Pool, #63894)
3876
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
3877
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
3881
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
3883
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
3888
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
3889
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
3890
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
3892
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
3893
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
3895
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
3896
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
3898
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
3899
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
3900
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
3901
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
3903
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
3904
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
3905
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
3906
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
3907
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
3909
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
3910
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
3912
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
3914
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3916
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
3917
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
3919
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
3920
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
3922
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
3923
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
3925
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
3926
contains a symbolic link.
3927
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
3929
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
3930
(James Westby, #140615)
3932
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
3933
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
3934
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
3936
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
3937
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
3938
(Martin Pool, #144633)
3940
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3942
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
3943
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
3945
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
3947
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
3949
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
3950
directory to detect leaking tests.
3951
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
3953
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
3954
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
3955
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
3957
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
3960
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
3961
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
3963
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
3968
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
3969
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
3971
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
3972
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
3973
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
3975
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
3976
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
3977
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
3979
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
3980
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
3982
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
3983
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
3985
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
3986
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
3989
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
3990
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
3992
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
3993
class that needs it.
3996
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
3997
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
3999
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
4000
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
4001
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
4003
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
4004
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
4005
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
4008
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
4009
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
4010
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
4011
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
4016
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
4017
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
4018
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
4020
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
4021
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
4022
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
4023
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
4025
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
4026
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
4029
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
4030
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
4031
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
4033
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
4034
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
4035
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
4037
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
4038
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
4040
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
4041
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
4042
to complete. (Robert Collins)
4044
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
4045
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
4047
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
4048
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
4049
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
4051
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
4052
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
4053
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
4055
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
4056
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
4057
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
4058
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
4060
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
4061
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
4062
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
4063
returned. (Robert Collins)
4065
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
4066
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
4068
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
4069
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
4070
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
4071
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
4074
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
4075
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
4079
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
4080
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
4082
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
4083
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
4084
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
4085
makes this behavior available to other users.
4088
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
4089
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
4097
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
4098
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
4099
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
4101
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
4103
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
4104
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
4105
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
4106
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
4108
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
4109
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
4113
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
4114
----------------------
4116
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
4117
in bzrlib/remote.py.
4120
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
4121
----------------------
4125
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
4126
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
4127
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
4128
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
4131
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
4132
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
4133
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
4138
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
4139
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
4140
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
4143
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
4144
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
4145
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
4147
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
4148
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
4149
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
4151
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
4152
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
4154
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
4155
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
4156
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
4157
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
4158
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
4159
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
4160
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
4161
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
4162
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
4163
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
4165
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
4166
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
4168
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
4169
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
4170
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
4174
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
4175
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
4177
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
4178
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
4179
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
4181
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
4182
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
4184
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
4185
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
4187
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
4190
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
4191
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
4193
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
4194
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
4196
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
4197
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4199
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
4200
(Blake Winton, #129299)
4202
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
4204
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
4207
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
4208
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
4209
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
4210
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
4212
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4214
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
4215
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
4218
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
4219
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
4221
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
4222
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
4225
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
4226
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
4228
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
4229
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
4231
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
4232
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
4233
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
4234
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
4235
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
4236
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
4237
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
4239
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
4240
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
4242
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
4243
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
4245
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
4246
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
4248
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
4249
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
4251
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
4253
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
4255
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
4256
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
4258
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
4259
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
4260
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
4262
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
4263
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
4264
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
4268
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
4269
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4271
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
4274
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
4277
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
4278
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
4280
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
4282
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
4283
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
4285
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
4286
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
4288
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
4289
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
4290
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
4291
space). (Robert Collins)
4293
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
4294
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
4297
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
4298
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4300
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
4301
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
4303
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
4304
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
4305
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
4306
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
4308
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
4309
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
4310
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
4313
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
4316
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
4317
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
4318
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
4320
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
4321
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
4322
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
4323
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
4324
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
4328
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
4329
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
4331
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
4332
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
4333
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
4334
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
4335
affected. (Robert Collins)
4337
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
4338
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
4339
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
4342
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
4343
previous release. (Martin Pool)
4347
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
4348
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
4350
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
4351
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4353
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
4354
previous release. (Martin Pool)
4356
