13
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
14
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
15
command may need to be adjusted.
16
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
20
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
21
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
22
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
24
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
27
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
28
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
29
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
32
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --format
33
gnu-changelog``. (Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
35
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
38
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
39
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
41
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
42
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
47
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
48
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
50
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
51
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
52
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
54
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
55
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
57
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
58
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
59
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
62
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
63
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
64
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
66
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
67
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
68
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
69
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
71
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
74
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
75
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
77
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
78
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
80
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
81
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
82
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
84
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
88
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
89
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
90
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
92
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
93
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
96
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
97
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
98
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
100
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
101
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
103
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
104
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
106
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
107
(James Westby, #174539)
109
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
110
error branching from old repositories.
111
(Martin Pool, #321695)
113
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
114
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
116
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
117
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
118
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
119
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
121
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
122
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko)
124
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
125
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
127
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
128
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
132
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
133
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
137
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
138
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
139
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
142
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.
143
(Daniel Watkins, #327421, #327425)
147
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
148
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
149
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
150
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
151
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
153
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
154
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
155
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
156
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
157
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
158
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
160
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
161
"author" argument being deprecated.
163
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
165
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
166
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
167
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
168
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
170
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
171
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
172
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
174
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
175
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
176
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
178
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
179
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
181
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
182
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
183
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
184
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
188
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
189
free of virtual file system methods.
190
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
192
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
193
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
194
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
196
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
197
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
198
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
199
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
200
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
201
(Robert Collins, #334187)
203
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
205
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
206
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
208
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
209
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
210
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
211
stream the operation.
212
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
214
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
215
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
217
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
218
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
219
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
220
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
221
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
223
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
224
branch object. (Robert Collins)
226
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
227
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
228
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
230
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
231
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
234
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
237
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
238
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
239
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
241
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
242
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
243
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
245
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
246
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
247
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
249
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
250
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
251
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
253
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
254
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
255
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
256
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
257
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
259
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
260
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
261
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
262
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
263
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
264
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
266
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
267
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
268
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
269
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
270
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
272
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
273
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
275
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
276
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
278
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
279
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
280
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
281
to access private data in record to obtain content more
282
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
284
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
285
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.
289
bzr 1.12 "1234567890" 2009-02-13
290
--------------------------------
292
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
293
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
294
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
295
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
296
by showing the rate of network IO.
300
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
301
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
305
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
306
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
309
bzr 1.12rc1 "1234567890" 2009-02-10
310
-----------------------------------
312
COMPATIBILITY BREAKS:
314
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
315
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
316
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
317
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
319
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
320
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
321
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
324
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
325
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
326
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
327
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
329
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
330
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
331
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
334
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
338
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
339
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
340
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
343
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
344
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
345
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
347
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
348
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
349
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
350
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
351
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
352
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
353
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
354
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
355
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
360
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
363
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
366
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
367
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
368
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
370
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
371
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
372
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
373
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
374
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
376
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
377
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
379
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
380
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
381
level for better precision.
384
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
385
rules. (Marius Kruger)
387
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
388
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
389
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
391
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
392
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
393
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
396
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
397
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
398
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
402
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
404
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
406
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
407
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
408
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
410
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
411
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
412
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
413
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
414
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
415
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
417
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
418
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
420
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
421
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
423
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
424
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
425
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
427
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
428
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
429
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
432
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
433
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
435
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
436
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
437
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
438
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
440
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
441
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
443
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
445
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)
449
* Improved plugin developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
453
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
454
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
457
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
458
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
460
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
461
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
463
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
464
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
466
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
467
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
468
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
469
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
471
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
472
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
473
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
477
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
478
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
479
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
480
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
481
compile buffers, are such an example).
484
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
485
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
488
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
489
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
490
efficient way of doing the mapping.
493
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
494
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
496
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
497
formatters to retrict the output.
501
bzr 1.11 "Eyes up!" 2009-01-19
502
------------------------------
504
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
505
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
506
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
507
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
508
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
510
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
511
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
514
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
515
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.
519
* Fix failing test when CompiledChunksToLines is not available.
522
* Stacked branches don't repeatedly open their transport connection.
527
bzr 1.11rc1 "Eyes up!" 2009-01-09
528
---------------------------------
532
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
533
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
537
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
538
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
540
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
541
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
542
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
543
implement other plugins.
546
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
551
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
552
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
554
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
555
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
557
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
558
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
559
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
560
processes which drag in shell extensions.
563
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
564
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
565
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
566
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
567
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
569
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
570
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
571
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
572
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
573
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
577
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
578
control directory. (#139691)
580
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
581
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
583
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
584
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
586
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
587
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
588
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
590
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
591
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
593
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
594
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
595
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
597
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
598
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
600
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
603
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
604
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
605
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
607
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
608
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
610
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
611
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
612
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
614
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
615
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
616
in the appropriate sections.
617
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
619
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
620
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
623
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
624
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
626
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
627
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
629
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
630
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
632
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
633
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
634
work better with how it splits its requests.
635
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
637
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
638
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
639
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
641
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
644
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
646
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
647
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
649
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
654
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
655
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
656
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
661
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
662
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
663
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
664
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
666
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
667
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
669
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
670
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
671
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
672
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
674
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
675
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
676
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
677
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
681
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
682
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
683
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
685
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
686
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
687
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
688
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
690
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
691
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
692
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
697
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
698
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
701
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
702
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
703
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
706
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
707
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
708
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
709
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
711
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
712
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
713
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
715
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
716
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
717
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
718
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
720
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
721
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
722
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
723
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
726
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
727
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
729
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
730
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
731
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
733
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
734
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
735
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
736
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
738
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
739
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
740
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
743
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
744
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
745
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
746
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
747
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
748
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
749
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
751
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
752
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)
759
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
760
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
761
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
762
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
765
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
769
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
770
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
771
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
772
(Martin Pool, #303856)
774
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
775
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
776
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
777
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
778
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)
781
bzr 1.10rc1 2008-11-28
782
----------------------
784
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
785
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
786
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
787
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
788
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
792
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
793
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
795
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
800
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
801
history just to set the last revision info.
802
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
804
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
805
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
806
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
807
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
809
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
810
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
811
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
812
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
815
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
816
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
818
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
819
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
820
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
821
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
822
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
824
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
825
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
826
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
827
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
831
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
832
(Martin Pool, #289148)
834
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
835
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
837
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
838
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
839
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
840
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
842
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
843
starting with a dotted revno.
844
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
846
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
847
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
848
(Martin Pool, #288751)
850
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
851
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
852
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
854
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
855
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
856
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
858
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
859
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
860
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
861
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
863
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
864
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
865
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
867
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
868
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
872
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
873
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
874
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
875
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
877
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
878
have changed incompatibly.
880
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
881
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
882
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
883
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
884
don't need to change.
886
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
887
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
891
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
892
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
894
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
900
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
901
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
902
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
903
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
904
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
905
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
909
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
910
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
912
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
914
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
915
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.
916
(John Arbash Meinel, #293746)
919
bzr 1.9rc1 2008-10-31
920
---------------------
924
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
925
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
927
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
928
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
929
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
930
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
934
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
935
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
936
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
937
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
938
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
939
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
941
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
942
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
944
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
945
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
946
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
948
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
949
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
950
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
953
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
954
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
956
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
957
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
959
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
960
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
962
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
963
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
964
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
965
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
966
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
967
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
968
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
969
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
970
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
971
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
975
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
976
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
978
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
979
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
981
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
982
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
983
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
985
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
986
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
987
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
989
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
990
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
991
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
993
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
994
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
995
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
996
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
997
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
998
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
1000
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
1001
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
1003
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
1004
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
1006
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
1007
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
1008
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
1009
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
1010
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
1012
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
1013
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
1014
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
1015
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
1019
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
1023
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
1027
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
1028
configuration of authetication credentials.
1034
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
1035
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
1036
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
1037
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
1038
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
1042
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
1043
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
1047
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
1048
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
1051
bzr 1.8rc1 2008-10-07
1052
---------------------
1056
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
1057
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
1058
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
1059
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
1060
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
1062
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
1063
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
1065
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
1066
server. (Marius Kruger)
1068
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
1069
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
1070
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
1071
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
1072
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
1073
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
1077
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
1078
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
1079
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
1081
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
1085
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
1086
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
1087
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
1088
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
1090
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
1091
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
1094
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
1095
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
1098
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
1101
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
1103
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
1104
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
1106
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
1107
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
1109
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
1110
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
1111
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
1112
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
1113
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
1114
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
1115
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
1116
operations. (Robert Collins)
1118
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
1120
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
1121
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
1122
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
1126
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
1127
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
1128
(Martin Pool, #279381)
1130
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
1131
repository now preserves the repository format.
