13
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
14
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
15
command may need to be adjusted.
16
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
20
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
21
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
22
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
24
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
27
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
28
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
29
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
32
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --format
33
gnu-changelog``. (Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
35
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
38
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
39
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
41
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernoij)
43
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
44
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
49
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
50
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
52
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
53
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
54
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
56
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
57
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
59
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
60
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
61
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
64
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
65
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
66
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
68
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
69
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
70
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
71
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
73
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
76
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
77
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
79
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
80
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
82
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
83
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
84
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
86
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
90
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
91
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
92
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
94
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
95
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
98
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
99
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
100
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
102
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
103
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
105
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
106
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
108
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
109
(James Westby, #174539)
111
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
112
error branching from old repositories.
113
(Martin Pool, #321695)
115
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
116
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
118
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
119
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
120
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
121
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
123
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
124
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko)
126
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
127
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
129
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
130
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
134
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
135
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
139
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
140
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
141
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
144
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.
145
(Daniel Watkins, #327421, #327425)
149
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
150
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
151
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
152
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
153
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
155
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
156
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
157
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
158
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
159
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
160
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
162
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
163
"author" argument being deprecated.
165
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
167
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
168
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
169
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
170
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
172
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
173
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
174
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
176
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
177
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
178
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
180
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
181
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
183
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
184
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
185
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
186
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
190
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
191
free of virtual file system methods.
192
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
194
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
195
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
196
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
198
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
199
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
200
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
201
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
202
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
203
(Robert Collins, #334187)
205
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
207
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
208
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
210
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
211
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
212
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
213
stream the operation.
214
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
216
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
217
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
219
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
220
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
221
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
222
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
223
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
225
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
226
branch object. (Robert Collins)
228
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
229
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
230
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
232
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
233
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
236
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
239
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
240
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
241
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
243
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
244
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
245
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
247
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
248
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
249
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
251
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
252
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
253
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
255
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
256
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
257
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
258
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
259
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
261
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
262
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
263
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
264
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
265
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
266
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
268
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
269
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
270
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
271
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
272
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
274
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
275
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
277
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
278
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
280
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
281
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
282
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
283
to access private data in record to obtain content more
284
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
286
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
287
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.
291
bzr 1.12 "1234567890" 2009-02-13
292
--------------------------------
294
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
295
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
296
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
297
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
298
by showing the rate of network IO.
302
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
303
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
307
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
308
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
311
bzr 1.12rc1 "1234567890" 2009-02-10
312
-----------------------------------
314
COMPATIBILITY BREAKS:
316
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
317
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
318
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
319
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
321
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
322
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
323
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
326
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
327
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
328
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
329
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
331
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
332
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
333
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
336
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
340
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
341
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
342
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
345
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
346
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
347
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
349
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
350
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
351
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
352
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
353
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
354
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
355
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
356
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
357
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
362
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
365
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
368
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
369
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
370
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
372
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
373
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
374
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
375
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
376
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
378
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
379
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
381
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
382
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
383
level for better precision.
386
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
387
rules. (Marius Kruger)
389
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
390
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
391
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
393
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
394
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
395
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
398
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
399
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
400
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
404
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
406
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
408
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
409
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
410
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
412
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
413
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
414
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
415
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
416
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
417
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
419
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
420
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
422
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
423
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
425
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
426
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
427
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
429
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
430
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
431
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
434
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
435
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
437
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
438
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
439
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
440
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
442
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
443
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
445
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
447
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)
451
* Improved plugin developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
455
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
456
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
459
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
460
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
462
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
463
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
465
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
466
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
468
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
469
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
470
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
471
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
473
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
474
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
475
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
479
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
480
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
481
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
482
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
483
compile buffers, are such an example).
486
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
487
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
490
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
491
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
492
efficient way of doing the mapping.
495
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
496
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
498
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
499
formatters to retrict the output.
503
bzr 1.11 "Eyes up!" 2009-01-19
504
------------------------------
506
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
507
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
508
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
509
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
510
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
512
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
513
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
516
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
517
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.
521
* Fix failing test when CompiledChunksToLines is not available.
524
* Stacked branches don't repeatedly open their transport connection.
529
bzr 1.11rc1 "Eyes up!" 2009-01-09
530
---------------------------------
534
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
535
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
539
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
540
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
542
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
543
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
544
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
545
implement other plugins.
548
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
553
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
554
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
556
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
557
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
559
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
560
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
561
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
562
processes which drag in shell extensions.
565
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
566
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
567
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
568
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
569
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
571
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
572
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
573
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
574
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
575
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
579
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
580
control directory. (#139691)
582
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
583
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
585
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
586
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
588
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
589
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
590
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
592
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.

612
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
613
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be

started. (Andrew Bennetts)
616
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
617
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
618
in the appropriate sections.
619
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
621
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
622
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
625
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
626
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
628
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
629
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
631
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
632
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
634
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
635
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
636
work better with how it splits its requests.