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
4359
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
4360
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4364
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
4365
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
4366
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
4367
its version information. (Robert Collins)
4369
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
4370
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4372
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
4373
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
4374
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
4375
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4377
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
4378
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
4379
present. (Robert Collins)
4381
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
4382
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
4383
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
4384
API. (Robert Collins)
4386
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
4387
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
4390
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
4391
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
4393
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
4394
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
4395
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
4396
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
4397
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
4398
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
4400
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
4401
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
4402
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
4404
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
4405
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
4406
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
4407
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
4410
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
4413
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
4414
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
4415
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
4416
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
4417
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
4418
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
4419
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
4421
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
4422
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
4423
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
4424
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
4426
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
4427
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
4428
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
4429
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
4430
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
4431
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
4433
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
4434
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
4435
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
4437
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
4438
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
4446
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
4447
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
4448
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
4449
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
4450
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
4451
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
4452
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
4453
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
4458
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
4459
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
4460
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
4463
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
4464
----------------------
4468
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
4469
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
4470
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
4471
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
4472
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
4474
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
4475
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
4477
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
4479
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
4481
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
4482
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
4485
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
4486
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
4489
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
4492
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
4493
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
4495
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
4496
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
4498
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
4499
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
4501
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
4502
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
4504
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
4505
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
4507
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
4512
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
4513
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
4515
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
4516
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
4518
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
4519
the repository (Robert Collins)
4521
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
4522
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
4523
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
4524
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
4525
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
4527
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
4528
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
4530
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
4531
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
4532
(John Arbash Meinel)
4534
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
4535
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
4536
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
4538
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
4539
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
4540
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
4541
(John Arbash Meinel)
4543
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
4544
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
4547
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
4548
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
4550
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
4553
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
4555
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
4557
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
4558
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
4560
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
4561
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
4564
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
4565
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
4566
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
4567
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
4569
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
4570
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
4571
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
4573
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
4574
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
4575
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
4577
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
4578
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
4580
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
4581
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
4582
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
4583
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
4584
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
4585
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
4588
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
4589
(Alexander Belchenko)
4591
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
4592
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
4594
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
4595
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
4597
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
4599
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
4600
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
4604
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
4605
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
4606
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
4607
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
4609
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
4611
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
4614
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
4615
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
4616
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
4617
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
4618
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
4619
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
4623
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
4624
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
4625
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
4626
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
4628
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
4629
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
4630
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
4631
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
4632
tests have been refactored too.
4635
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
4636
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
4637
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
4641
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
4642
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
4643
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
4645
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
4646
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
4647
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
4648
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
4649
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
4650
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
4651
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
4653
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
4654
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
4655
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
4656
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
4657
(John Arbash Meinel)
4659
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
4660
functionality for testing.
4662
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
4664
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
4665
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4667
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
4669
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
4672
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
4673
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
4675
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
4676
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
4677
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
4679
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
4682
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
4683
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
4685
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
4686
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
4687
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
4688
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
4690
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
4691
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
4693
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
4694
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
4695
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
4697
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
4700
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
4701
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
4702
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
4703
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
4704
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
4705
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
4707
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
4708
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
4709
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
4710
many files. (Robert Collins)
4712
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
4713
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
4714
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
4715
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
4719
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
4720
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
4721
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
4723
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
4724
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
4726
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
4727
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
4728
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
4732
--------------------
4736
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
4739
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
4740
-----------------------
4744
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
4745
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
4747
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
4748
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
4749
(James Westby, #122656)
4751
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
4752
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
4754
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
4755
authentication header.
4756
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
4758
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
4760
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
4761
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
4763
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
4765
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
4766
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
4768
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
4769
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
4770
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
4772
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
4773
individually and as part of revision ranges.
4774
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
4776
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
4777
(Martin Pool, #109169)
4779
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
4780
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
4782
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
4783
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
4785
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
4787
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
4791
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
4792
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
4793
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
4794
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
4795
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
4796
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
4798
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
4799
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
4800
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
4802
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
4805
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
4806
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
4808
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
4809
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
4811
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
4812
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
4814
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
4815
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
4816
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
4817
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
4818
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
4820
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
4821
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
4823
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
4824
can be slow it is useful feedback).