1132
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
1134
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
1135
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
1137
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
1138
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
1140
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
1142
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
1144
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
1147
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
1148
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
1149
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
1151
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
1152
is in a different repository than the current one.
1153
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
1155
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
1156
(David Futcher, #242106)
1158
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
1159
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1161
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
1162
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
1163
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
1164
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
1166
* Trivial documentation fix.
1167
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
1169
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
1170
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
1171
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
1172
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
1176
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
1180
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
1181
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
1182
to use. (Robert Collins)
1184
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
1185
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
1186
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
1188
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
1189
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
1190
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
1191
they want. (Robert Collins)
1195
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
1196
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
1197
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
1199
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
1200
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
1203
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
1206
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
1207
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
1209
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
1214
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
1215
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
1217
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
1218
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
1219
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
1221
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
1222
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
1223
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
1225
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
1226
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1228
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
1229
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
1231
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
1232
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
1234
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
1235
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
1236
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
1237
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept
1242
bzr 1.7.1 2008-10-01
1243
--------------------
1245
No changes from 1.7.1rc1.
1248
bzr 1.7.1rc1 2008-09-24
1249
-----------------------
1251
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
1252
file paths when we encounter complex history.
1256
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
1257
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
1258
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
1259
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.
1260
(John Arbash Meinel)
1266
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
1267
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
1268
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
1269
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
1270
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
1271
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.
1275
* Some small updates to the win32 installer. Include localization
1276
files found in plugins, and include the builtin distutils as part of
1277
packaging qbzr. (Mark Hammond)
1280
bzr 1.7rc2 2008-09-17
1281
---------------------
1283
A few bug fixes from 1.7rc1. The biggest change is a new
1284
``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
1285
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
1286
connect to the stacked-on location.
1290
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
1291
repository now preserves the repository format.
1292
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
1294
* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect
1295
to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
1297
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
1300
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
1304
bzr 1.7rc1 2008-09-09
1305
---------------------
1307
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
1308
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
1309
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
1310
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
1311
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
1312
it in a future repository format.
1317
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
1320
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
1321
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
1322
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
1324
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
1325
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
1326
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
1330
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
1331
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
1333
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
1337
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
1338
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
1341
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
1342
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
1344
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
1345
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
1348
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
1349
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
1350
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
1351
(John Arbash Meinel)
1353
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
1354
(Martin Pool, #261315)
1356
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
1357
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
1358
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
1359
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
1360
(John Arbash Meinel)
1362
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
1363
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
1364
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
1365
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
1366
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
1367
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
1368
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
1369
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
1370
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
1371
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1375
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
1376
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
1378
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
1379
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
1380
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
1382
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
1383
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
1384
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
1386
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
1387
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
1388
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
1389
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
1390
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
1391
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
1393
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
1394
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
1396
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
1397
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
1399
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
1400
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
1401
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
1402
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
1403
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
1404
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
1406
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
1407
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
1409
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
1410
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
1412
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
1413
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
1414
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
1415
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
1417
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
1418
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
1420
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
1421
assuming the host name is ascii.
1422
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
1424
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
1425
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
1429
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
1433
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
1435
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
1436
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
1437
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
1440
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
1441
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1443
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
1444
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
1446
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
1447
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
1451
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
1452
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
1453
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
1454
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
1456
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
1460
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
1461
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
1462
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1464
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
1469
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
1470
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
1473
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
1474
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
1475
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
1476
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
1477
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1479
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
1480
is unknown in both source and target.
1481
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
1483
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
1484
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
1485
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
1486
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1488
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
1489
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
1490
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
1491
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1494
bzr 1.6.1 2008-09-05
1495
--------------------
1497
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
1498
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
1499
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
1502
bzr 1.6.1rc2 2008-09-03
1503
-----------------------
1507
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
1508
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
1509
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
1510
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
1513
bzr 1.6.1rc1 2008-08-29
1514
-----------------------
1516
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
1517
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
1518
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
1519
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
1520
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
1521
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
1522
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
1523
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
1524
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
1525
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
1526
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
1527
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
1531
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
1532
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
1533
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
1534
start of the string (causing more copies).
1535
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
1536
especially for projects with large files.
1537
(John Arbash Meinel)
1539
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
1540
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
1541
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
1542
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
1543
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
1545
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
1546
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
1547
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
1548
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
1549
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.
1550
(John Arbash Meinel, #262333)
1556
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
1557
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
1558
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
1559
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
1560
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
1561
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
1562
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
1563
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
1564
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
1567
bzr 1.6rc5 2008-08-19
1568
---------------------
1572
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
1573
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
1574
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
1575
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
1576
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
1579
bzr 1.6rc4 2008-08-18
1580
---------------------
1584
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
1585
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
1586
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
1589
bzr 1.6rc3 2008-08-14
1590
---------------------
1594
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
1595
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
1600
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
1601
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
1602
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
1607
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
1608
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
1609
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
1611
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
1612
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
1613
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
1614
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
1615
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
1616
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
1617
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
1620
bzr 1.6rc2 2008-08-13
1621
---------------------
1623
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
1628
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
1629
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
1631
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
1632
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
1635
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
1636
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
1637
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
1638
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
1639
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
1641
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
1642
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1644
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
1645
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
1647
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
1648
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
1650
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
1651
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
1652
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
1653
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
1654
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
1655
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
1658
bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
1659
---------------------
1661
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
1662
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
1663
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
1664
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
1665
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
1669
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
1670
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
1671
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
1675
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
1676
check. (Daniel Watkins)
1678
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
1679
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
1681
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
1682
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
1683
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1685
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
1688
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
1689
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
1690
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
1691
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
1692
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
1693
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
1694
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1696
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
1697
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
1698
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
1702
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
1703
physical repository boundaries.
1704
(Martin Pool, #252428)
1706
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
1707
(Martin Pool, #206258)
1709
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
1710
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
1713
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
1716
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
1717
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
1718
that Python is running from.
1719
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
1721
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
1722
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
1723
(Robert Collins, #150438)
1725
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
1726
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
1728
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
1729
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
1730
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
1732
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
1733
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
1735
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
1736
(James Westby, #248448)
1740
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
1741
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
1742
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
1745
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
1746
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
1749
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
1750
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
1751
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
1752
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
1753
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
1754
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
1757
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
1758
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1760
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
1761
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
1762
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
1763
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
1764
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
1765
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
1769
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
1770
putting together a real history without having to create a full
1771
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
1772
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
1773
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
1774
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1776
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
1777
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
1778
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
1780
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
1783
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
1784
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
1786
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
1790
bzr 1.6beta3 2008-07-17
1791
-----------------------
1793
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
1794
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
1795
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
1796
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
1801
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
1802
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
1803
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
1805
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
1806
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
1807
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
1808
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
1809
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
1812
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
1814
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
1815
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
1816
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
1821
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
1822
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
1825
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
1826
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
1827
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
1828
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
1830
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
1831
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
1832
(Christophe Troestler)
1834
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
1835
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
1837
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
1838
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
1839
faster. The new request method name is
1840
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1844
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
1845
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
1846
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
1847
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
1848
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
1850
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
1851
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
1853
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
1854
requires a branch to be present.
1855
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
1857
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
1859
(Martin Pool, #205230)
1861
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
1862
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
1863
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
1864
(Martin Pool, #240161)
1866
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
1867
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
1869
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
1871
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
1873
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
1874
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
1875
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
1876
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
1877
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
1879
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
1880
(Martin Pool, #172870)
1882
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
1883
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
1885
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
1887
(Matt McClure, #209281)
1889
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
1890
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
1892
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
1893
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
1897
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
1900
* Updated developer documentation.
1905
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
1906
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
1908
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
1909
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
1910
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
1911
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
1915
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
1916
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
1917
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
1918
Repository docstring for more details.
1921
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
1922
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
1923
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
1925
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
1926
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
1929
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
1930
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
1931
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
1932
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
1936
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
1937
(Alexander Belchenko)
1939
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
1940
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
1941
containing a given location.
1944
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
1945
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
1946
storage. (Robert Collins)
1948
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
1951
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
1952
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
1956
bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
1957
-----------------------
1959
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
1960
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
1961
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
1966
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
1967
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
1968
reading from the repository.)
1969
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
1971
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
1972
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1974
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
1975
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
1978
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
1979
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
1980
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
1982
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
1983
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
1984
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
1986
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
1987
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
1989
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
1990
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
1991
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
1992
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
1996
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
1998
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
1999
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
2000
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
2003
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
2004
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
2008
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2012
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
2013
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
2017
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
2018
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
2019
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
2020
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
2021
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
2023
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
2024
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
2028
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
2029
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
2031
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
2032
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
2035
bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
2036
-----------------------
2039
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
2040
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
2041
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
2042
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
2043
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
2044
and future extensions.
