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 clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernoij)
43
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
44
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
49
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
50
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
52
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
53
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
54
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
56
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
57
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
59
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
60
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
61
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
64
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
65
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
66
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
68
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
69
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
70
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
71
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
73
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
74
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
76
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
79
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
80
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
82
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
83
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
85
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
86
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
87
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
89
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
93
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
94
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
95
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
97
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
98
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
100
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
101
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
104
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
105
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
106
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
108
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
109
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
111
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
112
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
114
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
115
(James Westby, #174539)
117
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
118
error branching from old repositories.
119
(Martin Pool, #321695)
121
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
122
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
124
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
125
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
126
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
127
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
129
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
130
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko)
132
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
133
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
135
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
136
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
140
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
141
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
145
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
146
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
147
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
150
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
151
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
153
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.
154
(Daniel Watkins, #327421, #327425)
156
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.
157
(James Westby, #336998)
161
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
162
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
163
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
164
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
165
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
167
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
168
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
169
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
170
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
171
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
172
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
174
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
175
"author" argument being deprecated.
177
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
179
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
180
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
181
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
182
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
184
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
185
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
186
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
188
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
189
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
190
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
192
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
193
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
195
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
196
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
197
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
198
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
202
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
203
free of virtual file system methods.
204
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
206
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
207
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
208
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
210
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
211
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
212
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
213
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
214
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
215
(Robert Collins, #334187)
217
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
219
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
220
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
222
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
223
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
224
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
225
stream the operation.
226
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
228
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
229
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
231
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
232
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
233
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
234
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
235
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
237
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
238
branch object. (Robert Collins)
240
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
241
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
242
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
244
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
245
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
248
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
251
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
252
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
253
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
255
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
256
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
257
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
259
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
260
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
261
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
263
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
264
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
265
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
267
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
268
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
269
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
270
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
271
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
273
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
274
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
275
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
276
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
277
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
278
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
280
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
281
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
282
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
283
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
284
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
286
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
287
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
289
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
290
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
292
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
293
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
294
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
295
to access private data in record to obtain content more
296
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
298
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
299
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.
303
bzr 1.12 "1234567890" 2009-02-13
304
--------------------------------
306
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
307
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
308
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
309
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
310
by showing the rate of network IO.
314
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
315
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
319
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
320
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
323
bzr 1.12rc1 "1234567890" 2009-02-10
324
-----------------------------------
326
COMPATIBILITY BREAKS:
328
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
329
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
330
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
331
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
333
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
334
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
335
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
338
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
339
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
340
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
341
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
343
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
344
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
345
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
348
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
352
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
353
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
354
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
357
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
358
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
359
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
361
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
362
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
363
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
364
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
365
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
366
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
367
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
368
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
369
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
374
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
377
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
380
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
381
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
382
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
384
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
385
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
386
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
387
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
388
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
390
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
391
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
393
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
394
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
395
level for better precision.
398
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
399
rules. (Marius Kruger)
401
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
402
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
403
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
405
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
406
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
407
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
410
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
411
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
412
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
416
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
418
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
420
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
421
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
422
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
424
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
425
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
426
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
427
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
428
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
429
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
431
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
432
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
434
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
435
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
437
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
438
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
439
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
441
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
442
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
443
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
446
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
447
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
449
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
450
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
451
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
452
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
454
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
455
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
457
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
459
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)
463
* Improved plugin developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
467
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
468
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
471
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
472
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
474
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
475
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
477
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
478
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
480
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
481
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
482
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
483
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
485
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
486
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
487
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
491
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
492
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
493
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
494
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
495
compile buffers, are such an example).
498
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
499
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
502
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
503
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
504
efficient way of doing the mapping.
507
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
508
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
510
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
511
formatters to retrict the output.
515
bzr 1.11 "Eyes up!" 2009-01-19
516
------------------------------
518
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
519
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
520
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
521
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
522
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
524
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
525
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
528
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
529
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.
533
* Fix failing test when CompiledChunksToLines is not available.
536
* Stacked branches don't repeatedly open their transport connection.
541
bzr 1.11rc1 "Eyes up!" 2009-01-09
542
---------------------------------
546
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
547
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
551
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
552
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
554
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
555
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
556
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
557
implement other plugins.
560
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
565
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
566
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
568
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
569
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
571
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
572
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
573
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
574
processes which drag in shell extensions.
577
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
578
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
579
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
580
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
581
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
583
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
584
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
585
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
586
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
587
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
591
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
592
control directory. (#139691)
594
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
595
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
597
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
598
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
600
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
601
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
602
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
604
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
605
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
607
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
608
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
609
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
611
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
612
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
614
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
617
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
618
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
619
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
621
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
622
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
624
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
625
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
626
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
628
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
629
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
630
in the appropriate sections.
631
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
633
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
634
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
637
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
638
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
640
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
641
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
643
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
644
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
646
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
647
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
648
work better with how it splits its requests.
649
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
651
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
652
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
653
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
655
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
658
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
660
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
661
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
663
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
668
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
669
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
670
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
675
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
676
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
677
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
678
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
680
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
681
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
683
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
684
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
685
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
686
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
688
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
689
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
690
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
691
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
695
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
696
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
697
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
699
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
700
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
701
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
702
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
704
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
705
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
706
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
711
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
712
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
715
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
716
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
717
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
720
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
721
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
722
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
723
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
725
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
726
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
727
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
729
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
730
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
731
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
732
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
734
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
735
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
736
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
737
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
740
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
741
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
743
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
744
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
745
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
747
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
748
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
749
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
750
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
752
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
753
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
754
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
757
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
758
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
759
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
760
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
761
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
762
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
763
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
765
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
766
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)
773
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
774
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
775
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
776
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
779
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
783
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
784
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
785
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
786
(Martin Pool, #303856)
788
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
789
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
790
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
791
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
792
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)
795
bzr 1.10rc1 2008-11-28
796
----------------------
798
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
799
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
800
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
801
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
802
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
806
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
807
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
809
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
814
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
815
history just to set the last revision info.
816
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
818
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
819
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
820
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
821
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
823
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
824
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
825
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
826
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
829
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
830
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
832
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
833
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
834
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
835
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
836
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
838
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
839
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
840
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
841
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
845
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
846
(Martin Pool, #289148)
848
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
849
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
851
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
852
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
853
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
854
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
856
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
857
starting with a dotted revno.
858
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
860
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
861
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
862
(Martin Pool, #288751)
864
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
865
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
866
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
868
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
869
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
870
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
872
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
873
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
874
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
875
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
877
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
878
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
879
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
881
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
882
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
886
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
887
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
888
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
889
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
891
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
892
have changed incompatibly.
894
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
895
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
896
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
897
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
898
don't need to change.
900
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
901
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
905
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
906
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
908
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
914
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
915
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
916
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
917
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
918
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
919
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
923
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
924
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
926
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
928
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
929
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.
930
(John Arbash Meinel, #293746)
933
bzr 1.9rc1 2008-10-31
934
---------------------
938
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
939
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
941
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
942
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
943
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
944
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
948
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
949
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
950
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
951
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
952
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
953
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
955
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
956
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
958
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
959
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
960
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
962
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
963
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
964
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
967
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
968
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
970
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
971
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
973
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
974
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
976
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
977
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
978
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
979
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
980
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
981
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
982
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
983
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
984
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
985
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
989
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
990
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
992
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
993
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
995
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
996
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
997
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
999
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
1000
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
1001
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
1003
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
1004
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
1005
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
1007
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
1008
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
1009
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
1010
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
1011
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
1012
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
1014
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
1015
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
1017
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
1018
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
1020
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
1021
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
1022
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
1023
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
1024
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
1026
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
1027
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
1028
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
1029
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
1033
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
1037
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
1041
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
1042
configuration of authetication credentials.
1048
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
1049
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
1050
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
1051
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
1052
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
1056
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
1057
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
1061
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
1062
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
1065
bzr 1.8rc1 2008-10-07
1066
---------------------
1070
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
1071
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
1072
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
1073
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
1074
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
1076
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
1077
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
1079
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
1080
server. (Marius Kruger)
1082
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
1083
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
1084
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
1085
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
1086
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
1087
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
1091
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
1092
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
1093
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
1095
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
1099
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
1100
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
1101
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
1102
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
1104
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
1105
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
1108
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
1109
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
1112
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
1115
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
1117
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
1118
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
1120
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
1121
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
1123
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
1124
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
1125
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
1126
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
1127
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
1128
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
1129
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
1130
operations. (Robert Collins)
1132
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
1134
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
1135
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
1136
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
1140
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
1141
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
1142
(Martin Pool, #279381)
1144
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
1145
repository now preserves the repository format.