4825
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
4827
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
4828
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
4830
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
4832
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
4833
output. (Aaron Bentley)
4835
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
4836
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
4839
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
4842
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
4843
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
4845
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
4846
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
4848
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
4849
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
4851
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
4853
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
4854
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
4856
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
4861
* Testing cleanups -
4862
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
4863
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
4864
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
4865
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
4866
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4867
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
4868
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4869
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
4870
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4871
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
4872
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
4873
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
4874
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4875
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
4876
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4877
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
4878
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
4881
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
4883
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
4884
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
4885
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
4887
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
4888
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
4890
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
4891
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4893
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
4895
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
4896
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
4897
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
4898
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
4899
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
4900
same location. (Robert Collins)
4904
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
4906
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
4908
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
4910
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
4913
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
4916
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
4917
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
4918
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
4920
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
4922
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
4923
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
4924
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
4926
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
4927
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
4929
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
4930
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
4931
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
4933
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
4934
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
4935
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
4937
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
4938
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
4939
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
4941
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
4942
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
4945
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
4946
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
4948
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
4949
(Alexander Belchenko)
4953
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
4954
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
4955
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
4956
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4958
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
4959
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
4960
testing. (Robert Collins)
4962
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
4963
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
4965
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
4966
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
4967
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
4968
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
4969
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
4970
attribute during the test parameterisation in
4971
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
4973
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
4974
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
4975
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
4976
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
4978
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
4979
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
4981
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
4982
avoid useless cloning.
4983
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
4987
--------------------
4991
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
4992
(Colin Watson, #120647)
4994
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
4995

-----------------------
5001
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5003
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
5004
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
5005
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
5006
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
5007
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
5008
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
5009
and unlock() like so::
5011
work_tree.lock_read()
5013
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
5018
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
5019
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
5021
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
5022
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
5023
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
5025
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
5026
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
5027
too. (Robert Collins)
5031
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
5032
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
5035
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
5036
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
5038
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
5039
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
5041
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
5042
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
5043
understanding what changes have occurred
5044
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
5046
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
5047
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
5048
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
5050
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
5051
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
5052
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
5053
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
5055
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
5060
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
5061
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
5062
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
5063
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
5064
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
5066
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
5067
based on split paths, not just string paths.
5068
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
5070
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
5071
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
5073
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
5075
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
5077
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
5078
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
5080
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
5081
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
5083
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
5084
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
5086
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
5087
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
5089
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
5090
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
5092
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
5093
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
5094
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
5097
--------------------
5101
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
5102
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
5103
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
5104
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
5105
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
5107
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
5108
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
5109
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
5111
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
5112
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
5116
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
5117
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
5118
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
5120
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
5121
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
5122
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
5123
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
5125
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
5126
-----------------------
5130
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
5131
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
5132
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
5133
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
5135
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
5136
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
5137
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
5139
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
5140
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
5142
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
5143
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
5145
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
5146
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
5148
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
5149
-----------------------
5151
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5153
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
5154
it could be recovered again.
5155
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
5156
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
5157
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
5159
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
5161
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
5162
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
5166
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
5167
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
5169
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
5170
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
5171
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
5172
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
5174
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
5175
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
5177
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
5178
tests with names that match that regular expression.
5179
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
5181
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
5182
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
5183
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
5185
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
5186
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
5187
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
5189
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
5190
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
5193
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
5196
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
5197
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
5198
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
5199
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
5201
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
5204
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
5205
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
5206
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
5209
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
5210
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
5212
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
5213
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
5215
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
5216
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
5217
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
5218
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
5221
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
5222
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
5224
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
5225
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
5227
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
5228
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
5229
(Robert Collins, #107125).
5231
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
5232
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
5233
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
5235
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
5236
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
5237
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5239
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
5240
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
5241
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
5242
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
5244
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
5245
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
5246
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
5247
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
5249
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
5250
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
5251
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
5252
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
5253
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
5254
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
5255
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
5256
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
5262
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
5263
code paths. (Robert Collins)
5265
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
5266
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
5267
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
5268
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
5269
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5271
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
5272
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
5274
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
5275
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
5277
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
5278
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
5280
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
5281
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
5283
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
5284
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
5285
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
5288
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
5289
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
5290
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
5291
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
5292
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
5295
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
5296
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
5297
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
5299
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
5300
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
5303
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
5304
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
5305
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
5308
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
5309
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
5310
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
5311
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
5312
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
5314
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
5315
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
5316
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
5317
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5319
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
5320
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
5322
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
5323
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
5324
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
5325
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
5326
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
5327
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
5329
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
5330
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
5332
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
5333
help. (Robert Collins)
5335
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
5336
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
5338
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
5339
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
5340
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
5341
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
5342
(John Arbash Meinel)
5344
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
5345
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
5346
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
5347
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
5348
useful. (Robert Collins)
5350
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
5355
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
5356
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
5358
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
5359
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
5361
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
5362
properly and is no longer beneficial.
5363
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
5365
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
5368
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
5369
the file, and does it faster.