2047
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2049
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
2050
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
2051
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
2052
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
2053
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
2054
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
2055
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
2056
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
2060
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
2061
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
2062
(John Arbash Meinel)
2066
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
2067
load. (James Westby)
2071
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
2072
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
2073
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
2074
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2076
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
2077
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
2078
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
2080
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
2081
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
2083
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
2084
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
2085
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
2087
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
2088
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
2089
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
2090
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
2091
step closer to not using full revision history.
2092
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
2096
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
2097
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
2099
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
2100
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
2102
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
2103
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
2105
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
2106
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
2107
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
2108
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
2110
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
2111
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
2112
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
2113
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
2115
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
2116
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
2117
in use by another process.
2120
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
2121
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
2122
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
2123
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
2125
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
2126
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
2128
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
2129
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
2130
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
2132
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
2133
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
2134
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
2136
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
2138
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
2140
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
2141
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
2143
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
2144
under vim on Mac OS X.
2145
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2147
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
2148
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
2152
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
2153
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
2155
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
2156
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
2159
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
2160
and about use of Python reprs.
2161
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
2163
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
2167
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
2170
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
2171
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
2173
* New helper function for splitting test suites
2174
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
2178
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
2179
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
2180
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
2181
(John Arbash Meinel)
2185
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
2186
instead. (Martin Pool)
2188
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
2189
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
2190
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
2191
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
2193
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
2194
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
2195
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
2196
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
2197
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
2199
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
2200
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
2201
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
2202
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
2203
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
2204
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
2206
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
2207
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
2210
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
2211
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
2214
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
2215
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
2216
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
2217
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
2219
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
2220
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
2221
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
2223
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
2224
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
2225
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
2226
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
2227
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
2230
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
2231
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
2232
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
2233
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
2236
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
2237
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
2238
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
2239
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
2240
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
2242
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
2249
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
2250
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
2251
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
2255
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
2256
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
2257
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
2261
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
2262
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
2266
bzr 1.5rc1 2008-05-09
2267
---------------------
2269
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2273
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
2274
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
2275
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
2276
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
2282
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
2283
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
2285
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
2286
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
2288
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
2293
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
2294
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
2296
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
2297
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
2299
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
2300
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
2301
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
2303
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
2304
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
2305
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
2307
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
2310
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
2311
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
2313
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
2314
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
2316
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
2317
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
2319
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
2320
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
2322
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
2323
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
2324
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
2326
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
2327
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
2329
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
2330
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
2332
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
2333
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
2334
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
2335
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
2337
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
2338
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
2341
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
2342
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
2343
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
2345
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
2346
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
2347
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
2348
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
2349
every revision each side had in common.
2350
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2352
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
2353
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
2355
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
2356
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
2357
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
2358
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
2362
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
2363
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
2364
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
2365
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
2367
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
2369
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
2371
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
2372
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
2376
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
2377
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
2378
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
2380
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
2381
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
2382
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
2383
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
2385
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
2386
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2388
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
2389
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
2390
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
2391
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2393
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
2394
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
2395
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
2396
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2400
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
2401
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
2402
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
2404
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
2406
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
2407
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
2409
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
2410
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2412
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
2413
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
2417
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
2418
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
2419
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
2421
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
2422
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
2423
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
2426
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
2427
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
2430
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.
2437
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
2438
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
2439
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
2440
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
2441
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
2442
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
2443
and faster performance.
2447
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
2448
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
2449
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

(John Arbash Meinel, Andrew Bennetts, #214894)
2453
bzr 1.4rc2 2008-04-21
2454
---------------------
2458
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
2459
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
2460
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
2462
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
2463
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
2465
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
2466
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
2468
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
2469
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
2470
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
2471
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
2472
every revision each side had in common.
2473
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2476
bzr 1.4rc1 2008-04-11
2477
---------------------
2481
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
2483
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
2484
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
2486
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
2487
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
2488
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
2490
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
2491
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
2492
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
2493
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
2494
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
2495
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
2498
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
2499
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
2500
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
2501
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
2505
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
2507
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
2508
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
2509
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
2511
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
2512
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
2513
See the User Reference for signature details.
2514
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
2516
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
2517
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
2521
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
2522
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
2523
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
2524
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2526
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
2527
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
2529
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
2530
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
2531
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
2534
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
2537
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
2538
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
2539
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
2541
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
2544
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
2545
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
2547
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
2548
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
2550
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
2551
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
2552
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
2554
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
2555
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
2556
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
2557
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
2558
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
2560
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
2561
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
2563
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
2564
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2568
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
2569
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
2570
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
2571
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
2572
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
2573
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
2575
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
2576
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
2578
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
2579
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
2580
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
2582
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
2583
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
2585
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
2586
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
2587
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
2588
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2590
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
2591
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
2592
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
2593
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
2594
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
2596
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
2598
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
2599
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
2601
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
2603
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
2604
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
2606
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
2607
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
2611
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
2613
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
2615
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2617
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
2621
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
2622
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
2623
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
2625
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
2626
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
2627
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
2628
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
2630
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
2631
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
2632
release. (James Westby)
2634
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
2637
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
2639
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
2640
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
2642
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
2643
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
2645
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
2646
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
2648
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
2649
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
2650
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
2652
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
2653
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
2654
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
2655
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
2657
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
2658
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
2659
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
2660
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
2662
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
2663
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
2664
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
2665
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
2666
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
2667
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
2669
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
2670
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
2671
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
2673
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
2674
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
2676
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
2677
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
2680
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
2681
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
2683
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
2684
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
2686
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
2687
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
2689
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
2690
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
2691
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
2693
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
2694
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
2695
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
2696
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
2697
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
2698
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
2702
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
2703
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
2704
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
2705
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
2707
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
2708
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
2709
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
2710
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
2714
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
2715
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
2718
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
2719
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
2721
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
2723
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
2724
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
2725
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
2729
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2731
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
2734
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
2735
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
2736
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
2737
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
2738
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
2739
(Martin Pool, #109520)
2741
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
2742
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
2744
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
2745
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
2746
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
2747
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
2749
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
2750
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
2752
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
2753
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2776
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
2778
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
2779
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
2780
features have been added.

bzr 1.3rc1 2008-03-16
2790
---------------------
2792
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2794
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
2795
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
2799
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
2800
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
2801
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
2802
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
2805
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
2806
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
2807
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
2808
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
2809
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
2810
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
2812
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
2813
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
2814
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
2815
(Alexander Belchenko)
2817
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2819
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
2820
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
2824
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
2825
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
2827
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
2828
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
2833
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
2835
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2837
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
2838
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
2839
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
2841
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
2842
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
2844
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
2845
to. (Daniel Watkins)
2847
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
2848
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
2849
(Alexander Belchenko)
2851
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
2852
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
2853
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
2854
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
2856
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
2859
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
2860
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
2861
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
2862
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
2863
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2867
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
2868
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
2869
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
2870
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
2872
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
2873
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
2875
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
2876
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
2878
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
2879
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
2880
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
2882
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
2883
(#198793, John Ferlito)
2885
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
2888
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
2889
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
2891
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
2893
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
2895
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
2896
symlinks (James Henstridge)
2898
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
2899
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
2901
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
2902
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
2904
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
2905
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
2907
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
2908
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
2910
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
2911
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
2915
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
2916
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2920
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
2921
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
2922
(Alexander Belchenko)
2926
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
2928
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
2929
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
2934
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
2935
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
2936
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
2938
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
2939
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
2940
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
2941
(Alexander Belchenko)
2943
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
2944
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
2945
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
2946
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
2948
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
2949
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
2950
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
2953
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
2954
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
2955
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
2957
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
2958
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
2959
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
2961
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
2962
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
2963
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
2964
format. (Robert Collins)
2972
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
2975
bzr 1.2rc1 2008-02-13
2976
---------------------
2978
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2980
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
2981
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
2982
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
2983
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
2984
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
2989
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
2990
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
2992
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
2993
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
2994
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
2996
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
2997
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
2998
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
2999
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
3000
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
3001
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
3006
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
3007
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3009
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
3010
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
3011
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
3014
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
3015
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
3016
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
3017
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
3018
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
3020
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
3021
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
3022
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
3023
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
3024
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
3025
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
3026
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
3027
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
3031
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
3032
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
3034
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
3035
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
3037
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
3038
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3040
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
3041
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
3042
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
3044
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
3045
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
3046
(John Arbash Meinel)
3050
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
3051
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
3053
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
3054
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
3056
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
3057
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
3059
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
3060
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
3061
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
3063
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
3064
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
3065
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
3067
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
3068
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
3070
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
3071
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
3072
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
3073
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
3074
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
3076
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
3078
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
3079
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
3082
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
3083
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
3085
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
3086
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
3088
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
3089
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
3091
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
3092
more characters which should be considered valid.