637
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
639
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
640
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
641
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
643
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
646
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
648
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
649
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
651
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
656
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
657
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
658
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
663
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
664
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
665
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
666
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
668
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
669
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
671
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
672
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
673
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
674
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
676
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
677
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
678
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
679
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
683
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
684
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
685
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
687
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
688
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
689
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
690
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
692
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
693
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
694
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
699
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
700
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
703
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
704
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
705
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
708
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
709
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
710
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
711
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
713
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
714
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
715
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
717
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
718
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
719
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
720
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
722
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
723
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
724
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
725
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
728
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
729
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
731
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
732
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
733
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
735
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
736
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
737
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
738
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
740
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
741
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
742
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
745
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
746
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
747
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
748
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
749
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
750
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
751
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
753
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
754
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)
761
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
762
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
763
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
764
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
767
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
771
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
772
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
773
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
774
(Martin Pool, #303856)
776
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
777
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
778
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
779
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
780
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)
783
bzr 1.10rc1 2008-11-28
784
----------------------
786
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
787
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
788
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
789
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
790
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
794
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
795
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
797
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
802
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
803
history just to set the last revision info.
804
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
806
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
807
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
808
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
809
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
811
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
812
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
813
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
814
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
817
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
818
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
820
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
821
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
822
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
823
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
824
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
826
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
827
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
828
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
829
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
833
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
834
(Martin Pool, #289148)
836
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
837
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
839
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
840
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
841
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
842
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
844
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
845
starting with a dotted revno.
846
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
848
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
849
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
850
(Martin Pool, #288751)
852
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
853
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
854
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
856
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
857
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
858
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
860
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
861
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
862
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
863
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
865
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
866
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
867
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
869
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
870
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
874
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
875
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
876
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
877
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
879
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
880
have changed incompatibly.
882
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
883
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
884
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
885
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
886
don't need to change.
888
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
889
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
893
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
894
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
896
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
902
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
903
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
904
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
905
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
906
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
907
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
911
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
912
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
914
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
916
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
917
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.
918
(John Arbash Meinel, #293746)
921
bzr 1.9rc1 2008-10-31
922
---------------------
926
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
927
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
929
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
930
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
931
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
932
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
936
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
937
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
938
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
939
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
940
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
941
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
943
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
944
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
946
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
947
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
948
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
950
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
951
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
952
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
955
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
956
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
958
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
959
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
961
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
962
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
964
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
965
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
966
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
967
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
968
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
969
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
970
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
971
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
972
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
973
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
977
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
978
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
980
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
981
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
983
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
984
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
985
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
987
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
988
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
989
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
991
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
992
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
993
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
995
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
996
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
997
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
998
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
999
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
1000
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
1002
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
1003
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
1005
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
1006
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
1008
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
1009
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
1010
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
1011
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
1012
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
1014
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
1015
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
1016
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
1017
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
1021
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
1025
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
1029
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
1030
configuration of authetication credentials.
1036
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
1037
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
1038
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
1039
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
1040
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
1044
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
1045
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
1049
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
1050
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
1053
bzr 1.8rc1 2008-10-07
1054
---------------------
1058
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
1059
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
1060
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
1061
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
1062
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
1064
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
1065
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
1067
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
1068
server. (Marius Kruger)
1070
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
1071
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
1072
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
1073
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
1074
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
1075
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
1079
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
1080
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
1081
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
1083
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
1087
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
1088
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
1089
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
1090
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
1092
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
1093
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
1096
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
1097
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
1100
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
1103
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
1105
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
1106
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
1108
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
1109
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
1111
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
1112
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
1113
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
1114
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
1115
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
1116
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
1117
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
1118
operations. (Robert Collins)
1120
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
1122
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
1123
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
1124
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
1128
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
1129
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
1130
(Martin Pool, #279381)
1132
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
1133
repository now preserves the repository format.
1134
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
1136
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
1137
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
1139
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
1140
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
1142
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
1144
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
1146
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
1149
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
1150
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
1151
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
1153
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
1154
is in a different repository than the current one.
1155
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
1157
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
1158
(David Futcher, #242106)
1160
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
1161
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1163
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
1164
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
1165
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
1166
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
1168
* Trivial documentation fix.
1169
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
1171
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
1172
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
1173
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
1174
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
1178
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
1182
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
1183
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
1184
to use. (Robert Collins)
1186
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
1187
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
1188
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
1190
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
1191
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
1192
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
1193
they want. (Robert Collins)
1197
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
1198
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
1199
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
1201
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
1202
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
1205
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
1208
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
1209
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
1211
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
1216
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
1217
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
1219
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
1220
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
1221
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
1223
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
1224
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
1225
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
1227
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
1228
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1230
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
1231
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
1233
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
1234
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
1236
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
1237
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
1238
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
1239
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept
1244
bzr 1.7.1 2008-10-01
1245
--------------------
1247
No changes from 1.7.1rc1.
1250
bzr 1.7.1rc1 2008-09-24
1251
-----------------------
1253
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
1254
file paths when we encounter complex history.
1258
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
1259
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
1260
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
1261
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.
1262
(John Arbash Meinel)
1268
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
1269
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
1270
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
1271
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
1272
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
1273
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.