1146
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
1148
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
1149
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
1151
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
1152
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
1154
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
1156
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
1158
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
1161
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
1162
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
1163
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
1165
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
1166
is in a different repository than the current one.
1167
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
1169
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
1170
(David Futcher, #242106)
1172
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
1173
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1175
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
1176
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
1177
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
1178
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
1180
* Trivial documentation fix.
1181
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
1183
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
1184
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
1185
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
1186
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
1190
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
1194
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
1195
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
1196
to use. (Robert Collins)
1198
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
1199
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
1200
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
1202
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
1203
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
1204
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
1205
they want. (Robert Collins)
1209
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
1210
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
1211
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
1213
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
1214
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
1217
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
1220
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
1221
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
1223
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
1228
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
1229
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
1231
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
1232
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
1233
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
1235
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
1236
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
1237
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
1239
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
1240
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1242
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
1243
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
1245
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
1246
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
1248
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
1249
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
1250
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
1251
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept
1256
bzr 1.7.1 2008-10-01
1257
--------------------
1259
No changes from 1.7.1rc1.
1262
bzr 1.7.1rc1 2008-09-24
1263
-----------------------
1265
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
1266
file paths when we encounter complex history.
1270
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
1271
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
1272
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
1273
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.
1274
(John Arbash Meinel)
1280
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
1281
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
1282
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
1283
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
1284
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
1285
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.
1289
* Some small updates to the win32 installer. Include localization
1290
files found in plugins, and include the builtin distutils as part of
1291
packaging qbzr. (Mark Hammond)
1294
bzr 1.7rc2 2008-09-17
1295
---------------------
1297
A few bug fixes from 1.7rc1. The biggest change is a new
1298
``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
1299
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
1300
connect to the stacked-on location.
1304
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
1305
repository now preserves the repository format.
1306
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
1308
* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect
1309
to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
1311
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
1314
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
1318
bzr 1.7rc1 2008-09-09
1319
---------------------
1321
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
1322
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
1323
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
1324
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
1325
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
1326
it in a future repository format.
1331
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
1334
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
1335
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
1336
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
1338
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
1339
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
1340
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
1344
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
1345
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
1347
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
1351
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
1352
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
1355
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
1356
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
1358
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
1359
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
1362
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
1363
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
1364
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
1365
(John Arbash Meinel)
1367
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
1368
(Martin Pool, #261315)
1370
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
1371
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
1372
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
1373
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
1374
(John Arbash Meinel)
1376
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
1377
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
1378
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
1379
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
1380
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
1381
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
1382
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
1383
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
1384
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
1385
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1389
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
1390
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
1392
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
1393
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
1394
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
1396
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
1397
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
1398
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
1400
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
1401
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
1402
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
1403
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
1404
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
1405
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
1407
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
1408
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
1410
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
1411
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
1413
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
1414
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
1415
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
1416
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
1417
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
1418
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
1420
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
1421
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
1423
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
1424
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
1426
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
1427
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
1428
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
1429
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
1431
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
1432
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
1434
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
1435
assuming the host name is ascii.
1436
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
1438
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
1439
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
1443
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
1447
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
1449
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
1450
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
1451
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
1454
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
1455
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1457
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
1458
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
1460
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
1461
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
1465
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
1466
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
1467
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
1468
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
1470
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
1474
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
1475
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
1476
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1478
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
1483
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
1484
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
1487
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
1488
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
1489
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
1490
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
1491
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1493
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
1494
is unknown in both source and target.
1495
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
1497
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
1498
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
1499
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
1500
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1502
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
1503
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
1504
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
1505
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1508
bzr 1.6.1 2008-09-05
1509
--------------------
1511
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
1512
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
1513
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
1516
bzr 1.6.1rc2 2008-09-03
1517
-----------------------
1521
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
1522
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
1523
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
1524
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
1527
bzr 1.6.1rc1 2008-08-29
1528
-----------------------
1530
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
1531
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
1532
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
1533
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
1534
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
1535
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
1536
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
1537
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
1538
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
1539
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
1540
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
1541
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
1545
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
1546
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
1547
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
1548
start of the string (causing more copies).
1549
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
1550
especially for projects with large files.
1551
(John Arbash Meinel)
1553
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
1554
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
1555
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
1556
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
1557
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
1559
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
1560
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
1561
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
1562
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
1563
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.
1564
(John Arbash Meinel, #262333)
1570
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
1571
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
1572
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
1573
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
1574
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
1575
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
1576
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
1577
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
1578
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
1581
bzr 1.6rc5 2008-08-19
1582
---------------------
1586
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
1587
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
1588
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
1589
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
1590
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
1593
bzr 1.6rc4 2008-08-18
1594
---------------------
1598
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
1599
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
1600
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
1603
bzr 1.6rc3 2008-08-14
1604
---------------------
1608
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
1609
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
1614
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
1615
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
1616
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
1621
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
1622
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
1623
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
1625
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
1626
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
1627
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
1628
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
1629
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
1630
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
1631
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
1634
bzr 1.6rc2 2008-08-13
1635
---------------------
1637
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
1642
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
1643
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
1645
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
1646
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
1649
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
1650
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
1651
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
1652
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
1653
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
1655
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
1656
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1658
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
1659
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
1661
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
1662
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
1664
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
1665
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
1666
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
1667
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
1668
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
1669
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
1672
bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
1673
---------------------
1675
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
1676
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
1677
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
1678
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
1679
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
1683
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
1684
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
1685
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
1689
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
1690
check. (Daniel Watkins)
1692
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
1693
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
1695
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
1696
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
1697
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1699
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
1702
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
1703
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
1704
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
1705
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
1706
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
1707
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
1708
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1710
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
1711
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
1712
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
1716
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
1717
physical repository boundaries.
1718
(Martin Pool, #252428)
1720
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
1721
(Martin Pool, #206258)
1723
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
1724
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
1727
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
1730
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
1731
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
1732
that Python is running from.
1733
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
1735
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
1736
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
1737
(Robert Collins, #150438)
1739
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
1740
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
1742
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
1743
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
1744
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
1746
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
1747
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
1749
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
1750
(James Westby, #248448)
1754
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
1755
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
1756
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
1759
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
1760
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
1763
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
1764
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
1765
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
1766
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
1767
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
1768
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
1771
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
1772
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1774
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
1775
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
1776
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
1777
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
1778
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
1779
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
1783
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
1784
putting together a real history without having to create a full
1785
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
1786
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
1787
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
1788
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1790
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
1791
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
1792
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
1794
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
1797
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
1798
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
1800
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
1804
bzr 1.6beta3 2008-07-17
1805
-----------------------
1807
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
1808
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
1809
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
1810
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
1815
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
1816
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
1817
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
1819
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
1820
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
1821
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
1822
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
1823
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
1826
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
1828
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
1829
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
1830
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
1835
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
1836
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
1839
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
1840
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
1841
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
1842
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
1844
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
1845
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
1846
(Christophe Troestler)
1848
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
1849
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
1851
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
1852
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
1853
faster. The new request method name is
1854
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1858
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
1859
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
1860
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
1861
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
1862
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
1864
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
1865
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
1867
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
1868
requires a branch to be present.
1869
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
1871
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
1873
(Martin Pool, #205230)
1875
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
1876
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
1877
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
1878
(Martin Pool, #240161)
1880
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
1881
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
1883
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
1885
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
1887
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
1888
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
1889
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
1890
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
1891
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
1893
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
1894
(Martin Pool, #172870)
1896
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
1897
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
1899
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
1901
(Matt McClure, #209281)
1903
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
1904
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
1906
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
1907
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
1911
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
1914
* Updated developer documentation.
1919
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
1920
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
1922
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
1923
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
1924
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
1925
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
1929
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
1930
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
1931
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
1932
Repository docstring for more details.
1935
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
1936
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
1937
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
1939
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
1940
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
1943
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
1944
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
1945
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
1946
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
1950
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
1951
(Alexander Belchenko)
1953
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
1954
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
1955
containing a given location.
1958
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
1959
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
1960
storage. (Robert Collins)
1962
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
1965
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
1966
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
1970
bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
1971
-----------------------
1973
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
1974
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
1975
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
1980
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
1981
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
1982
reading from the repository.)
1983
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
1985
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
1986
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1988
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
1989
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
1992
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
1993
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
1994
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
1996
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
1997
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
1998
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
2000
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
2001
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
2003
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
2004
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
2005
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
2006
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
2010
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
2012
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
2013
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
2014
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
2017
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
2018
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
2022
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2026
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
2027
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
2031
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
2032
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
2033
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
2034
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
2035
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
2037
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
2038
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
2042
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
2043
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
2045
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
2046
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
2049
bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
2050
-----------------------
2053
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
2054
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
2055
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
2056
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
2057
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
2058
and future extensions.