3093
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
3095
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
3096
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
3098
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
3099
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
3103
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
3104
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
3106
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
3107
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
3112
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
3113
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
3118
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
3119
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
3120
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
3122
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
3123
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
3124
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
3126
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
3127
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
3128
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
3129
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
3131
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
3133
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
3134
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
3135
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
3136
server. (Robert Collins)
3138
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
3139
operate. (Robert Collins)
3141
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
3142
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
3143
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
3145
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
3146
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
3147
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
3148
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
3150
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
3151
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
3153
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
3154
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
3155
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
3157
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
3158
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
3160
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
3161
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
3163
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
3164
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
3165
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
3166
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)
3172
(no changes from 1.1rc1)
3174
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
3175
---------------------
3179
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
3180
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
3181
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
3182
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
3184
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
3185
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
3186
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
3187
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
3191
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
3194
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
3197
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
3198
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
3202
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
3205
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
3206
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
3207
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
3209
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
3211
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
3212
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
3213
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
3214
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
3215
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
3217
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
3218
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
3219
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
3221
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
3222
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
3224
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
3227
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
3229
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
3231
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
3234
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
3235
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
3239
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
3240
(Martin Pool, #180208)
3242
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
3243
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
3245
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
3248
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
3249
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
3251
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
3252
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
3254
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
3255
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3257
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
3258
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
3260
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
3261
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
3262
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
3264
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
3265
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
3267
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
3268
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
3271
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
3273
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
3274
user:pass embedded in the urls.
3275
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
3277
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
3278
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
3280
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
3283
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
3286
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
3287
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
3289
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
3292
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
3293
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
3296
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
3297
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
3298
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
3302
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
3305
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
3306
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
3307
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
3308
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
3309
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
3310
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
3312
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
3316
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
3319
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
3320
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
3322
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
3324
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
3325
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
3326
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
3329
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
3330
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3332
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
3339
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
3340
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
3341
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
3343
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
3344
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
3347
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
3348
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
3350
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
3351
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
3353
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
3354
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
3356
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
3357
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
3358
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
3360
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
3361
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
3363
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
3364
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
3366
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
3367
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
3370
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
3371
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
3373
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
3374
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
3382
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
3384
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
3387
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
3389
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
3390
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
3394
bzr 1.0rc3 2007-12-11
3395
---------------------
3399
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
3400
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
3401
by mail to the mailing list.
3406
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
3408
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
3409
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
3410
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
3411
feedback but also incur more latency.
3412
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
3414
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
3415
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
3419
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
3421
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
3426
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
3427
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
3428
wraps its output in a StringIO.
3432
bzr 1.0rc2 2007-12-07
3433
---------------------
3437
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
3439
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
3442
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
3445
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
3446
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
3447
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
3448
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3450
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
3453
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
3454
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
3456
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
3457
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
3458
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
3460
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
3461
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
3462
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
3463
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
3464
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
3465
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
3466
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
3467
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
3468
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
3472
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
3475
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
3479
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
3480
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
3482
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
3484
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
3486
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
3487
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
3489
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
3491
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
3492
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
3494
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
3495
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
3499
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
3500
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)
3503
bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
3504
---------------------
3506
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3508
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
3509
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
3510
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
3511
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
3513
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
3514
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
3516
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
3517
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
3519
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
3520
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
3521
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
3522
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
3523
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
3524
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
3525
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
3526
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
3527
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
3528
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
3529
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
3530
from any tree without problems.
3531
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
3535
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
3536
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
3537
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
3539
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
3540
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
3541
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
3546
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
3547
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
3548
supported transports.
3551
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
3552
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
3553
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
3555
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
3556
(Robert Collins, #154173)
3558
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
3559
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
3560
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
3561
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
3563
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
3564
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
3568
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
3569
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
3570
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
3571
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3573
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
3574
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
3575
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
3576
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
3578
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
3579
(Robert Collins, #88319)
3581
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
3582
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
3584
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
3585
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
3587
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
3588
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
3593
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
3596
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
3597
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
3600
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
3601
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
3602
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
3603
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
3605
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
3606
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
3607
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
3608
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
3614
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
3615
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
3617
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
3618
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
3620
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
3621
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
3623
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
3624
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
3626
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
3627
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
3629
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
3630
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
3632
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
3633
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
3635
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
3638
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
3639
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
3641
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
3642
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
3643
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
3645
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
3646
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
3648
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
3649
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
3651
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
3652
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
3654
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
3655
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
3657
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
3658
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
3659
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
3660
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
3662
(Martin Pool, #164637)
3664
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
3665
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
3666
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
3668
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
3669
(Robert Collins, #161240)
3671
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
3673
(Martin Pool, #164443)
3675
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
3676
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
3678
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
3679
specify a port in urls.
3680
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
3682
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
3683
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
3685
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
3686
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
3688
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
3689
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
3691
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
3692
(Robert Collins, #153789)
3694
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
3695
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
3696
(Robert Collins, #165304).
3698
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
3700
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
3701
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
3703
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
3706
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
3707
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
3709
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
3710
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
3712
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
3713
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
3714
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
3716
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
3717
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
3719
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
3720
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
3721
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
3722
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
3724
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
3725
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
3727
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
3728
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
3729
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
3731
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
3732
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
3734
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
3735
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
3737
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
3738
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
3742
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
3743
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
3745
* The return value of
3746
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
3747
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
3748
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
3749
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
3751
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
3754
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
3755
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
3761
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
3762
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
3763
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
3766
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
3767
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
3769
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
3779
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
3782
bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29
3783
----------------------
3785
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3789
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
3790
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
3792
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
3793
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
3794
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
3795
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
3796
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
3797
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
3798
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
3799
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
3800
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
3801
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
3802
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
3803
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
3808
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
3809
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
3810
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
3811
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
3812
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
3813
for further details. (Robert Collins)
3815
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
3816
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
3817
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
3820
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
3822
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
3823
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
3825
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
3826
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
3829
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
3830
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
3831
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
3835
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
3836
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
3838
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
3839
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
3841
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
3842
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
3843
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
3844
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
3846
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
3849
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
3850
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
3851
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
3852
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
3854
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
3855
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
3857
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
3858
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
3860
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
3861
the contents. (Robert Collins)
3863
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
3864
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
3868
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
3869
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
3871
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
3872
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
3874
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
3875
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
3877
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
3878
(Martin Pool, #63894)
3880
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
3881
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
3885
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
3887
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
3892
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
3893
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
3894
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
3896
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
3897
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
3899
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
3900
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
3902
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
3903
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
3904
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
3905
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
3907
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
3908
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
3909
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
3910
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
3911
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
3913
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
3914
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
3916
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
3918
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3920
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
3921
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
3923
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
3924
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
3926
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
3927
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
3929
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
3930
contains a symbolic link.
3931
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
3933
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
3934
(James Westby, #140615)
3936
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
3937
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
3938
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
3940
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
3941
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
3942
(Martin Pool, #144633)
3944
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3946
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
3947
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
3949
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
3951
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
3953
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
3954
directory to detect leaking tests.
3955
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
3957
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
3958
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
3959
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
3961
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
3964
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
3965
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
3967
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
3972
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
3973
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
3975
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
3976
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
3977
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
3979
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
3980
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
3981
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
3983
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
3984
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
3986
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
3987
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
3989
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
3990
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
3993
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
3994
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
3996
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
3997
class that needs it.
4000
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
4001
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
4003
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
4004
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
4005
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
4007
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
4008
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
4009
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
4012
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
4013
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
4014
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
4015
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
4020
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
4021
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
4022
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
4024
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
4025
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
4026
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
4027
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
4029
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
4030
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
4033
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
4034
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
4035
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
4037
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
4038
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
4039
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
4041
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
4042
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
4044
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
4045
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
4046
to complete. (Robert Collins)
4048
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
4049
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
4051
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
4052
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
4053
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
4055
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
4056
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
4057
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
4059
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
4060
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
4061
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
4062
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
4064
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
4065
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
4066
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
4067
returned. (Robert Collins)
4069
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
4070
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
4072
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
4073
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
4074
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
4075
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
4078
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
4079
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
4083
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
4084
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
4086
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
4087
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
4088
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
4089
makes this behavior available to other users.
4092
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
4093
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
4101
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
4102
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
4103
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
4105
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
4107
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
4108
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
4109
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
4110
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
4112
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
4113
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
4117
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
4118
----------------------
4120
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
4121
in bzrlib/remote.py.