5370
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
5372
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
5373
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
5374
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
5376
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
5377
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
5378
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
5379
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
5381
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
5382
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
5383
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
5384
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
5386
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
5387
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
5389
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
5390
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
5391
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
5392
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
5395
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
5397
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
5398
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
5400
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
5401
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
5403
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
5404
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
5405
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
5406
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
5410
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
5411
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
5415
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
5416
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
5417
in running it. (Robert Collins)
5419
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
5420
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
5422
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
5423
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
5424
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
5425
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
5426
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
5427
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
5428
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
5429
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5431
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
5432
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
5433
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5435
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
5436
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
5437
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
5438
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
5439
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
5441
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5443
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
5444
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
5445
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
5447
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
5448
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
5456
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
5459
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
5460
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
5463
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
5464
-----------------------
5468
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
5469
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
5474
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
5475
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
5476
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
5477
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
5478
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
5479
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
5480
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
5481
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
5486
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
5487
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
5488
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
5490
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
5491
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
5494
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
5495
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
5496
(John Arbash Meinel)
5498
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
5499
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
5500
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
5501
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
5502
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
5506
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
5509
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
5510
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
5512
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
5513
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
5515
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
5516
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
5517
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
5519
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
5520
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
5522
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
5523
last-changed-revision for directories. The
5524
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
5525
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
5526
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
5528
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
5529
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
5530
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
5532
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
5535
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
5536
-----------------------
5538
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5540
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
5541
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
5542
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
5546
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
5547
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
5549
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
5550
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
5552
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
5554
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
5555
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
5557
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
5558
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
5562
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
5567
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
5568
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
5569
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
5570
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
5572
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
5573
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
5575
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
5576
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
5578
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
5581
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
5582
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
5585
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
5586
-----------------------
5590
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
5591
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
5592
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
5593
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
5594
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
5595
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
5597
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
5598
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
5599
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
5600
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
5601
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
5602
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
5604
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
5606
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
5607
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
5608
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
5609
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
5610
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
5611
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
5612
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
5613
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
5617
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
5618
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
5620
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
5621
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
5622
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
5623
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
5625
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
5626
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
5627
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
5628
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
5629
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
5631
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
5634
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
5637
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
5640
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
5641
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
5644
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
5647
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
5648
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
5650
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
5651
directory. (Martin Pool)
5653
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
5654
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
5655
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
5656
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
5658
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
5659
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
5660
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
5661
in docs/configuration.txt.
5663
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
5664
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
5667
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
5668
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
5669
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
5670
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
5671
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
5672
repositories. (Martin Pool)
5674
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
5675
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
5677
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
5678
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
5680
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
5685
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
5686
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
5687
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
5688
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
5689
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
5690
(John Arbash Meinel)
5692
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
5693
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
5696
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
5697
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
5698
(John Arbash Meinel)
5700
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
5701
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
5702
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
5703
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
5704
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
5705
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
5707
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
5708
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
5709
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
5711
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
5712
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
5713
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
5714
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
5716
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5718
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
5719
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
5720
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
5721
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
5723
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
5724
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
5725
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
5726
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
5728
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
5729
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
5730
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
5732
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
5733
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
5734
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
5736
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
5737
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
5738
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
5739
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
5741
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
5742
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
5743
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
5745
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
5746
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
5747
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
5749
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
5750
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
5751
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
5752
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
5753
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
5754
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
5755
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
5756
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
5757
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
5758
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
5759
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
5763
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
5764
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
5765
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
5767
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
5770
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
5771
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
5772
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
5773
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
5775
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
5776
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
5779
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
5780
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
5782
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
5784
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
5785
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
5786
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
5788
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
5789
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
5791
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
5792
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
5794
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
5795
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
5797
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
5798
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
5800
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
5802
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
5803
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
5807
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
5808
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
5812
--------------------
5816
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
5820
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
5821
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
5822
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
5824
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
5825
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
5826
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
5829
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
5830
-----------------------
5834
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
5835
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
5836
server, then you can write over the http connection.
5837
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5839
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
5842
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
5843
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
5844
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
5846
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
5847
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
5849
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
5852
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
5853
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
5854
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
5855
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
5856
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
5857
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
5859
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
5860
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
5861
should enable you to do::
5863
[/home/user/project]
5864
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
5865
push_location:policy = appendpath
5867
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
5868
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
5871
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
5872
for each file. For example::
5874
$ bzr status --short
5880
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
5881
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
5883
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
5885
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
5886
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
5888
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
5892
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
5893
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
5894
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
5895
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
5897
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
5898
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
5899
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
5901
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5903
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
5904
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
5905
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
5906
(Alexander Belchenko)
5908
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
5911
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
5912
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
5914
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
5918
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
5919
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
5921
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
5922
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
5923
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
5924
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
5925
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
5927
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
5928
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
5930
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
5931
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
5933
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
5935
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
5937
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
5938
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
5939
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
5940
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
5941
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
5943
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
5944
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
5945
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
5946
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
5948
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
5949
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
5951
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
5952
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
5954
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
5955
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
5957
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
5958
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)

No changes from 0.13rc1
5966
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
5967
-----------------------
5971
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
5973
(Daniel Silverstone)
5975
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
5976
operations are substantially faster.