2061
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2063
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
2064
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
2065
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
2066
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
2067
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
2068
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
2069
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
2070
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
2074
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
2075
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
2076
(John Arbash Meinel)
2080
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
2081
load. (James Westby)
2085
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
2086
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
2087
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
2088
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2090
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
2091
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
2092
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
2094
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
2095
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
2097
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
2098
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
2099
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
2101
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
2102
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
2103
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
2104
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
2105
step closer to not using full revision history.
2106
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
2110
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
2111
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
2113
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
2114
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
2116
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
2117
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
2119
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
2120
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
2121
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
2122
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
2124
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
2125
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
2126
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
2127
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
2129
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
2130
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
2131
in use by another process.
2134
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
2135
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
2136
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
2137
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
2139
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
2140
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
2142
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
2143
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
2144
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
2146
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
2147
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
2148
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
2150
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
2152
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
2154
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
2155
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
2157
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
2158
under vim on Mac OS X.
2159
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2161
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
2162
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
2166
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
2167
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
2169
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
2170
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
2173
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
2174
and about use of Python reprs.
2175
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
2177
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
2181
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
2184
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
2185
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
2187
* New helper function for splitting test suites
2188
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
2192
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
2193
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
2194
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
2195
(John Arbash Meinel)
2199
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
2200
instead. (Martin Pool)
2202
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
2203
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
2204
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
2205
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
2207
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
2208
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
2209
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
2210
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
2211
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
2213
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
2214
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
2215
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
2216
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
2217
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
2218
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
2220
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
2221
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
2224
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
2225
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
2228
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
2229
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
2230
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
2231
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
2233
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
2234
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
2235
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
2237
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
2238
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
2239
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
2240
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
2241
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
2244
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
2245
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
2246
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
2247
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
2250
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
2251
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
2252
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
2253
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
2254
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
2256
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
2263
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
2264
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
2265
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
2269
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
2270
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
2271
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
2275
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
2276
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
2280

---------------------
2283
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2287
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
2288
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
2289
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
2290
variable. (Xavier Maillard)

* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
2297
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
2299
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
2300
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
2302
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
2307
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
2308
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
2310
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
2311
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
2313
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
2314
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
2315
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
2317
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
2318
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
2319
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
2321
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
2324
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
2325
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
2327
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
2328
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
2330
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
2331
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
2333
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
2334
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
2336
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
2337
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
2338
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
2340
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
2341
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
2343
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
2344
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
2346
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
2347
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
2348
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
2349
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
2351
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
2352
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
2355
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
2356
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
2357
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
2359
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
2360
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
2361
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
2362
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
2363
every revision each side had in common.
2364
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2366
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
2367
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
2369
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
2370
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
2371
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
2372
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
2376
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
2377
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
2378
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
2379
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
2381
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
2383
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
2385
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
2386
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
2390
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
2391
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
2392
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
2394
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
2395
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
2396
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
2397
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
2399
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
2400
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2402
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
2403
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
2404
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
2405
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2407
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
2408
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
2409
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
2410
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2414
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
2415
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
2416
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
2418
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
2420
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
2421
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
2423
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
2424
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2426
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
2427
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
2431
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
2432
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
2433
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
2435
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
2436
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
2437
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
2440
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
2441
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
2444
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.
2451
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
2452
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
2453
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
2454
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
2455
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
2456
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
2457
and faster performance.
2461
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
2462
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
2463
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
2464
(John Arbash Meinel, Andrew Bennetts, #214894)
2467
bzr 1.4rc2 2008-04-21
2468
---------------------
2472
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
2473
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
2474
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
2476
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
2477
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
2479
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
2480
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
2482
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
2483
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
2484
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
2485
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
2486
every revision each side had in common.
2487
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2490
bzr 1.4rc1 2008-04-11
2491
---------------------
2495
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
2497
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
2498
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
2500
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
2501
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
2502
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
2504
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
2505
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
2506
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
2507
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
2508
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
2509
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
2512
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
2513
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
2514
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
2515
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
2519
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
2521
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
2522
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
2523
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
2525
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
2526
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
2527
See the User Reference for signature details.
2528
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
2530
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
2531
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
2535
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
2536
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
2537
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
2538
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2540
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
2541
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
2543
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
2544
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
2545
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
2548
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
2551
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
2552
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
2553
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
2555
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
2558
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
2559
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
2561
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
2562
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
2564
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
2565
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
2566
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
2568
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
2569
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
2570
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
2571
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
2572
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
2574
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
2575
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
2577
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
2578
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2582
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
2583
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
2584
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
2585
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
2586
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
2587
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
2589
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
2590
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
2592
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
2593
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
2594
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
2596
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
2597
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
2599
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
2600
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
2601
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
2602
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2604
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
2605
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
2606
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
2607
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
2608
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
2610
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
2612
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
2613
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
2615
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
2617
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
2618
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
2620
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
2621
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
2625
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
2627
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
2629
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2631
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
2635
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
2636
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
2637
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
2639
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
2640
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
2641
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
2642
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
2644
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
2645
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
2646
release. (James Westby)
2648
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
2651
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
2653
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
2654
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
2656
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
2657
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
2659
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
2660
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
2662
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
2663
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
2664
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
2666
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
2667
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
2668
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
2669
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
2671
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
2672
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
2673
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
2674
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
2676
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
2677
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
2678
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
2679
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
2680
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
2681
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
2683
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
2684
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
2685
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
2687
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
2688
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
2690
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
2691
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
2694
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
2695
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
2697
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
2698
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
2700
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
2701
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
2703
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
2704
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
2705
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
2707
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
2708
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
2709
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
2710
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
2711
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
2712
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
2716
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
2717
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
2718
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
2719
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
2721
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
2722
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
2723
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
2724
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
2728
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
2729
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
2732
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
2733
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
2735
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
2737
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
2738
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
2739
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
2743
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2745
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
2748
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
2749
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
2750
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
2751
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
2752
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
2753
(Martin Pool, #109520)
2755
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
2756
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
2758
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
2759
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
2760
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
2761
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
2763
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
2764
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
2766
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
2767
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

2790
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
2792
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
2793
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
2794
features have been added.

bzr 1.3rc1 2008-03-16
2804
---------------------
2806
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2808
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
2809
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
2813
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
2814
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
2815
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
2816
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
2819
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
2820
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
2821
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
2822
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
2823
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
2824
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
2826
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
2827
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
2828
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
2829
(Alexander Belchenko)
2831
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2833
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
2834
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
2838
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
2839
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
2841
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
2842
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
2847
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
2849
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2851
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
2852
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
2853
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
2855
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
2856
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
2858
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
2859
to. (Daniel Watkins)
2861
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
2862
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
2863
(Alexander Belchenko)
2865
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
2866
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
2867
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
2868
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
2870
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
2873
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
2874
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
2875
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
2876
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
2877
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2881
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
2882
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
2883
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
2884
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
2886
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
2887
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
2889
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
2890
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
2892
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
2893
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
2894
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
2896
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
2897
(#198793, John Ferlito)
2899
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
2902
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
2903
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
2905
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
2907
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
2909
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
2910
symlinks (James Henstridge)
2912
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
2913
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
2915
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
2916
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
2918
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
2919
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
2921
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
2922
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
2924
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
2925
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
2929
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
2930
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2934
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
2935
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
2936
(Alexander Belchenko)
2940
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
2942
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
2943
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
2948
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
2949
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
2950
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
2952
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
2953
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
2954
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
2955
(Alexander Belchenko)
2957
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
2958
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
2959
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
2960
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
2962
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
2963
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
2964
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
2967
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
2968
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
2969
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
2971
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
2972
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
2973
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
2975
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
2976
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
2977
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
2978
format. (Robert Collins)
2986
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
2989
bzr 1.2rc1 2008-02-13
2990
---------------------
2992
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2994
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
2995
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
2996
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
2997
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
2998
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
3003
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
3004
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
3006
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
3007
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
3008
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
3010
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
3011
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
3012
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
3013
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
3014
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
3015
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
3020
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
3021
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3023
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
3024
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
3025
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
3028
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
3029
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
3030
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
3031
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
3032
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
3034
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
3035
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
3036
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
3037
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
3038
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
3039
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
3040
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
3041
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
3045
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
3046
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
3048
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
3049
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
3051
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
3052
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3054
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
3055
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
3056
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
3058
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
3059
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
3060
(John Arbash Meinel)
3064
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
3065
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
3067
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
3068
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
3070
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
3071
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
3073
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
3074
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
3075
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
3077
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
3078
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
3079
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
3081
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
3082
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
3084
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
3085
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
3086
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
3087
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
3088
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
3090
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
3092
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
3093
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
3096
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
3097
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
3099
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
3100
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
3102
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
3103
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
3105
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
3106
more characters which should be considered valid.