4124
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
4125
----------------------
4129
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
4130
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
4131
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
4132
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
4135
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
4136
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
4137
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
4142
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
4143
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
4144
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
4147
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
4148
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
4149
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
4151
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
4152
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
4153
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
4155
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
4156
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
4158
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
4159
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
4160
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
4161
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
4162
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
4163
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
4164
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
4165
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
4166
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
4167
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
4169
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
4170
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
4172
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
4173
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
4174
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
4178
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
4179
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
4181
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
4182
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
4183
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
4185
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
4186
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
4188
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
4189
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
4191
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
4194
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
4195
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
4197
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
4198
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
4200
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
4201
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4203
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
4204
(Blake Winton, #129299)
4206
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
4208
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
4211
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
4212
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
4213
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
4214
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
4216
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4218
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
4219
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
4222
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
4223
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
4225
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
4226
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
4229
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
4230
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
4232
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
4233
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
4235
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
4236
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
4237
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
4238
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
4239
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
4240
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
4241
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
4243
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
4244
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
4246
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
4247
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
4249
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
4250
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
4252
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
4253
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
4255
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
4257
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
4259
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
4260
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
4262
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
4263
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
4264
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
4266
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
4267
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
4268
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
4272
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
4273
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4275
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
4278
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
4281
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
4282
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
4284
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
4286
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
4287
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
4289
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
4290
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
4292
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
4293
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
4294
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
4295
space). (Robert Collins)
4297
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
4298
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
4301
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
4302
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4304
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
4305
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
4307
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
4308
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
4309
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
4310
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
4312
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
4313
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
4314
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
4317
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
4320
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
4321
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
4322
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
4324
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
4325
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
4326
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
4327
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
4328
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
4332
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
4333
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
4335
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
4336
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
4337
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
4338
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
4339
affected. (Robert Collins)
4341
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
4342
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
4343
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
4346
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
4347
previous release. (Martin Pool)
4351
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
4352
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
4354
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
4355
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4357
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
4358
previous release. (Martin Pool)
4360
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
4363
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
4364
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4368
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
4369
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
4370
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
4371
its version information. (Robert Collins)
4373
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
4374
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4376
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
4377
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
4378
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
4379
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4381
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
4382
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
4383
present. (Robert Collins)
4385
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
4386
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
4387
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
4388
API. (Robert Collins)
4390
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
4391
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
4394
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
4395
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
4397
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
4398
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
4399
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
4400
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
4401
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
4402
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
4404
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
4405
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
4406
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
4408
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
4409
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
4410
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
4411
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
4414
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
4417
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
4418
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
4419
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
4420
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
4421
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
4422
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
4423
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
4425
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
4426
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
4427
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
4428
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
4430
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
4431
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
4432
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
4433
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
4434
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
4435
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
4437
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
4438
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
4439
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
4441
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
4442
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
4450
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
4451
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
4452
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
4453
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
4454
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
4455
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
4456
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
4457
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
4462
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
4463
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
4464
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
4467
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
4468
----------------------
4472
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
4473
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
4474
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
4475
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
4476
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
4478
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
4479
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
4481
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
4483
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
4485
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
4486
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
4489
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
4490
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
4493
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
4496
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
4497
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
4499
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
4500
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
4502
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
4503
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
4505
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
4506
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
4508
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
4509
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
4511
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
4516
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
4517
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
4519
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
4520
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
4522
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
4523
the repository (Robert Collins)
4525
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
4526
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
4527
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
4528
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
4529
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
4531
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
4532
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
4534
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
4535
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
4536
(John Arbash Meinel)
4538
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
4539
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
4540
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
4542
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
4543
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
4544
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
4545
(John Arbash Meinel)
4547
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
4548
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
4551
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
4552
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
4554
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
4557
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
4559
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
4561
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
4562
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
4564
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
4565
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
4568
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
4569
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
4570
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
4571
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
4573
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
4574
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
4575
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
4577
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
4578
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
4579
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
4581
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
4582
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
4584
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
4585
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
4586
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
4587
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
4588
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
4589
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
4592
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
4593
(Alexander Belchenko)
4595
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
4596
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
4598
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
4599
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
4601
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
4603
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
4604
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
4608
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
4609
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
4610
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
4611
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
4613
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
4615
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
4618
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
4619
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
4620
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
4621
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
4622
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
4623
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
4627
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
4628
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
4629
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
4630
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
4632
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
4633
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
4634
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
4635
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
4636
tests have been refactored too.
4639
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
4640
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
4641
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
4645
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
4646
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
4647
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
4649
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
4650
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
4651
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
4652
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
4653
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
4654
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
4655
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
4657
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
4658
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
4659
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
4660
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
4661
(John Arbash Meinel)
4663
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
4664
functionality for testing.
4666
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
4668
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
4669
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4671
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
4673
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
4676
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
4677
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
4679
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
4680
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
4681
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
4683
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
4686
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
4687
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
4689
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
4690
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
4691
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
4692
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
4694
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
4695
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
4697
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
4698
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
4699
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
4701
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
4704
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
4705
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
4706
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
4707
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
4708
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
4709
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
4711
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
4712
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
4713
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
4714
many files. (Robert Collins)
4716
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
4717
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
4718
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
4719
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
4723
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
4724
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
4725
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
4727
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
4728
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
4730
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
4731
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
4732
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
4736
--------------------
4740
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
4743
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
4744
-----------------------
4748
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
4749
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
4751
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
4752
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
4753
(James Westby, #122656)
4755
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
4756
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
4758
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
4759
authentication header.
4760
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
4762
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
4764
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
4765
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
4767
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
4769
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
4770
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
4772
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
4773
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
4774
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
4776
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
4777
individually and as part of revision ranges.
4778
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
4780
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
4781
(Martin Pool, #109169)
4783
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
4784
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
4786
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
4787
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
4789
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
4791
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
4795
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
4796
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
4797
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
4798
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
4799
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
4800
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
4802
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
4803
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
4804
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
4806
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
4809
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
4810
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
4812
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
4813
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
4815
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
4816
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
4818
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
4819
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
4820
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
4821
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
4822
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
4824
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
4825
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
4827
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
4828
can be slow it is useful feedback).
4829
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
4831
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
4832
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
4834
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
4836
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
4837
output. (Aaron Bentley)
4839
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
4840
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
4843
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
4846
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
4847
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
4849
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
4850
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
4852
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
4853
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
4855
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
4857
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
4858
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
4860
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
4865
* Testing cleanups -
4866
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
4867
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
4868
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
4869
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
4870
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4871
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
4872
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4873
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
4874
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4875
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
4876
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
4877
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
4878
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4879
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
4880
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4881
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
4882
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
4885
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
4887
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
4888
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
4889
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
4891
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
4892
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
4894
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
4895
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4897
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
4899
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
4900
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
4901
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
4902
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
4903
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
4904
same location. (Robert Collins)
4908
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
4910
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
4912
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
4914
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
4917
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
4920
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
4921
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
4922
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
4924
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
4926
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
4927
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
4928
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
4930
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
4931
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
4933
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
4934
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
4935
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
4937
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
4938
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
4939
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
4941
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
4942
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
4943
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
4945
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
4946
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
4949
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
4950
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
4952
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
4953
(Alexander Belchenko)
4957
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
4958
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
4959
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
4960
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4962
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
4963
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
4964
testing. (Robert Collins)
4966
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
4967
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
4969
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
4970
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
4971
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
4972
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
4973
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
4974
attribute during the test parameterisation in
4975
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
4977
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
4978
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
4979
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
4980
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
4982
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
4983
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
4985
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
4986
avoid useless cloning.
4987
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
4991
--------------------
4995
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
4996
(Colin Watson, #120647)
4998
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
4999
(Aaron Bentley, Ian Clatworthy, #120930)

bzr 0.17rc1 2007-06-12
5003
-----------------------
5005
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5007
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
5008
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
5009
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
5010
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
5011
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
5012
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
5013
and unlock() like so::
5015
work_tree.lock_read()
5017
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
5022
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
5023
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
5025
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
5026
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
5027
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
5029
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
5030
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
5031
too. (Robert Collins)
5035
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
5036
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
5039
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
5040
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
5042
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
5043
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
5045
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
5046
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
5047
understanding what changes have occurred
5048
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
5050
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
5051
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
5052
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
5054
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
5055
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
5056
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
5057
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
5059
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
5064
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
5065
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
5066
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
5067
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
5068
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
5070
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
5071
based on split paths, not just string paths.
5072
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
5074
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
5075
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
5077
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
5079
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
5081
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
5082
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
5084
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
5085
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
5087
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
5088
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
5090
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
5091
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
5093
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
5094
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
5096
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
5097
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
5098
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
5101
--------------------
5105
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
5106
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
5107
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
5108
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
5109
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
5111
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
5112
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
5113
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
5115
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
5116
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
5120
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
5121
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
5122
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
5124
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
5125
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
5126
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
5127
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
5129
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
5130
-----------------------
5134
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
5135
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
5136
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
5137
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
5139
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
5140
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
5141
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
5143
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
5144
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
5146
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
5147
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
5149
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
5150
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
5152
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
5153
-----------------------
5155
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5157
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
5158
it could be recovered again.