5977
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
5979
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
5980
tree from some other url. For example:
5981
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
5982
(Daniel Silverstone)
5984
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
5985
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
5986
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
5987
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
5989
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
5992
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
5993
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
5994
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
5995
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
5996
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
5997
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
6001
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
6002
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
6005
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
6006
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
6007
(John Arbash Meinel)
6009
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
6010
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
6011
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
6012
(John Arbash Meinel)
6014
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
6015
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
6017
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
6018
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
6020
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
6021
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
6026
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
6027
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
6028
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
6030
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
6031
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
6032
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
6033
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
6035
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
6037
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
6038
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
6040
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
6041
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
6042
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
6043
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
6045
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
6046
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
6047
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
6049
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
6050
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
6051
them as full references rather than integers.
6052
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
6054
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
6055
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
6057
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
6059
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
6060
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
6062
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
6063
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
6065
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
6066
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
6067
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
6068
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
6070
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
6071
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
6072
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
6074
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
6075
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
6077
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
6078
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
6079
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
6080
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
6081
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
6085
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
6086
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
6089
--------------------
6093
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
6094
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
6095
(John Arbash Meinel)
6097
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
6098
-----------------------
6102
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
6103
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
6104
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
6105
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
6107
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
6108
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
6110
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
6112
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
6113
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
6114
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
6115
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
6117
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
6118
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
6119
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
6120
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
6121
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
6123
API INCOMPATABILITY:
6125
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
6126
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
6130
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
6131
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
6132
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
6134
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
6135
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
6136
(John Arbash Meinel)
6138
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
6139
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
6140
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
6142
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
6143
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
6146
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
6147
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
6148
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6150
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
6151
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
6152
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
6153
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
6154
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
6155
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6157
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
6158
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
6159
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
6162
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
6163
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
6167
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
6168
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
6169
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
6172
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
6173
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
6175
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
6176
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
6177
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
6179
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
6180
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
6182
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
6183
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
6184
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
6185
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
6187
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
6188
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
6190
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
6191
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
6192
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
6194
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
6195
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
6197
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
6199
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
6200
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
6205
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
6206
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
6207
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
6208
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
6210
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
6211
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
6212
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6215
--------------------
6217
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
6219
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
6220
-----------------------
6224
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
6226
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
6229
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
6230
-----------------------
6234
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
6235
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
6236
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
6237
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
6238
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
6239
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
6240
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
6242
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
6243
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
6244
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
6246
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
6248
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
6249
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
6251
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
6252
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
6253
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
6256
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
6257
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
6258
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
6259
(John Arbash Meinel)
6261
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
6262
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
6263
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
6264
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
6267
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
6268
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
6269
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
6270
(John Arbash Meinel)
6274
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
6275
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
6277
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
6279
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
6280
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
6281
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
6283
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
6284
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
6286
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
6287
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
6289
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
6290
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
6292
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
6293
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
6295
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
6297
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
6298
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
6300
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
6301
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
6303
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
6304
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
6306
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
6307
(John Arbash Meinel)
6309
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
6310
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
6311
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
6313
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
6314
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
6316
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
6317
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
6318
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
6319
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
6321
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
6322
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
6323
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
6325
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
6326
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
6330
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
6334
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
6335
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
6336
(John Arbash Meinel)
6338
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
6339
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
6340
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
6341
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
6343
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
6346
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
6347
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
6348
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
6350
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
6351
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
6353
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
6354
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
6355
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
6357
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
6358
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
6359
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
6360
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
6361
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
6362
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
6363
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
6364
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
6365
caller to repeat their request.