3107
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
3109
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
3110
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
3112
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
3113
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
3117
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
3118
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
3120
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
3121
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
3126
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
3127
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
3132
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
3133
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
3134
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
3136
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
3137
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
3138
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
3140
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
3141
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
3142
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
3143
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
3145
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
3147
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
3148
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
3149
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
3150
server. (Robert Collins)
3152
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
3153
operate. (Robert Collins)
3155
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
3156
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
3157
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
3159
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
3160
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
3161
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
3162
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
3164
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
3165
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
3167
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
3168
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
3169
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
3171
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
3172
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
3174
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
3175
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
3177
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
3178
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
3179
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
3180
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)
3186
(no changes from 1.1rc1)
3188
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
3189
---------------------
3193
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
3194
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
3195
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
3196
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
3198
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
3199
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
3200
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
3201
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
3205
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
3208
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
3211
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
3212
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
3216
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
3219
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
3220
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
3221
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
3223
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
3225
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
3226
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
3227
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
3228
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
3229
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
3231
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
3232
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
3233
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
3235
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
3236
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
3238
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
3241
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
3243
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
3245
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
3248
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
3249
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
3253
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
3254
(Martin Pool, #180208)
3256
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
3257
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
3259
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
3262
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
3263
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
3265
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
3266
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
3268
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
3269
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3271
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
3272
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
3274
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
3275
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
3276
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
3278
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
3279
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
3281
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
3282
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
3285
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
3287
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
3288
user:pass embedded in the urls.
3289
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
3291
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
3292
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
3294
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
3297
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
3300
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
3301
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
3303
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
3306
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
3307
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
3310
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
3311
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
3312
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
3316
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
3319
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
3320
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
3321
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
3322
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
3323
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
3324
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
3326
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
3330
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
3333
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
3334
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
3336
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
3338
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
3339
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
3340
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
3343
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
3344
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3346
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
3353
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
3354
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
3355
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
3357
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
3358
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
3361
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
3362
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
3364
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
3365
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
3367
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
3368
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
3370
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
3371
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
3372
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
3374
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
3375
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
3377
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
3378
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
3380
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
3381
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
3384
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
3385
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
3387
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
3388
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
3396
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
3398
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
3401
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
3403
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
3404
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
3408
bzr 1.0rc3 2007-12-11
3409
---------------------
3413
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
3414
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
3415
by mail to the mailing list.
3420
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
3422
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
3423
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
3424
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
3425
feedback but also incur more latency.
3426
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
3428
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
3429
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
3433
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
3435
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
3440
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
3441
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
3442
wraps its output in a StringIO.

* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
3453
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
3456
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
3459
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
3460
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
3461
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
3462
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3464
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
3467
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
3468
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
3470
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
3471
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
3472
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
3474
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
3475
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
3476
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
3477
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
3478
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
3479
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
3480
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
3481
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
3482
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
3486
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
3489
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
3493
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
3494
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
3496
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
3498
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
3500
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
3501
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
3503
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
3505
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
3506
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
3508
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
3509
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
3513
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
3514
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)
3517
bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
3518
---------------------
3520
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3522
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
3523
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
3524
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
3525
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
3527
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
3528
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
3530
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
3531
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
3533
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
3534
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
3535
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
3536
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
3537
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
3538
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
3539
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
3540
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
3541
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
3542
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
3543
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
3544
from any tree without problems.
3545
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
3549
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
3550
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
3551
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
3553
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
3554
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
3555
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
3560
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
3561
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
3562
supported transports.
3565
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
3566
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
3567
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
3569
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
3570
(Robert Collins, #154173)
3572
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
3573
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
3574
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
3575
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
3577
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
3578
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
3582
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
3583
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
3584
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
3585
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3587
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
3588
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
3589
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
3590
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
3592
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
3593
(Robert Collins, #88319)
3595
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
3596
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
3598
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
3599
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
3601
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
3602
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
3607
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
3610
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
3611
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
3614
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
3615
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
3616
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
3617
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
3619
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
3620
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
3621
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
3622
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
3628
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
3629
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
3631
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
3632
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
3634
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
3635
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
3637
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
3638
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
3640
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
3641
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
3643
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
3644
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
3646
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
3647
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
3649
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
3652
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
3653
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
3655
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
3656
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
3657
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
3659
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
3660
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
3662
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
3663
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
3665
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
3666
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
3668
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
3669
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
3671
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
3672
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
3673
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
3674
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
3676
(Martin Pool, #164637)
3678
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
3679
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
3680
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
3682
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
3683
(Robert Collins, #161240)
3685
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
3687
(Martin Pool, #164443)
3689
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
3690
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
3692
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
3693
specify a port in urls.
3694
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
3696
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
3697
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
3699
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
3700
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
3702
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
3703
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
3705
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
3706
(Robert Collins, #153789)
3708
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
3709
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
3710
(Robert Collins, #165304).
3712
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
3714
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
3715
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
3717
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
3720
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
3721
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
3723
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
3724
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
3726
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
3727
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
3728
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
3730
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
3731
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
3733
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
3734
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
3735
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
3736
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
3738
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
3739
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
3741
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
3742
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
3743
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
3745
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
3746
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
3748
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
3749
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
3751
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
3752
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
3756
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
3757
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
3759
* The return value of
3760
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
3761
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
3762
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
3763
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
3765
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
3768
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
3769
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
3775
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
3776
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
3777
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
3780
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
3781
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
3783
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
3793
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
3796
bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29
3797
----------------------
3799
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3803
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
3804
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
3806
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
3807
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
3808
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
3809
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
3810
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
3811
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
3812
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
3813
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
3814
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
3815
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
3816
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
3817
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
3822
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
3823
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
3824
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
3825
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
3826
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
3827
for further details. (Robert Collins)
3829
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
3830
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
3831
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
3834
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
3836
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
3837
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
3839
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
3840
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
3843
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
3844
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
3845
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
3849
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
3850
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
3852
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
3853
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
3855
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
3856
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
3857
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
3858
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
3860
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
3863
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
3864
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
3865
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
3866
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
3868
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
3869
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
3871
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
3872
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
3874
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
3875
the contents. (Robert Collins)
3877
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
3878
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
3882
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
3883
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
3885
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
3886
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
3888
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
3889
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
3891
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
3892
(Martin Pool, #63894)
3894
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
3895
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
3899
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
3901
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
3906
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
3907
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
3908
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
3910
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
3911
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
3913
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
3914
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
3916
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
3917
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
3918
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
3919
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
3921
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
3922
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
3923
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
3924
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
3925
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
3927
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
3928
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
3930
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
3932
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3934
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
3935
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
3937
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
3938
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
3940
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
3941
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
3943
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
3944
contains a symbolic link.
3945
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
3947
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
3948
(James Westby, #140615)
3950
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
3951
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
3952
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
3954
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
3955
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
3956
(Martin Pool, #144633)
3958
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3960
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
3961
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
3963
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
3965
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
3967
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
3968
directory to detect leaking tests.
3969
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
3971
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
3972
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
3973
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
3975
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
3978
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
3979
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
3981
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
3986
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
3987
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
3989
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
3990
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
3991
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
3993
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
3994
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
3995
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
3997
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
3998
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
4000
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
4001
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
4003
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
4004
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
4007
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
4008
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
4010
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
4011
class that needs it.
4014
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
4015
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
4017
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
4018
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
4019
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
4021
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
4022
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
4023
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
4026
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
4027
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
4028
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
4029
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
4034
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
4035
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
4036
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
4038
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
4039
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
4040
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
4041
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
4043
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
4044
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
4047
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
4048
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
4049
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
4051
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
4052
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
4053
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
4055
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
4056
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
4058
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
4059
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
4060
to complete. (Robert Collins)
4062
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
4063
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
4065
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
4066
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
4067
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
4069
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
4070
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
4071
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
4073
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
4074
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
4075
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
4076
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
4078
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
4079
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
4080
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
4081
returned. (Robert Collins)
4083
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
4084
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
4086
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
4087
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
4088
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
4089
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
4092
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
4093
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
4097
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
4098
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
4100
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
4101
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
4102
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
4103
makes this behavior available to other users.
4106
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
4107
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
4115
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
4116
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
4117
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
4119
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
4121
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
4122
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
4123
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
4124
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
4126
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
4127
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
4131
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
4132
----------------------
4134
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
4135
in bzrlib/remote.py.