5159
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
5160
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
5161
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
5163
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
5165
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
5166
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
5170
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
5171
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
5173
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
5174
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
5175
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
5176
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
5178
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
5179
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
5181
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
5182
tests with names that match that regular expression.
5183
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
5185
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
5186
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
5187
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
5189
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
5190
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
5191
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
5193
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
5194
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
5197
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
5200
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
5201
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
5202
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
5203
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
5205
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
5208
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
5209
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
5210
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
5213
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
5214
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
5216
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
5217
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
5219
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
5220
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
5221
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
5222
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
5225
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
5226
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
5228
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
5229
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
5231
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
5232
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
5233
(Robert Collins, #107125).
5235
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
5236
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
5237
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
5239
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
5240
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
5241
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5243
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
5244
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
5245
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
5246
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
5248
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
5249
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
5250
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
5251
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
5253
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
5254
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
5255
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
5256
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
5257
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
5258
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
5259
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
5260
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
5266
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
5267
code paths. (Robert Collins)
5269
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
5270
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
5271
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
5272
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
5273
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5275
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
5276
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
5278
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
5279
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
5281
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
5282
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
5284
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
5285
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
5287
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
5288
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
5289
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
5292
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
5293
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
5294
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
5295
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
5296
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
5299
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
5300
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
5301
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
5303
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
5304
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
5307
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
5308
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
5309
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
5312
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
5313
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
5314
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
5315
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
5316
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
5318
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
5319
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
5320
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
5321
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5323
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
5324
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
5326
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
5327
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
5328
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
5329
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
5330
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
5331
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
5333
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
5334
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
5336
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
5337
help. (Robert Collins)
5339
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
5340
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
5342
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
5343
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
5344
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
5345
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
5346
(John Arbash Meinel)
5348
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
5349
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
5350
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
5351
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
5352
useful. (Robert Collins)
5354
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
5359
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
5360
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
5362
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
5363
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
5365
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
5366
properly and is no longer beneficial.
5367
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
5369
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
5372
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
5373
the file, and does it faster.
5374
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
5376
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
5377
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
5378
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
5380
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
5381
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
5382
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
5383
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
5385
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
5386
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
5387
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
5388
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
5390
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
5391
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
5393
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
5394
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
5395
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
5396
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
5399
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
5401
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
5402
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
5404
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
5405
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
5407
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
5408
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
5409
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
5410
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
5414
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
5415
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
5419
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
5420
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
5421
in running it. (Robert Collins)
5423
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
5424
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
5426
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
5427
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
5428
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
5429
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
5430
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
5431
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
5432
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
5433
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5435
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
5436
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
5437
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5439
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
5440
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
5441
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
5442
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
5443
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
5445
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5447
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
5448
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
5449
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
5451
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
5452
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
5460
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
5463
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
5464
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
5467
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
5468
-----------------------
5472
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
5473
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
5478
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
5479
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
5480
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
5481
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
5482
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
5483
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
5484
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
5485
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
5490
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
5491
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
5492
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
5494
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
5495
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
5498
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
5499
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
5500
(John Arbash Meinel)
5502
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
5503
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
5504
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
5505
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
5506
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
5510
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
5513
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
5514
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
5516
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
5517
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
5519
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
5520
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
5521
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
5523
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
5524
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
5526
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
5527
last-changed-revision for directories. The
5528
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
5529
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
5530
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
5532
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
5533
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
5534
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
5536
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
5539
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
5540
-----------------------
5542
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5544
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
5545
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
5546
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
5550
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
5551
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
5553
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
5554
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
5556
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
5558
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
5559
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
5561
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
5562
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
5566
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
5571
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
5572
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
5573
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
5574
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
5576
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
5577
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
5579
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
5580
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
5582
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
5585
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
5586
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
5589
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
5590
-----------------------
5594
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
5595
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
5596
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
5597
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
5598
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
5599
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
5601
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
5602
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
5603
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
5604
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
5605
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
5606
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
5608
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
5610
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
5611
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
5612
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
5613
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
5614
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
5615
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
5616
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
5617
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
5621
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
5622
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
5624
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
5625
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
5626
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
5627
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
5629
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
5630
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
5631
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
5632
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
5633
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
5635
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
5638
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
5641
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
5644
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
5645
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
5648
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
5651
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
5652
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
5654
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
5655
directory. (Martin Pool)
5657
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
5658
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
5659
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
5660
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
5662
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
5663
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
5664
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
5665
in docs/configuration.txt.
5667
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
5668
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
5671
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
5672
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
5673
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
5674
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
5675
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
5676
repositories. (Martin Pool)
5678
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
5679
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
5681
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
5682
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
5684
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
5689
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
5690
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
5691
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
5692
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
5693
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
5694
(John Arbash Meinel)
5696
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
5697
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
5700
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
5701
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
5702
(John Arbash Meinel)
5704
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
5705
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
5706
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
5707
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
5708
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
5709
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
5711
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
5712
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
5713
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
5715
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
5716
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
5717
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
5718
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
5720
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5722
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
5723
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
5724
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
5725
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
5727
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
5728
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
5729
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
5730
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
5732
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
5733
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
5734
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
5736
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
5737
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
5738
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
5740
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
5741
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
5742
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
5743
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
5745
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
5746
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
5747
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
5749
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
5750
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
5751
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
5753
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
5754
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
5755
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
5756
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
5757
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
5758
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
5759
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
5760
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
5761
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
5762
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
5763
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
5767
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
5768
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
5769
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
5771
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
5774
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
5775
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
5776
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
5777
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
5779
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
5780
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
5783
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
5784
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
5786
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
5788
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
5789
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
5790
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
5792
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
5793
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
5795
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
5796
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
5798
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
5799
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
5801
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
5802
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
5804
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
5806
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
5807
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
5811
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
5812
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
5816
--------------------
5820
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
5824
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
5825
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
5826
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
5828
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
5829
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
5830
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
5833
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
5834
-----------------------
5838
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
5839
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
5840
server, then you can write over the http connection.
5841
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5843
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
5846
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
5847
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
5848
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
5850
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
5851
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
5853
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
5856
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
5857
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
5858
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
5859
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
5860
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
5861
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
5863
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
5864
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
5865
should enable you to do::
5867
[/home/user/project]
5868
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
5869
push_location:policy = appendpath
5871
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
5872
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
5875
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
5876
for each file. For example::
5878
$ bzr status --short
5884
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
5885
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
5887
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
5889
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
5890
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
5892
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
5896
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
5897
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
5898
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
5899
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
5901
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
5902
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
5903
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
5905
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5907
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
5908
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
5909
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
5910
(Alexander Belchenko)
5912
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
5915
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
5916
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
5918
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
5922
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
5923
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
5925
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
5926
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
5927
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
5928
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
5929
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
5931
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
5932
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
5934
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
5935
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
5937
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
5939
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
5941
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
5942
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
5943
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
5944
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
5945
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
5947
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
5948
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
5949
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
5950
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
5952
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
5953
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
5955
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
5956
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
5958
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
5959
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
5961
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
5962

No changes from 0.13rc1
5970
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
5971
-----------------------
5975
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
5977
(Daniel Silverstone)
5979
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
5980
operations are substantially faster.
5981
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
5983
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
5984
tree from some other url. For example:
5985
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
5986
(Daniel Silverstone)
5988
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
5989
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
5990
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
5991
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
5993
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
5996
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
5997
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
5998
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
5999
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
6000
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
6001
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
6005
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
6006
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
6009
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
6010
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
6011
(John Arbash Meinel)
6013
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
6014
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
6015
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
6016
(John Arbash Meinel)
6018
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
6019
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
6021
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
6022
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
6024
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
6025
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
6030
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
6031
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
6032
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
6034
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
6035
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
6036
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
6037
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
6039
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
6041
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
6042
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
6044
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
6045
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
6046
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
6047
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
6049
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
6050
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
6051
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
6053
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
6054
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
6055
them as full references rather than integers.