6366
(John Arbash Meinel)
6368
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
6369
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
6371
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
6372
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
6374
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
6375
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
6376
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
6377
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
6378
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
6379
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
6380
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
6382
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
6383
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
6384
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
6385
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
6386
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
6387
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
6388
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
6389
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
6392
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
6393
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
6394
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
6396
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
6397
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
6399
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
6400
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
6402
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
6403
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
6407
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
6408
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
6410
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
6411
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
6412
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
6414
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
6415
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
6416
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
6419
--------------------
6422
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
6423
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
6425
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
6426
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
6427
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
6428
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
6429
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
6431
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
6432
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
6433
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
6435
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
6436
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
6438
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
6439
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
6440
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6444
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
6446
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
6447
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
6448
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
6450
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
6452
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
6454
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
6455
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
6456
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
6457
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
6459
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
6460
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
6461
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
6462
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
6463
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
6465
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
6466
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
6468
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
6469
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
6471
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
6472
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
6474
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
6475
in handling of revision properties.
6476
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
6478
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
6479
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
6483
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
6484
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
6485
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
6486
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
6487
(John Arbash Meinel)
6489
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
6490
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
6491
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
6493
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
6494
---------------------
6498
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
6499
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
6500
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
6501
specific one '.bzrignore'.
6502
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
6503
a more conservative list than the old default.
6504
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
6505
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
6506
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
6507
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
6509
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
6510
to more locations than just branch locations.
6515
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
6516
revno:N:branch. For example,
6517
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
6518
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
6520
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
6521
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
6522
the path of a file that has been versioned.
6523
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
6524
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
6525
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
6526
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
6527
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
6530
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
6531
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
6532
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
6535
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
6536
(Alexander Belchenko)
6538
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
6540
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
6543
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
6544
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
6545
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
6546
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
6547
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
6548
(John Arbash Meinel)
6550
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
6551
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
6552
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
6553
grained analysis of performance.
6554
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
6556
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
6557
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
6559
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
6560
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
6561
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
6562
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
6563
file. (Robert Collins).
6565
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
6566
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
6567
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
6569
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
6570
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
6573
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
6574
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
6576
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
6577
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
6578
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
6579
the same way you would apply another branch.
6580
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
6582
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
6583
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
6585
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
6588
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
6591
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
6592
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
6593
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
6595
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
6596
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
6597
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
6599
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
6600
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
6602
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
6603
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
6604
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
6605
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
6606
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
6608
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
6609
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
6611
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
6612
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
6613
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
6614
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
6615
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
6616
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
6617
branch is as much as 4x faster.
6618
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
6620
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
6621
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
6622
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
6626
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
6628
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
6630
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
6631
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6633
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
6634
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
6636
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
6637
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
6639
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
6641
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
6642
(John Arbash Meinel)
6644
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
6645
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
6647
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
6648
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
6651
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
6652
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
6654
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
6655
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
6657
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
6658
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
6659
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
6660
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
6662
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
6663
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
6665
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
6667
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
6668
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
6670
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
6672
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
6674
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
6675
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
6677
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
6678
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
6680
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
6681
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
6682
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
6684
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
6685
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
6686
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
6688
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
6689
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
6691
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
6692
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
6694
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
6695
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
6697
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
6698
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
6700
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
6701
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
6703
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
6704
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
6705
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
6707
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
6709
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
6710
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
6714
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
6715
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
6716
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
6718
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
6719
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
6721
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
6722
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
6723
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
6725
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
6726
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
6728
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
6729
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
6732
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
6733
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
6734
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6736
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
6737
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
6738
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6740
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
6741
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
6742
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
6744
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
6745
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
6746
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
6748
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
6749
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
6750
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
6752
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
6753
instead. (Robert Collins)
6755
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
6757
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
6758
---------------------
6762
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
6764
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
6765
---------------------
6769
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
6770
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
6772
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
6773
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6775
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
6776
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
6777
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
6781
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
6783
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
6784
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
6786
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
6790
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
6791
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
6792
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
6793
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
6797
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
6798
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
6799
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
6803
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
6804
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
6805
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6809
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
6810
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
6815
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
6817
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
6818
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
6819
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
6820
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
6821
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
6822
will keep the same format.
6824
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
6825
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
6826
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
6827
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
6828
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
6830
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
6831
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
6832
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
6833
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
6834
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
6835
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
6836
indicating the current revision of the branch.
6838
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
6839
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
6840
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
6841
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
6842
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
6844
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
6845
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
6846
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
6852
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
6853
convention. Paths now take the form::
6855
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
6857
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
6859
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
6860
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
6862
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
6863
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
6864
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
6866
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
6867
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
6868
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
6869
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
6871
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
6872
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
6873
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
6875
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
6877
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
6879
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
6880
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
6883
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
6884
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
6887
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
6889
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
6890
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
6891
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
6894
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
6896
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
6898
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
6901
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
6902
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
6904
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
6905
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
6908
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
6909
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
6912
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
6914
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
6916
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
6917
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
6919
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
6920
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
6921
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
6922
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
6923
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
6924
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
6926
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
6928
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
6929
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
6932
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
6933
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
6935
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
6936
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
6938
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
6940
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
6941
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
6942
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
6943
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
6944
specification by Martin Pool.