4138
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
4139
----------------------
4143
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
4144
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
4145
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
4146
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
4149
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
4150
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
4151
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
4156
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
4157
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
4158
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
4161
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
4162
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
4163
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
4165
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
4166
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
4167
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
4169
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
4170
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
4172
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
4173
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
4174
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
4175
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
4176
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
4177
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
4178
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
4179
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
4180
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
4181
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
4183
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
4184
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
4186
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
4187
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
4188
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
4192
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
4193
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
4195
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
4196
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
4197
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
4199
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
4200
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
4202
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
4203
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
4205
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
4208
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
4209
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
4211
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
4212
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
4214
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
4215
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4217
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
4218
(Blake Winton, #129299)
4220
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
4222
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
4225
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
4226
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
4227
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
4228
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
4230
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4232
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
4233
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
4236
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
4237
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
4239
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
4240
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
4243
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
4244
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
4246
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
4247
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
4249
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
4250
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
4251
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
4252
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
4253
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
4254
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
4255
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
4257
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
4258
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
4260
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
4261
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
4263
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
4264
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
4266
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
4267
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
4269
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
4271
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
4273
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
4274
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
4276
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
4277
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
4278
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
4280
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
4281
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
4282
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
4286
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
4287
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4289
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
4292
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
4295
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
4296
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
4298
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
4300
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
4301
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
4303
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
4304
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
4306
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
4307
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
4308
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
4309
space). (Robert Collins)
4311
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
4312
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
4315
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
4316
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4318
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
4319
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
4321
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
4322
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
4323
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
4324
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
4326
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
4327
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
4328
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
4331
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
4334
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
4335
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
4336
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
4338
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
4339
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
4340
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
4341
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
4342
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
4346
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
4347
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
4349
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
4350
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
4351
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
4352
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
4353
affected. (Robert Collins)
4355
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
4356
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
4357
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
4360
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
4361
previous release. (Martin Pool)
4365
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
4366
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
4368
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
4369
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4371
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
4372
previous release. (Martin Pool)
4374
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
4377
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
4378
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4382
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
4383
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
4384
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
4385
its version information. (Robert Collins)
4387
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
4388
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4390
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
4391
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
4392
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
4393
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4395
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
4396
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
4397
present. (Robert Collins)
4399
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
4400
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
4401
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
4402
API. (Robert Collins)
4404
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
4405
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
4408
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
4409
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
4411
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
4412
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
4413
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
4414
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
4415
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
4416
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
4418
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
4419
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
4420
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
4422
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
4423
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
4424
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
4425
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
4428
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
4431
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
4432
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
4433
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
4434
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
4435
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
4436
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
4437
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
4439
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
4440
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
4441
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
4442
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
4444
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
4445
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
4446
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
4447
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
4448
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
4449
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
4451
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
4452
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
4453
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
4455
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
4456
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
4464
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
4465
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
4466
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
4467
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
4468
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
4469
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
4470
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
4471
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
4476
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
4477
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
4478
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
4481
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
4482
----------------------
4486
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
4487
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
4488
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
4489
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
4490
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
4492
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
4493
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
4495
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
4497
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
4499
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
4500
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
4503
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
4504
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
4507
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
4510
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
4511
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
4513
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
4514
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
4516
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
4517
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
4519
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
4520
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
4522
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
4523
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
4525
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
4530
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
4531
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
4533
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
4534
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
4536
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
4537
the repository (Robert Collins)
4539
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
4540
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
4541
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
4542
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
4543
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
4545
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
4546
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
4548
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
4549
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
4550
(John Arbash Meinel)
4552
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
4553
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
4554
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
4556
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
4557
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
4558
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
4559
(John Arbash Meinel)
4561
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
4562
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
4565
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
4566
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
4568
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
4571
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
4573
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
4575
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
4576
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
4578
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
4579
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
4582
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
4583
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
4584
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
4585
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
4587
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
4588
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
4589
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
4591
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
4592
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
4593
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
4595
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
4596
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
4598
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
4599
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
4600
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
4601
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
4602
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
4603
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
4606
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
4607
(Alexander Belchenko)
4609
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
4610
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
4612
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
4613
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
4615
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
4617
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
4618
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
4622
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
4623
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
4624
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
4625
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
4627
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
4629
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
4632
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
4633
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
4634
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
4635
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
4636
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
4637
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
4641
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
4642
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
4643
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
4644
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
4646
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
4647
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
4648
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
4649
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
4650
tests have been refactored too.
4653
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
4654
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
4655
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
4659
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
4660
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
4661
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
4663
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
4664
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
4665
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
4666
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
4667
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
4668
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
4669
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
4671
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
4672
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
4673
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
4674
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
4675
(John Arbash Meinel)
4677
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
4678
functionality for testing.
4680
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
4682
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
4683
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4685
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
4687
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
4690
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
4691
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
4693
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
4694
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
4695
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
4697
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
4700
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
4701
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
4703
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
4704
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
4705
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
4706
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
4708
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
4709
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
4711
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
4712
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
4713
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
4715
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
4718
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
4719
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
4720
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
4721
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
4722
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
4723
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
4725
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
4726
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
4727
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
4728
many files. (Robert Collins)
4730
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
4731
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
4732
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
4733
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
4737
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
4738
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
4739
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
4741
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
4742
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
4744
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
4745
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
4746
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
4750
--------------------
4754
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
4757
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
4758
-----------------------
4762
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
4763
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
4765
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
4766
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
4767
(James Westby, #122656)
4769
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
4770
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
4772
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
4773
authentication header.
4774
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
4776
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
4778
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
4779
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
4781
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
4783
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
4784
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
4786
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
4787
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
4788
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
4790
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
4791
individually and as part of revision ranges.
4792
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
4794
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
4795
(Martin Pool, #109169)
4797
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
4798
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
4800
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
4801
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
4803
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
4805
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
4809
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
4810
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
4811
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
4812
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
4813
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
4814
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
4816
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
4817
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
4818
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
4820
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
4823
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
4824
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
4826
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
4827
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
4829
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
4830
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
4832
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
4833
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
4834
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
4835
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
4836
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
4838
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
4839
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
4841
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
4842
can be slow it is useful feedback).
4843
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
4845
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
4846
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
4848
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
4850
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
4851
output. (Aaron Bentley)
4853
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
4854
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
4857
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
4860
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
4861
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
4863
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
4864
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
4866
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
4867
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
4869
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
4871
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
4872
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
4874
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
4879
* Testing cleanups -
4880
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
4881
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
4882
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
4883
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
4884
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4885
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
4886
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4887
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
4888
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4889
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
4890
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
4891
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
4892
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4893
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
4894
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4895
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
4896
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
4899
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
4901
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
4902
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
4903
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
4905
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
4906
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
4908
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
4909
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4911
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
4913
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
4914
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
4915
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
4916
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
4917
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
4918
same location. (Robert Collins)
4922
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
4924
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
4926
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
4928
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
4931
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
4934
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
4935
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
4936
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
4938
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
4940
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
4941
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
4942
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
4944
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
4945
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
4947
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
4948
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
4949
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
4951
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
4952
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
4953
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
4955
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
4956
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
4957
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
4959
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
4960
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
4963
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
4964
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
4966
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
4967
(Alexander Belchenko)
4971
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
4972
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
4973
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
4974
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4976
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
4977
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
4978
testing. (Robert Collins)
4980
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
4981
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
4983
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
4984
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
4985
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
4986
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
4987
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
4988
attribute during the test parameterisation in
4989
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
4991
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
4992
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
4993
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
4994
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
4996
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
4997
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
4999
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
5000
avoid useless cloning.
5001
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
5005
--------------------
5009
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
5010
(Colin Watson, #120647)
5012
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.

-----------------------
5019
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5021
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
5022
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
5023
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
5024
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
5025
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
5026
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
5027
and unlock() like so::
5029
work_tree.lock_read()
5031
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
5036
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
5037
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
5039
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
5040
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
5041
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
5043
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
5044
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
5045
too. (Robert Collins)
5049
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
5050
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
5053
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
5054
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
5056
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
5057
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
5059
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
5060
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
5061
understanding what changes have occurred
5062
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
5064
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
5065
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
5066
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
5068
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
5069
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
5070
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
5071
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
5073
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
5078
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
5079
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
5080
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
5081
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
5082
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
5084
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
5085
based on split paths, not just string paths.
5086
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
5088
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
5089
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
5091
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
5093
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
5095
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
5096
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
5098
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
5099
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
5101
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
5102
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
5104
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
5105
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
5107
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
5108
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
5110
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
5111
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
5112
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
5115
--------------------
5119
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
5120
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
5121
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
5122
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
5123
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
5125
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
5126
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
5127
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
5129
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
5130
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
5134
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
5135
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
5136
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
5138
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
5139
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
5140
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
5141
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
5143
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
5144
-----------------------
5148
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
5149
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
5150
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
5151
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
5153
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
5154
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
5155
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
5157
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
5158
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
5160
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
5161
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
5163
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
5164
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
5166
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
5167
-----------------------
5169
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5171
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
5172
it could be recovered again.