6056
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
6058
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
6059
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
6061
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
6063
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
6064
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
6066
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
6067
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
6069
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
6070
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
6071
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
6072
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
6074
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
6075
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
6076
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
6078
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
6079
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
6081
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
6082
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
6083
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
6084
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
6085
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
6089
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
6090
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
6093
--------------------
6097
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
6098
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
6099
(John Arbash Meinel)
6101
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
6102
-----------------------
6106
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
6107
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
6108
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
6109
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
6111
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
6112
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
6114
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
6116
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
6117
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
6118
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
6119
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
6121
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
6122
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
6123
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
6124
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
6125
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
6127
API INCOMPATABILITY:
6129
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
6130
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
6134
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
6135
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
6136
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
6138
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
6139
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
6140
(John Arbash Meinel)
6142
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
6143
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
6144
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
6146
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
6147
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
6150
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
6151
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
6152
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6154
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
6155
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
6156
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
6157
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
6158
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
6159
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6161
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
6162
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
6163
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
6166
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
6167
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
6171
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
6172
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
6173
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
6176
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
6177
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
6179
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
6180
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
6181
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
6183
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
6184
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
6186
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
6187
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
6188
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
6189
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
6191
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
6192
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
6194
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
6195
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
6196
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
6198
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
6199
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
6201
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
6203
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
6204
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
6209
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
6210
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
6211
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
6212
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
6214
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
6215
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
6216
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6219
--------------------
6221
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
6223
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
6224
-----------------------
6228
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
6230
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
6233
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
6234
-----------------------
6238
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
6239
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
6240
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
6241
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
6242
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
6243
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
6244
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
6246
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
6247
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
6248
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
6250
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
6252
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
6253
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
6255
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
6256
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
6257
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
6260
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
6261
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
6262
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
6263
(John Arbash Meinel)
6265
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
6266
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
6267
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
6268
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
6271
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
6272
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
6273
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
6274
(John Arbash Meinel)
6278
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
6279
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
6281
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
6283
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
6284
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
6285
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
6287
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
6288
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
6290
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
6291
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
6293
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
6294
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
6296
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
6297
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
6299
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
6301
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
6302
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
6304
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
6305
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
6307
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
6308
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
6310
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
6311
(John Arbash Meinel)
6313
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
6314
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
6315
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
6317
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
6318
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
6320
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
6321
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
6322
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
6323
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
6325
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
6326
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
6327
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
6329
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
6330
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
6334
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
6338
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
6339
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
6340
(John Arbash Meinel)
6342
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
6343
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
6344
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
6345
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
6347
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
6350
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
6351
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
6352
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
6354
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
6355
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
6357
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
6358
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
6359
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
6361
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
6362
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
6363
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
6364
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
6365
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
6366
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
6367
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
6368
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
6369
caller to repeat their request.
6370
(John Arbash Meinel)
6372
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
6373
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
6375
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
6376
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
6378
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
6379
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
6380
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
6381
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
6382
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
6383
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
6384
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
6386
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
6387
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
6388
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
6389
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
6390
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
6391
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
6392
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
6393
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
6396
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
6397
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
6398
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
6400
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
6401
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
6403
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
6404
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
6406
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
6407
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
6411
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
6412
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
6414
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
6415
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
6416
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
6418
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
6419
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
6420
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
6423
--------------------
6426
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
6427
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
6429
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
6430
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
6431
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
6432
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
6433
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
6435
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
6436
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
6437
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
6439
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
6440
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
6442
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
6443
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
6444
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6448
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
6450
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
6451
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
6452
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
6454
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
6456
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
6458
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
6459
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
6460
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
6461
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
6463
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
6464
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
6465
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
6466
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
6467
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
6469
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
6470
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
6472
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
6473
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
6475
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
6476
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
6478
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
6479
in handling of revision properties.
6480
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
6482
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
6483
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
6487
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
6488
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
6489
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
6490
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
6491
(John Arbash Meinel)
6493
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
6494
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
6495
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
6497
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
6498
---------------------
6502
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
6503
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
6504
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
6505
specific one '.bzrignore'.
6506
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
6507
a more conservative list than the old default.
6508
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
6509
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
6510
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
6511
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
6513
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
6514
to more locations than just branch locations.
6519
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
6520
revno:N:branch. For example,
6521
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
6522
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
6524
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
6525
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
6526
the path of a file that has been versioned.
6527
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
6528
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
6529
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
6530
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
6531
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
6534
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
6535
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
6536
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
6539
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
6540
(Alexander Belchenko)
6542
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
6544
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
6547
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
6548
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
6549
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
6550
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
6551
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
6552
(John Arbash Meinel)
6554
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
6555
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
6556
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
6557
grained analysis of performance.
6558
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
6560
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
6561
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
6563
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
6564
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
6565
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
6566
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
6567
file. (Robert Collins).
6569
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
6570
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
6571
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
6573
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
6574
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
6577
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
6578
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
6580
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
6581
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
6582
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
6583
the same way you would apply another branch.
6584
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
6586
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
6587
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
6589
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
6592
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
6595
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
6596
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
6597
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
6599
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
6600
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
6601
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
6603
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
6604
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
6606
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
6607
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
6608
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
6609
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
6610
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
6612
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
6613
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
6615
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
6616
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
6617
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
6618
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
6619
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
6620
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
6621
branch is as much as 4x faster.
6622
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
6624
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
6625
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
6626
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
6630
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
6632
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
6634
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
6635
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6637
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
6638
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
6640
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
6641
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
6643
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
6645
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
6646
(John Arbash Meinel)
6648
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
6649
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
6651
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
6652
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
6655
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
6656
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
6658
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
6659
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
6661
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
6662
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
6663
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
6664
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
6666
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
6667
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
6669
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
6671
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
6672
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
6674
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
6676
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
6678
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
6679
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
6681
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
6682
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
6684
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
6685
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
6686
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
6688
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
6689
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
6690
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
6692
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
6693
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
6695
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
6696
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
6698
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
6699
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
6701
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
6702
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
6704
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
6705
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
6707
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
6708
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
6709
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
6711
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
6713
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
6714
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
6718
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
6719
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
6720
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
6722
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
6723
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
6725
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
6726
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
6727
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
6729
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
6730
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
6732
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
6733
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
6736
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
6737
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
6738
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6740
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
6741
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
6742
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6744
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
6745
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
6746
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
6748
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
6749
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
6750
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
6752
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
6753
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
6754
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
6756
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
6757
instead. (Robert Collins)
6759
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
6761
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
6762
---------------------
6766
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
6768
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
6769
---------------------
6773
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
6774
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
6776
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
6777
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6779
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
6780
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
6781
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
6785
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
6787
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
6788
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
6790
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
6794
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
6795
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
6796
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
6797
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
6801
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
6802
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
6803
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
6807
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
6808
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
6809
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6813
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
6814
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
6819
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
6821
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
6822
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
6823
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
6824
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
6825
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
6826
will keep the same format.
6828
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
6829
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
6830
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
6831
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
6832
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
6834
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
6835
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
6836
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
6837
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
6838
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
6839
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
6840
indicating the current revision of the branch.
6842
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
6843
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
6844
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
6845
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
6846
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
6848
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
6849
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
6850
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
6856
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
6857
convention. Paths now take the form::
6859
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
6861
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
6863
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
6864
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
6866
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
6867
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
6868
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
6870
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
6871
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
6872
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
6873
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
6875
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
6876
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
6877
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
6879
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
6881
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
6883
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
6884
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
6887
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
6888
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
6891
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
6893
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
6894
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
6895
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
6898
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
6900
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
6902
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
6905
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
6906
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
6908
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
6909
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
6912
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
6913
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
6916
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
6918
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
6920
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
6921
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
6923
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
6924
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
6925
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
6926
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
6927
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
6928
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
6930
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
6932
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
6933
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
6936
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
6937
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
6939
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
6940
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
6942
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
6944
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
6945
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
6946
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
6947
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
6948
specification by Martin Pool.