6945
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
6947
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
6950
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
6951
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
6953
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
6954
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
6955
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
6957
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
6959
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
6960
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
6965
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
6966
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6968
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
6970
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
6972
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
6975
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
6976
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
6977
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
6978
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
6982
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
6983
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
6984
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
6985
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6987
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
6988
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
6989
tried. (Martin Pool)
6991
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
6994
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
6996
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
6997
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
6998
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
7000
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
7001
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
7003
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
7004
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
7005
paths. (Robert Collins)
7007
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
7008
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
7009
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
7011
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
7012
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
7013
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
7015
* Progress bars are now nested - see
7016
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
7017
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
7019
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
7022
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
7025
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
7027
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
7029
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
7030
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
7031
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
7034
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
7035
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
7037
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
7038
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
7039
check. (Robert Collins)
7041
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
7042
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
7046
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
7047
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
7049
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
7050
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
7051
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
7052
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
7054
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
7055
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
7056
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
7057
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
7058
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
7060
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
7061
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
7062
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
7064
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
7066
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
7067
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
7074
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
7075
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
7077
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
7078
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
7079
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
7082
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
7083
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
7085
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
7086
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
7087
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
7088
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
7089
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
7091
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
7092
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
7093
used. (Robert Collins)
7095
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
7096
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
7099
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
7100
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
7101
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
7103
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
7106
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
7107
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
7111
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
7112
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
7114
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
7116
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
7118
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
7119
tree. (Robert Collins)
7121
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
7122
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
7123
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
7126
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
7129
* Tweaks to short log printing
7131
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
7134
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
7135
occurs. (Martin Pool)
7137
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
7138
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
7140
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
7141
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
7143
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
7144
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
7145
settings. (Magnus Therning)
7147
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
7148
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
7150
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
7151
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
7154
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
7155
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
7157
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
7158
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
7160
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
7161
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
7163
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
7166
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
7167
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
7169
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
7170
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
7172
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
7173
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
7174
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
7178
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
7180
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
7182
* Error when run with -OO
7184
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
7187
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
7189
* Change status to 3 for all errors
7191
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
7192
ignored by diff and status
7194
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
7195
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
7197
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
7199
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
7201
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
7202
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
7204
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
7205
email address. (Marien Zwart)
7207
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
7210
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
7211
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
7213
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
7215
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
7216
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
7218
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
7221
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
7222
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
7224
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
7228
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
7229
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
7231
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
7233
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
7235
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
7237
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
7238
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
7239
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
7241
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
7243
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
7244
(John Arbash Meinel)
7246
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
7248
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
7249
If adding a new test script please add that to
7250
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
7252
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
7253
imported. (Martin Pool)
7255
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
7256
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
7257
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
7258
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
7259
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
7262
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
7263
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
7264
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
7266
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
7267
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
7268
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
7270
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
7271
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
7272
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
7273
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
7274
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
7277
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
7278
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
7283
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
7284
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
7286
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
7287
function. (Robert Collins)
7289
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
7290
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
7291
if needed). (Robert Collins)
7293
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
7294
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
7297
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
7298
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
7299
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
7300
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
7301
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
7302
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
7303
version. (Robert Collins)
7305
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
7306
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
7308
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
7309
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
7310
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
7311
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
7312
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
7313
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
7315
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
7318
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
7328
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
7330
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
7332
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
7335
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
7336
query method. (Robert Collins)
7338
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
7341
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
7344
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
7347
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
7348
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
7349
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
7350
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
7352
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
7353
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
7354
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
7355
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
7357
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
7358
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
7365
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
7368
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
7372
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
7373
a separator, not ':'.
7376
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
7377
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
7378
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
7380
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
7381
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
7384
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
7385
has been added that suppresses all output.
7387
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
7390
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
7391
Goffredo Baroncelli.
7393
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
7394
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
7396
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
7397
a revision. (Robert Collins)
7399
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
7400
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
7401
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
7402
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
7404
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
7406
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
7407
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
7409
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
7410
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
7412
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
7413
output directory, if one was supplied.