5173
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
5174
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
5175
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
5177
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
5179
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
5180
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
5184
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
5185
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
5187
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
5188
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
5189
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
5190
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
5192
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
5193
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
5195
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
5196
tests with names that match that regular expression.
5197
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
5199
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
5200
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
5201
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
5203
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
5204
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
5205
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
5207
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
5208
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
5211
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
5214
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
5215
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
5216
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
5217
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
5219
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
5222
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
5223
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
5224
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
5227
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
5228
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
5230
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
5231
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
5233
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
5234
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
5235
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
5236
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
5239
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
5240
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
5242
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
5243
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
5245
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
5246
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
5247
(Robert Collins, #107125).
5249
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
5250
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
5251
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
5253
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
5254
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
5255
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5257
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
5258
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
5259
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
5260
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
5262
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
5263
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
5264
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
5265
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
5267
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
5268
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
5269
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
5270
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
5271
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
5272
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
5273
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
5274
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
5280
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
5281
code paths. (Robert Collins)
5283
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
5284
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
5285
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
5286
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
5287
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5289
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
5290
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
5292
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
5293
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
5295
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
5296
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
5298
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
5299
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
5301
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
5302
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
5303
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
5306
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
5307
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
5308
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
5309
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
5310
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
5313
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
5314
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
5315
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
5317
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
5318
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
5321
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
5322
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
5323
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
5326
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
5327
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
5328
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
5329
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
5330
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
5332
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
5333
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
5334
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
5335
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5337
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
5338
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
5340
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
5341
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
5342
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
5343
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
5344
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
5345
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
5347
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
5348
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
5350
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
5351
help. (Robert Collins)
5353
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
5354
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
5356
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
5357
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
5358
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
5359
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
5360
(John Arbash Meinel)
5362
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
5363
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
5364
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
5365
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
5366
useful. (Robert Collins)
5368
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
5373
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
5374
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
5376
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
5377
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
5379
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
5380
properly and is no longer beneficial.
5381
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
5383
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
5386
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
5387
the file, and does it faster.
5388
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
5390
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
5391
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
5392
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
5394
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
5395
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
5396
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
5397
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
5399
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
5400
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
5401
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
5402
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
5404
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
5405
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
5407
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
5408
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
5409
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
5410
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
5413
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
5415
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
5416
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
5418
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
5419
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
5421
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
5422
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
5423
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
5424
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
5428
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
5429
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
5433
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
5434
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
5435
in running it. (Robert Collins)
5437
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
5438
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
5440
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
5441
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
5442
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
5443
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
5444
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
5445
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
5446
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
5447
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5449
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
5450
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
5451
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5453
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
5454
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
5455
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
5456
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
5457
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
5459
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5461
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
5462
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
5463
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
5465
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
5466
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
5474
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
5477
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
5478
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
5481
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
5482
-----------------------
5486
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
5487
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
5492
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
5493
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
5494
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
5495
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
5496
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
5497
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
5498
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
5499
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
5504
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
5505
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
5506
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
5508
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
5509
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
5512
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
5513
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
5514
(John Arbash Meinel)
5516
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
5517
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
5518
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
5519
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
5520
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
5524
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
5527
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
5528
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
5530
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
5531
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
5533
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
5534
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
5535
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
5537
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
5538
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
5540
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
5541
last-changed-revision for directories. The
5542
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
5543
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
5544
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
5546
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
5547
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
5548
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
5550
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
5553
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
5554
-----------------------
5556
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5558
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
5559
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
5560
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
5564
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
5565
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
5567
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
5568
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
5570
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
5572
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
5573
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
5575
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
5576
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
5580
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
5585
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
5586
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
5587
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
5588
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
5590
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
5591
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
5593
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
5594
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
5596
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
5599
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
5600
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
5603
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
5604
-----------------------
5608
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
5609
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
5610
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
5611
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
5612
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
5613
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
5615
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
5616
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
5617
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
5618
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
5619
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
5620
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
5622
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
5624
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
5625
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
5626
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
5627
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
5628
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
5629
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
5630
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
5631
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
5635
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
5636
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
5638
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
5639
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
5640
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
5641
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
5643
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
5644
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
5645
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
5646
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
5647
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
5649
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
5652
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
5655
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
5658
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
5659
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
5662
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
5665
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
5666
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
5668
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
5669
directory. (Martin Pool)
5671
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
5672
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
5673
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
5674
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
5676
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
5677
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
5678
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
5679
in docs/configuration.txt.
5681
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
5682
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
5685
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
5686
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
5687
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
5688
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
5689
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
5690
repositories. (Martin Pool)
5692
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
5693
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
5695
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
5696
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
5698
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
5703
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
5704
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
5705
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
5706
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
5707
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
5708
(John Arbash Meinel)
5710
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
5711
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
5714
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
5715
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
5716
(John Arbash Meinel)
5718
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
5719
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
5720
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
5721
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
5722
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
5723
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
5725
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
5726
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
5727
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
5729
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
5730
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
5731
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
5732
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
5734
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5736
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
5737
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
5738
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
5739
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
5741
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
5742
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
5743
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
5744
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
5746
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
5747
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
5748
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
5750
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
5751
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
5752
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
5754
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
5755
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
5756
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
5757
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
5759
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
5760
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
5761
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
5763
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
5764
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
5765
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
5767
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
5768
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
5769
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
5770
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
5771
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
5772
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
5773
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
5774
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
5775
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
5776
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
5777
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
5781
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
5782
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
5783
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
5785
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
5788
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
5789
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
5790
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
5791
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
5793
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
5794
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
5797
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
5798
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
5800
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
5802
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
5803
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
5804
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
5806
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
5807
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
5809
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
5810
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
5812
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
5813
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
5815
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
5816
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
5818
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
5820
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
5821
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
5825
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
5826
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
5830
--------------------
5834
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
5838
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
5839
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
5840
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
5842
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
5843
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
5844
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
5847
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
5848
-----------------------
5852
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
5853
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
5854
server, then you can write over the http connection.
5855
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5857
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
5860
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
5861
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
5862
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
5864
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
5865
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
5867
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
5870
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
5871
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
5872
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
5873
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
5874
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
5875
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
5877
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
5878
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
5879
should enable you to do::
5881
[/home/user/project]
5882
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
5883
push_location:policy = appendpath
5885
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
5886
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
5889
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
5890
for each file. For example::
5892
$ bzr status --short
5898
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
5899
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
5901
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
5903
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
5904
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
5906
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
5910
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
5911
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
5912
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
5913
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
5915
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
5916
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
5917
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
5919
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5921
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
5922
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
5923
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
5924
(Alexander Belchenko)
5926
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
5929
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
5930
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
5932
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
5936
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
5937
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
5939
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
5940
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
5941
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
5942
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
5943
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
5945
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
5946
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
5948
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
5949
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
5951
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
5953
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
5955
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
5956
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
5957
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
5958
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
5959
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
5961
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
5962
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
5963
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
5964
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
5966
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
5967
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
5969
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
5970
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
5972
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
5973
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
5975
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
5976

No changes from 0.13rc1
5984
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
5985
-----------------------
5989
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
5991
(Daniel Silverstone)
5993
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
5994
operations are substantially faster.
5995
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
5997
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
5998
tree from some other url. For example:
5999
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
6000
(Daniel Silverstone)
6002
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
6003
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
6004
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
6005
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
6007
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
6010
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
6011
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
6012
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
6013
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
6014
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
6015
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
6019
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
6020
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
6023
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
6024
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
6025
(John Arbash Meinel)
6027
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
6028
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
6029
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
6030
(John Arbash Meinel)
6032
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
6033
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
6035
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
6036
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
6038
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
6039
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
6044
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
6045
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
6046
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
6048
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
6049
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
6050
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
6051
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
6053
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
6055
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
6056
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
6058
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
6059
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
6060
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
6061
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
6063
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
6064
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
6065
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
6067
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
6068
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
6069
them as full references rather than integers.