6949
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
6951
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
6954
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
6955
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
6957
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
6958
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
6959
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
6961
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
6963
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
6964
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
6969
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
6970
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6972
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
6974
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
6976
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
6979
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
6980
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
6981
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
6982
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
6986
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
6987
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
6988
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
6989
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6991
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
6992
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
6993
tried. (Martin Pool)
6995
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
6998
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
7000
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
7001
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
7002
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
7004
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
7005
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
7007
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
7008
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
7009
paths. (Robert Collins)
7011
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
7012
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
7013
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
7015
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
7016
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
7017
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
7019
* Progress bars are now nested - see
7020
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
7021
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
7023
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
7026
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
7029
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
7031
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
7033
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
7034
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
7035
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
7038
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
7039
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
7041
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
7042
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
7043
check. (Robert Collins)
7045
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
7046
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
7050
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
7051
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
7053
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
7054
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
7055
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
7056
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
7058
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
7059
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
7060
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
7061
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
7062
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
7064
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
7065
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
7066
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
7068
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
7070
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
7071
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
7078
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
7079
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
7081
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
7082
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
7083
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
7086
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
7087
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
7089
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
7090
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
7091
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
7092
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
7093
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
7095
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
7096
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
7097
used. (Robert Collins)
7099
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
7100
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
7103
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
7104
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
7105
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
7107
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
7110
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
7111
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
7115
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
7116
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
7118
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
7120
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
7122
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
7123
tree. (Robert Collins)
7125
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
7126
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
7127
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
7130
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
7133
* Tweaks to short log printing
7135
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
7138
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
7139
occurs. (Martin Pool)
7141
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
7142
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
7144
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
7145
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
7147
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
7148
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
7149
settings. (Magnus Therning)
7151
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
7152
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
7154
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
7155
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
7158
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
7159
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
7161
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
7162
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
7164
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
7165
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
7167
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
7170
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
7171
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
7173
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
7174
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
7176
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
7177
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
7178
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
7182
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
7184
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
7186
* Error when run with -OO
7188
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
7191
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
7193
* Change status to 3 for all errors
7195
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
7196
ignored by diff and status
7198
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
7199
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
7201
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
7203
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
7205
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
7206
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
7208
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
7209
email address. (Marien Zwart)
7211
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
7214
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
7215
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
7217
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
7219
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
7220
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
7222
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
7225
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
7226
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
7228
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
7232
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
7233
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
7235
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
7237
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
7239
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
7241
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
7242
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
7243
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
7245
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
7247
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
7248
(John Arbash Meinel)
7250
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
7252
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
7253
If adding a new test script please add that to
7254
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
7256
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
7257
imported. (Martin Pool)
7259
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
7260
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
7261
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
7262
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
7263
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
7266
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
7267
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
7268
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
7270
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
7271
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
7272
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
7274
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
7275
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
7276
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
7277
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
7278
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
7281
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
7282
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
7287
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
7288
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
7290
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
7291
function. (Robert Collins)
7293
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
7294
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
7295
if needed). (Robert Collins)
7297
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
7298
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
7301
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
7302
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
7303
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
7304
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
7305
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
7306
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
7307
version. (Robert Collins)
7309
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
7310
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
7312
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
7313
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
7314
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
7315
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
7316
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
7317
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
7319
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
7322
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
7332
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
7334
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
7336
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
7339
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
7340
query method. (Robert Collins)
7342
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
7345
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
7348
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
7351
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
7352
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
7353
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
7354
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
7356
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
7357
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
7358
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
7359
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
7361
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
7362
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
7369
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
7372
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
7376
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
7377
a separator, not ':'.
7380
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
7381
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
7382
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
7384
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
7385
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
7388
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
7389
has been added that suppresses all output.
7391
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
7394
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
7395
Goffredo Baroncelli.
7397
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
7398
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
7400
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
7401
a revision. (Robert Collins)
7403
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
7404
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
7405
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
7406
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
7408
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
7410
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
7411
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
7413
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
7414
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
7416
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
7417
output directory, if one was supplied.
7419
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
7420
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
7421
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
7422
parameters. (Robert Collins)
7424
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
7426
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
7427
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
7429
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
7430
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
7431
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
7433
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
7434
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
7436
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
7439
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
7441
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
7445
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
7446
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
7447
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
7449
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
7450
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
7451
related questions. (Robert Collins)
7453
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
7454
is given. (Martin Pool)
7456
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
7457
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
7458
file. (Robert Collins)
7460
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
7465
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
7466
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
7467
representation. (Martin Pool).
7469
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
7470
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
7471
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
7473
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
7476
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
7477
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
7480
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
7481
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
7482
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
7483
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
7484
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
7486
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
7487
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
7488
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
7489
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
7490
python path. (Robert Collins)
7492
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
7493
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
7494
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
7495
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
7497
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
7498
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
7500
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
7501
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
7504
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
7505
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
7506
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
7508
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
7509
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
7510
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
7512
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
7513
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
7515
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
7516
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
7517
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
7520
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
7521
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
7522
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
7523
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
7526
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
7529
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
7530
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
7533
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
7534
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
7535
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
7537
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
7538
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
7539
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
7541
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
7542
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
7543
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
7545
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
7546
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
7548
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
7549
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
7550
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
7551
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
7552
caller. (Robert Collins)
7554
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
7555
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
7558
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
7559
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
7562
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
7564
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
7565
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
7569
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
7570
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
7572
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
7573
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
7576
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
7577
--------------------
7581
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
7582
allow directories to be listed.
7584
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
7585
upgrading branch format.
7589
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
7597
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
7598
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
7599
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
7600
high-latency connections.
7604
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
7607
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
7608
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
7610
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
7611
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
7612
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
7613
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
7615
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
7616
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
7618
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
7619
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
7621
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
7622
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
7623
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
7625
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
7626
for files with only a change to their executable status.
7627
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
7630
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
7631
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
7633
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
7634
different partial views of history.
7636
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
7637
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
7641
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
7642
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
7643
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
7645
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
7646
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
7649
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
7650
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
7652
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
7655
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
7656
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
7658
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
7659
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
7660
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
7661
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
7663
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
7665
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
7666
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
7669
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
7670
Contributed by Robert Collins.
7672
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
7673
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
7674
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
7679
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
7680
for your viewing pleasure.
7682
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
7683
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
7685
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
7686
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
7687
handling of such circumstances.
7689
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
7690
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
7691
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
7693
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
7695
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
7696
we call them revisions not patches.
7698
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
7699
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
7701
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
7702
giving the revision *of that file*.
7704
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
7705
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
7706
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
7710
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
7711
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
7713
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
7714
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
7717
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
7718
--------------------
7722
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
7724
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
7727
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
7729
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
7731
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
7732
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
7736
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
7737
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
7739
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
7740
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
7741
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
7742
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
7745
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
7746
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
7750
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
7752
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
7753
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
7756
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
7757
--------------------
7761
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
7762
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
7763
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
7764
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
7767
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
7770
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
7771
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
7772
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
7773
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
7774
for the operating system is still tried.
7776
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
7777
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
7778
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
7783
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
7787
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
7789
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
7792
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
7798
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
7800
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
7803
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
7804
--------------------
7808
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
7809
help with intelligent shell completion.
7811
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
7816
* Much better merge support.
7818
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
7819
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
7825
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
7826
mention revisions that are not present.
7828
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
7830
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
7832
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
7833
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
7838
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
7840
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
7841
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
7847
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
7848
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
7853
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
7854
--------------------
7858
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
7859
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
7861
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
7863
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
7864
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
7866
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
7869
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
7871
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
7874
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
7875
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
7877
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
7878
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
7879
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
7884
* Faster working tree operations.
7889
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
7890
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
7891
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
7892
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
7894
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
7895
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
7896
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
7897
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
7898
standard plugins directory.
7900
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
7901
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
7902
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
7903
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
7905
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
7906
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
7908
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
7911
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
7912
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
7913
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
7915
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
7916
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
7918
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
7919
line options must come before the command name because they
7920
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
7921
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
7924
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
7926
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
7927
is available with ``--short``.
7932
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
7935
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
7936
---------------------
7940
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
7941
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
7943
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
7944
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
7945
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
7946
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
7948
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
7949
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
7950
with the ``--forward`` option.
7952
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
7953
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
7959
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
7960
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
7962
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
7964
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
7965
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
7967
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
7969
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
7970
either read or write mode.
7972
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
7974
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
7977
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
7979
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
7980
suggested by LarstiQ.
7982
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
7983
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
7985
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
7988
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
7989
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
7991
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
7992
haven't changed since the previous time.
7994
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
7995
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
7997
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
7999
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
8001
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
8002
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
8004
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
8005
options through to an external GNU diff.
8007
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
8010
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
8016
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
8017
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
8019
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
8025
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
8026
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
8029
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
8030
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
8032
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
8033
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
8035
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
8036
under a different version.
8038
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
8043

8046
Scott James Remnant.
8048
* Better help messages for many commands.
8050
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
8051
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
8053
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
8054
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
8056
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
8058
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
8060
* New AtomicFile class.
8062
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
8067
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
8068
2.4 is now only recommended.

bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
8072
---------------------
8076
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
8077
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
8079
* More default ignore patterns.
8081
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
8082
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
8084

8086
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
8089
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.

* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
8095
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
8096
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
8097
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
8098
there are DNS problems.
8100
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
8105
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
8107

8110
trailing newlines properly.

8121
directory and delete it when done.
8123
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
8128
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
8131
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch

8153
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
8157
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
8158
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
8163
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
8164
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
8169
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
8173

bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
8185
-----------------------------------
8189
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).

* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
8198
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
8201
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
8202
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
8204
* Performance improvements.
8206
* New global --profile option.
8208
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
8209
the root directory only.
8212
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
8213
---------------------
8217
* More information from info command.
8219

8222
committing to stores.
8224