7415
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
7416
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
7417
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
7418
parameters. (Robert Collins)
7420
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
7422
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
7423
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
7425
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
7426
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
7427
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
7429
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
7430
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
7432
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
7435
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
7437
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
7441
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
7442
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
7443
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
7445
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
7446
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
7447
related questions. (Robert Collins)
7449
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
7450
is given. (Martin Pool)
7452
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
7453
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
7454
file. (Robert Collins)
7456
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
7461
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
7462
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
7463
representation. (Martin Pool).
7465
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
7466
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
7467
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
7469
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
7472
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
7473
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
7476
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
7477
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
7478
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
7479
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
7480
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
7482
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
7483
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
7484
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
7485
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
7486
python path. (Robert Collins)
7488
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
7489
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
7490
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
7491
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
7493
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
7494
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
7496
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
7497
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
7500
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
7501
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
7502
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
7504
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
7505
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
7506
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
7508
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
7509
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
7511
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
7512
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
7513
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
7516
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
7517
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
7518
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
7519
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
7522
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
7525
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
7526
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
7529
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
7530
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
7531
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
7533
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
7534
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
7535
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
7537
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
7538
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
7539
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
7541
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
7542
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
7544
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
7545
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
7546
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
7547
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
7548
caller. (Robert Collins)
7550
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
7551
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
7554
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
7555
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
7558
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
7560
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
7561
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
7565
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
7566
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
7568
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
7569
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
7572
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
7573
--------------------
7577
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
7578
allow directories to be listed.
7580
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
7581
upgrading branch format.
7585
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
7593
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
7594
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
7595
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
7596
high-latency connections.
7600
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
7603
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
7604
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
7606
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
7607
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
7608
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
7609
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
7611
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
7612
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
7614
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
7615
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
7617
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
7618
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
7619
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
7621
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
7622
for files with only a change to their executable status.
7623
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
7626
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
7627
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
7629
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
7630
different partial views of history.
7632
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
7633
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
7637
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
7638
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
7639
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
7641
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
7642
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
7645
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
7646
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
7648
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
7651
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
7652
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
7654
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
7655
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
7656
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
7657
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
7659
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
7661
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
7662
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
7665
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
7666
Contributed by Robert Collins.
7668
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
7669
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
7670
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
7675
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
7676
for your viewing pleasure.
7678
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
7679
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
7681
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
7682
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
7683
handling of such circumstances.
7685
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
7686
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
7687
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
7689
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
7691
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
7692
we call them revisions not patches.
7694
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
7695
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
7697
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
7698
giving the revision *of that file*.
7700
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
7701
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
7702
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
7706
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
7707
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
7709
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
7710
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
7713
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
7714
--------------------
7718
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
7720
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
7723
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
7725
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
7727
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
7728
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
7732
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
7733
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
7735
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
7736
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
7737
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
7738
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
7741
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
7742
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
7746
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
7748
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
7749
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
7752
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
7753
--------------------
7757
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
7758
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
7759
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
7760
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
7763
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
7766
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
7767
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
7768
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
7769
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
7770
for the operating system is still tried.
7772
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
7773
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
7774
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
7779
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
7783
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
7785
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
7788
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
7794
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
7796
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
7799
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
7800
--------------------
7804
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
7805
help with intelligent shell completion.
7807
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
7812
* Much better merge support.
7814
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
7815
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
7821
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
7822
mention revisions that are not present.
7824
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
7826
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
7828
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
7829
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
7834
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
7836
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
7837
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
7843
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
7844
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
7849
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
7850
--------------------
7854
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
7855
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
7857
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
7859
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
7860
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
7862
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
7865
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
7867
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
7870
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
7871
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
7873
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
7874
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
7875
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
7880
* Faster working tree operations.
7885
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
7886
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
7887
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
7888
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
7890
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
7891
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
7892
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
7893
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
7894
standard plugins directory.
7896
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
7897
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
7898
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
7899
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
7901
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
7902
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
7904
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
7907
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
7908
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
7909
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
7911
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
7912
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
7914
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
7915
line options must come before the command name because they
7916
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
7917
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
7920
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
7922
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
7923
is available with ``--short``.
7928
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
7931
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
7932
---------------------
7936
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
7937
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
7939
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
7940
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
7941
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
7942
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
7944
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
7945
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
7946

now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
8025
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
8026
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
8028
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
8029

8068
---------------------
8072
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
8073
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
8075

8077
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
8078
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.

8124
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
8127
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch

8160
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
8165

'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
8200
* Performance improvements.
8202
* New global --profile option.
8204
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
8205
the root directory only.