6070
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
6072
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
6073
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
6075
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
6077
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
6078
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
6080
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
6081
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
6083
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
6084
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
6085
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
6086
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
6088
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
6089
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
6090
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
6092
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
6093
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
6095
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
6096
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
6097
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
6098
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
6099
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
6103
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
6104
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
6107
--------------------
6111
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
6112
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
6113
(John Arbash Meinel)
6115
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
6116
-----------------------
6120
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
6121
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
6122
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
6123
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
6125
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
6126
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
6128
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
6130
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
6131
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
6132
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
6133
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
6135
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
6136
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
6137
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
6138
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
6139
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
6141
API INCOMPATABILITY:
6143
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
6144
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
6148
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
6149
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
6150
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
6152
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
6153
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
6154
(John Arbash Meinel)
6156
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
6157
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
6158
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
6160
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
6161
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
6164
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
6165
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
6166
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6168
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
6169
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
6170
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
6171
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
6172
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
6173
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6175
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
6176
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
6177
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
6180
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
6181
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
6185
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
6186
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
6187
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
6190
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
6191
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
6193
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
6194
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
6195
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
6197
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
6198
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
6200
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
6201
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
6202
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
6203
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
6205
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
6206
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
6208
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
6209
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
6210
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
6212
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
6213
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
6215
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
6217
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
6218
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
6223
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
6224
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
6225
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
6226
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
6228
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
6229
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
6230
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6233
--------------------
6235
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
6237
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
6238
-----------------------
6242
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
6244
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
6247
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
6248
-----------------------
6252
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
6253
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
6254
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
6255
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
6256
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
6257
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
6258
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
6260
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
6261
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
6262
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
6264
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
6266
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
6267
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
6269
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
6270
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
6271
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
6274
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
6275
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
6276
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
6277
(John Arbash Meinel)
6279
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
6280
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
6281
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
6282
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
6285
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
6286
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
6287
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
6288
(John Arbash Meinel)
6292
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
6293
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
6295
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
6297
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
6298
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
6299
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
6301
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
6302
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
6304
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
6305
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
6307
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
6308
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
6310
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
6311
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
6313
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
6315
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
6316
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
6318
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
6319
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
6321
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
6322
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
6324
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
6325
(John Arbash Meinel)
6327
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
6328
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
6329
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
6331
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
6332
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
6334
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
6335
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
6336
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
6337
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
6339
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
6340
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
6341
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
6343
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
6344
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
6348
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
6352
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
6353
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
6354
(John Arbash Meinel)
6356
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
6357
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
6358
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
6359
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
6361
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
6364
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
6365
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
6366
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
6368
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
6369
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
6371
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
6372
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
6373
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
6375
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
6376
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
6377
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
6378
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
6379
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
6380
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
6381
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
6382
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
6383
caller to repeat their request.
6384
(John Arbash Meinel)
6386
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
6387
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
6389
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
6390
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
6392
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
6393
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
6394
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
6395
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
6396
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
6397
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
6398
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
6400
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
6401
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
6402
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
6403
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
6404
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
6405
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
6406
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
6407
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
6410
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
6411
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
6412
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
6414
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
6415
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
6417
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
6418
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
6420
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
6421
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
6425
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
6426
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
6428
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
6429
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
6430
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
6432
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
6433
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
6434
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
6437
--------------------
6440
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
6441
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
6443
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
6444
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
6445
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
6446
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
6447
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
6449
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
6450
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
6451
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
6453
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
6454
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
6456
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
6457
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
6458
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6462
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
6464
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
6465
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
6466
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
6468
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
6470
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
6472
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
6473
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
6474
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
6475
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
6477
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
6478
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
6479
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
6480
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
6481
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
6483
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
6484
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
6486
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
6487
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
6489
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
6490
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
6492
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
6493
in handling of revision properties.
6494
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
6496
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
6497
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
6501
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
6502
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
6503
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
6504
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
6505
(John Arbash Meinel)
6507
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
6508
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
6509
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
6511
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
6512
---------------------
6516
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
6517
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
6518
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
6519
specific one '.bzrignore'.
6520
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
6521
a more conservative list than the old default.
6522
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
6523
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
6524
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
6525
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
6527
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
6528
to more locations than just branch locations.
6533
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
6534
revno:N:branch. For example,
6535
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
6536
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
6538
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
6539
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
6540
the path of a file that has been versioned.
6541
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
6542
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
6543
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
6544
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
6545
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
6548
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
6549
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
6550
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
6553
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
6554
(Alexander Belchenko)
6556
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
6558
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
6561
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
6562
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
6563
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
6564
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
6565
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
6566
(John Arbash Meinel)
6568
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
6569
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
6570
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
6571
grained analysis of performance.
6572
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
6574
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
6575
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
6577
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
6578
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
6579
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
6580
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
6581
file. (Robert Collins).
6583
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
6584
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
6585
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
6587
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
6588
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
6591
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
6592
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
6594
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
6595
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
6596
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
6597
the same way you would apply another branch.
6598
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
6600
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
6601
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
6603
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
6606
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
6609
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
6610
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
6611
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
6613
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
6614
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
6615
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
6617
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
6618
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
6620
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
6621
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
6622
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
6623
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
6624
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
6626
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
6627
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
6629
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
6630
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
6631
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
6632
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
6633
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
6634
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
6635
branch is as much as 4x faster.
6636
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
6638
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
6639
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
6640
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
6644
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
6646
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
6648
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
6649
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6651
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
6652
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
6654
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
6655
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
6657
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
6659
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
6660
(John Arbash Meinel)
6662
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
6663
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
6665
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
6666
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
6669
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
6670
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
6672
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
6673
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
6675
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
6676
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
6677
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
6678
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
6680
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
6681
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
6683
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
6685
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
6686
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
6688
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
6690
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
6692
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
6693
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
6695
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
6696
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
6698
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
6699
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
6700
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
6702
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
6703
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
6704
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
6706
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
6707
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
6709
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
6710
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
6712
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
6713
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
6715
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
6716
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
6718
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
6719
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
6721
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
6722
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
6723
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
6725
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
6727
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
6728
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
6732
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
6733
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
6734
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
6736
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
6737
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
6739
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
6740
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
6741
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
6743
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
6744
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
6746
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
6747
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
6750
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
6751
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
6752
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6754
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
6755
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
6756
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6758
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
6759
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
6760
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
6762
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
6763
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
6764
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
6766
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
6767
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
6768
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
6770
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
6771
instead. (Robert Collins)
6773
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

6782
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
6783
---------------------
6787
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
6788
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
6790
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
6791
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6793
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
6794
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
6795
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
6799
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
6801
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
6802
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
6804
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
6808
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
6809
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
6810
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
6811
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
6815
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
6816
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
6817
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
6821
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
6822
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
6823
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6827
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
6828
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
6833
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
6835
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
6836
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
6837
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
6838
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
6839
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
6840
will keep the same format.
6842
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
6843
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
6844
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
6845
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
6846
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
6848
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
6849
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
6850
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
6851
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
6852
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
6853
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
6854
indicating the current revision of the branch.
6856
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
6857
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
6858
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
6859
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
6860
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
6862
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
6863
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
6864
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
6870
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
6871
convention. Paths now take the form::
6873
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
6875
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
6877
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
6878
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
6880
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
6881
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
6882
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
6884
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
6885
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
6886
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
6887
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
6889
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
6890
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
6891
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
6893
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
6895
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
6897
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
6898
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
6901
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
6902
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
6905
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
6907
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
6908
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
6909
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
6912
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
6914
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
6916
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
6919
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
6920
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
6922
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
6923
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
6926
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
6927
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
6930
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
6932
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
6934
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
6935
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
6937
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
6938
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
6939
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
6940
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
6941
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
6942
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
6944
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
6946
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
6947
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
6950
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
6951
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
6953
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
6954
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
6956
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
6958
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
6959
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
6960
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
6961
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
6962
specification by Martin Pool.
6963
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
6965
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
6968
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
6969
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
6971
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
6972
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
6973
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
6975
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
6977
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
6978
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
6983
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
6984
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6986
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
6988
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
6990
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
6993
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
6994
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
6995
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
6996
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
7000
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
7001
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
7002
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
7003
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
7005
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
7006
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
7007
tried. (Martin Pool)
7009
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
7012
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
7014
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
7015
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
7016
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
7018
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
7019
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
7021
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
7022
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
7023
paths. (Robert Collins)
7025
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
7026
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
7027
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
7029
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
7030
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
7031
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
7033
* Progress bars are now nested - see
7034
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
7035
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
7037
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
7040
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
7043
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
7045
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
7047
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
7048
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
7049
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
7052
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
7053
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
7055
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
7056
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
7057
check. (Robert Collins)
7059
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
7060
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
7064
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
7065
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
7067
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
7068
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
7069
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
7070
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
7072
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
7073
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
7074
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
7075
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
7076
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
7078
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
7079
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
7080
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
7082
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
7084
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
7085
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
7092
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
7093
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
7095
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
7096
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
7097
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
7100
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
7101
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
7103
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
7104
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
7105
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
7106
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
7107
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
7109
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
7110
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
7111
used. (Robert Collins)
7113
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
7114
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
7117
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
7118
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
7119
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
7121
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
7124
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
7125
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
7129
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
7130
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
7132
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
7134
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
7136
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
7137
tree. (Robert Collins)
7139
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
7140
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
7141
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
7144
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
7147
* Tweaks to short log printing
7149
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
7152
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
7153
occurs. (Martin Pool)
7155
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
7156
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
7158
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
7159
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
7161
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
7162
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
7163
settings. (Magnus Therning)
7165
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
7166
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
7168
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
7169
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
7172
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
7173
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
7175
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
7176
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
7178
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
7179
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
7181
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
7184
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
7185
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
7187
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
7188
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
7190
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
7191
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
7192
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
7196
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
7198
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
7200
* Error when run with -OO
7202
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
7205
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
7207
* Change status to 3 for all errors
7209
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
7210
ignored by diff and status
7212
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
7213
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
7215
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
7217
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
7219
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
7220
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
7222
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
7223
email address. (Marien Zwart)
7225
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
7228
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
7229
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
7231
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
7233
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
7234
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
7236
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
7239
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
7240
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
7242
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
7246
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
7247
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
7249
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
7251
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
7253
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
7255
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
7256
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
7257
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
7259
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
7261
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
7262
(John Arbash Meinel)
7264
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
7266
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
7267
If adding a new test script please add that to
7268
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
7270
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
7271
imported. (Martin Pool)
7273
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
7274
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
7275
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
7276
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
7277
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
7280
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
7281
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
7282
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
7284
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
7285
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
7286
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
7288
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
7289
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
7290
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
7291
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
7292
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
7295
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
7296
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
7301
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
7302
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
7304
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
7305
function. (Robert Collins)
7307
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
7308
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
7309
if needed). (Robert Collins)
7311
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
7312
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
7315
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
7316
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
7317
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
7318
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
7319
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
7320
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
7321
version. (Robert Collins)
7323
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
7324
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
7326
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
7327
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
7328
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
7329
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
7330
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
7331
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
7333
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
7336
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
7346
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
7348
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
7350
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
7353
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
7354
query method. (Robert Collins)
7356
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
7359
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
7362
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
7365
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
7366
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
7367
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
7368
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
7370
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
7371
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
7372
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
7373
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
7375
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
7376
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
7383
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
7386
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
7390
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
7391
a separator, not ':'.
7394
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
7395
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
7396
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
7398
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
7399
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
7402
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
7403
has been added that suppresses all output.
7405
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
7408
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
7409
Goffredo Baroncelli.
7411
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
7412
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
7414
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
7415
a revision. (Robert Collins)
7417
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
7418
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
7419
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
7420
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
7422
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
7424
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
7425
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
7427
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
7428
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
7430
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
7431
output directory, if one was supplied.
7433
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
7434
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
7435
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
7436
parameters. (Robert Collins)
7438
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
7440
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
7441
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
7443
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
7444
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
7445
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
7447
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
7448
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
7450
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
7453
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
7455
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
7459
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
7460
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
7461
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
7463
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
7464
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
7465
related questions. (Robert Collins)
7467
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
7468
is given. (Martin Pool)
7470
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
7471
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
7472
file. (Robert Collins)
7474
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
7479
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
7480
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
7481
representation. (Martin Pool).
7483
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
7484
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
7485
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
7487
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
7490
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
7491
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
7494
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
7495
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
7496
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
7497
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
7498
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
7500
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
7501
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
7502
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
7503
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
7504
python path. (Robert Collins)
7506
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
7507
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
7508
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
7509
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
7511
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
7512
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
7514
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
7515
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
7518
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
7519
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
7520
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
7522
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
7523
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
7524
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
7526
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
7527
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
7529
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
7530
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
7531
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
7534
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
7535
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
7536
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
7537
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
7540
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
7543
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
7544
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
7547
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
7548
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
7549
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
7551
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
7552
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
7553
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
7555
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
7556
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
7557
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
7559
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
7560
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
7562
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
7563
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
7564
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
7565
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
7566
caller. (Robert Collins)
7568
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
7569
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
7572
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
7573
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
7576
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
7578
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
7579
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
7583
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
7584
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
7586
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
7587
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
7590
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
7591
--------------------
7595
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
7596
allow directories to be listed.
7598
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
7599
upgrading branch format.
7603
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
7611
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
7612
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
7613
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
7614
high-latency connections.
7618
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
7621
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
7622
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
7624
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
7625
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
7626
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
7627
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
7629
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
7630
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
7632
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
7633
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
7635
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
7636
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
7637
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
7639
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
7640
for files with only a change to their executable status.
7641
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
7644
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
7645
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
7647
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
7648
different partial views of history.
7650
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
7651
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
7655
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
7656
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
7657
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
7659
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
7660
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
7663
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
7664
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
7666
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
7669
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
7670
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
7672
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
7673
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
7674
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
7675
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
7677
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
7679
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
7680
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
7683
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
7684
Contributed by Robert Collins.
7686
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
7687
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
7688
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
7693
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
7694
for your viewing pleasure.
7696
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
7697
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
7699
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
7700
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
7701
handling of such circumstances.
7703
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
7704
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
7705
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
7707
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
7709
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
7710
we call them revisions not patches.
7712
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
7713
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
7715
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
7716
giving the revision *of that file*.
7718
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
7719
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
7720
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
7724
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
7725
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
7727
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
7728
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
7731
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
7732
--------------------
7736
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
7738
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
7741
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
7743
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
7745
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
7746
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
7750
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
7751
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
7753
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
7754
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
7755
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
7756
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
7759
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
7760
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
7764
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
7766
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
7767
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
7770
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
7771
--------------------
7775
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
7776
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
7777
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
7778
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
7781
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
7784
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
7785
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
7786
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
7787
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
7788
for the operating system is still tried.
7790
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
7791
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
7792
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
7797
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
7801
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
7803
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
7806
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
7812
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
7814
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
7817
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
7818
--------------------
7822
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
7823
help with intelligent shell completion.
7825
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
7830
* Much better merge support.
7832
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
7833
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
7839
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
7840
mention revisions that are not present.
7842
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
7844
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
7846
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
7847
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
7852
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
7854
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
7855
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
7861
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
7862
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
7867
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
7868
--------------------
7872
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
7873
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
7875
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
7877
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
7878
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
7880
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
7883
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
7885
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
7888
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
7889
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
7891
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
7892
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
7893
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
7898
* Faster working tree operations.
7903
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
7904
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
7905
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
7906
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
7908
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
7909
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
7910
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
7911
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
7912
standard plugins directory.
7914
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
7915
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
7916
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
7917
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
7919
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
7920
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
7922
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
7925
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
7926
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
7927
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
7929
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
7930
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
7932
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
7933
line options must come before the command name because they
7934
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
7935
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
7938
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
7940
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
7941
is available with ``--short``.
7946
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
7949
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
7950
---------------------
7954
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
7955
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
7957
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
7958
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
7959
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
7960
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
7962
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
7963
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
7964
with the ``--forward`` option.
7966
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
7967
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
7973
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
7974
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
7976
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
7978
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
7979
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
7981
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
7983
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
7984
either read or write mode.
7986
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
7988
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
7991
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
7993
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
7994
suggested by LarstiQ.
7996
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
7997
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
7999
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
8002
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
8003
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
8005
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
8006
haven't changed since the previous time.
8008
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
8009
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
8011
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
8013
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
8015
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
8016
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
8018
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
8019
options through to an external GNU diff.
8021
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
8024
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
8030
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
8031
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
8033
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
8039
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
8040
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
8043
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
8044
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
8046
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
8047
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
8049
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
8050
under a different version.
8052
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
8057
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
8059
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
8060
Scott James Remnant.
8062
* Better help messages for many commands.
8064
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
8065
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
8067
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
8068
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
8070
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
8072
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
8074
* New AtomicFile class.
8076
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
8081
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
8082
2.4 is now only recommended.
8085
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
8086
---------------------
8090
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
8091
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
8093
* More default ignore patterns.
8095
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
8096
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
8098
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
8100
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
8103
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
8108
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
8109
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
8110
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
8111
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
8112
there are DNS problems.
8114
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
8119
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
8121
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
8123
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
8124
trailing newlines properly.
8129
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
8132
* More tests in test.sh.
8134
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
8135
directory and delete it when done.
8137
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
8142
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
8145
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
8149
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
8150
---------------------
8154
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
8157
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
8159
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
8162
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
8165
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
8167
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
8171
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
8172
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
8177
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
8178
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
8183
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
8187
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
8195
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
8198
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
8199
-----------------------------------
8203
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
8205
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
8206
rather than replacing it.
8208
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
8212
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
8215
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
8216
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
8218
* Performance improvements.
8220
* New global --profile option.
8222
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
8223
the root directory only.
8226
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
8227
---------------------
8231
* More information from info command.
8233
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
8235
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
8236
committing to stores.
8238
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
8242
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
8246
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
8247
installation easier.
8249
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