1277
* Some small updates to the win32 installer. Include localization
1278
files found in plugins, and include the builtin distutils as part of
1279
packaging qbzr. (Mark Hammond)
1282
bzr 1.7rc2 2008-09-17
1283
---------------------
1285
A few bug fixes from 1.7rc1. The biggest change is a new
1286
``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
1287
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
1288
connect to the stacked-on location.
1292
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
1293
repository now preserves the repository format.
1294
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
1296
* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect
1297
to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
1299
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
1302
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
1306
bzr 1.7rc1 2008-09-09
1307
---------------------
1309
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
1310
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
1311
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
1312
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
1313
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
1314
it in a future repository format.
1319
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
1322
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
1323
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
1324
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
1326
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
1327
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
1328
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
1332
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
1333
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
1335
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
1339
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
1340
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
1343
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
1344
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
1346
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
1347
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
1350
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
1351
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
1352
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
1353
(John Arbash Meinel)
1355
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
1356
(Martin Pool, #261315)
1358
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
1359
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
1360
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
1361
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
1362
(John Arbash Meinel)
1364
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
1365
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
1366
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
1367
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
1368
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
1369
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
1370
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
1371
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
1372
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
1373
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1377
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
1378
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
1380
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
1381
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
1382
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
1384
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
1385
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
1386
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
1388
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
1389
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
1390
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
1391
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
1392
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
1393
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
1395
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
1396
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
1398
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
1399
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
1401
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
1402
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
1403
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
1404
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
1405
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
1406
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
1408
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
1409
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
1411
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
1412
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
1414
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
1415
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
1416
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
1417
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
1419
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
1420
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
1422
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
1423
assuming the host name is ascii.
1424
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
1426
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
1427
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
1431
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
1435
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
1437
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
1438
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
1439
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
1442
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
1443
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1445
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
1446
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
1448
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
1449
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
1453
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
1454
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
1455
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
1456
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
1458
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
1462
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
1463
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
1464
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1466
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
1471
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
1472
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
1475
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
1476
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
1477
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
1478
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
1479
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1481
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
1482
is unknown in both source and target.
1483
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
1485
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
1486
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
1487
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
1488
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1490
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
1491
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
1492
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
1493
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1496
bzr 1.6.1 2008-09-05
1497
--------------------
1499
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
1500
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
1501
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
1504
bzr 1.6.1rc2 2008-09-03
1505
-----------------------
1509
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
1510
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
1511
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
1512
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
1515
bzr 1.6.1rc1 2008-08-29
1516
-----------------------
1518
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
1519
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
1520
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
1521
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
1522
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
1523
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
1524
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
1525
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
1526
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
1527
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
1528
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
1529
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
1533
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
1534
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
1535
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
1536
start of the string (causing more copies).
1537
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
1538
especially for projects with large files.
1539
(John Arbash Meinel)
1541
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
1542
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
1543
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
1544
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
1545
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
1547
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
1548
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
1549
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
1550
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
1551
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.
1552
(John Arbash Meinel, #262333)
1558
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
1559
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
1560
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
1561
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
1562
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
1563
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
1564
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
1565
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
1566
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
1569
bzr 1.6rc5 2008-08-19
1570
---------------------
1574
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
1575
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
1576
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
1577
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
1578
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
1581
bzr 1.6rc4 2008-08-18
1582
---------------------
1586
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
1587
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
1588
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
1591
bzr 1.6rc3 2008-08-14
1592
---------------------
1596
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
1597
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
1602
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
1603
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
1604
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
1609
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
1610
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
1611
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
1613
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
1614
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
1615
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
1616
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
1617
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
1618
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
1619
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
1622
bzr 1.6rc2 2008-08-13
1623
---------------------
1625
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
1630
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
1631
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
1633
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
1634
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
1637
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
1638
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
1639
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
1640
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
1641
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
1643
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
1644
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1646
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
1647
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
1649
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
1650
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
1652
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
1653
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
1654
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
1655
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
1656
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
1657
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
1660
bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
1661
---------------------
1663
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
1664
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
1665
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
1666
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
1667
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
1671
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
1672
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
1673
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
1677
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
1678
check. (Daniel Watkins)
1680
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
1681
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
1683
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
1684
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
1685
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1687
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
1690
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
1691
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
1692
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
1693
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
1694
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
1695
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
1696
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1698
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
1699
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
1700
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
1704
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
1705
physical repository boundaries.
1706
(Martin Pool, #252428)
1708
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
1709
(Martin Pool, #206258)
1711
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
1712
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
1715
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
1718
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
1719
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
1720
that Python is running from.
1721
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
1723
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
1724
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
1725
(Robert Collins, #150438)
1727
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
1728
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
1730
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
1731
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
1732
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
1734
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
1735
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
1737
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
1738
(James Westby, #248448)
1742
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
1743
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
1744
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
1747
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
1748
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
1751
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
1752
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
1753
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
1754
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
1755
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
1756
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
1759
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
1760
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1762
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
1763
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
1764
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
1765
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
1766
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
1767
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
1771
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
1772
putting together a real history without having to create a full
1773
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
1774
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
1775
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
1776
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1778
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
1779
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
1780
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
1782
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
1785
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
1786
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
1788
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
1792
bzr 1.6beta3 2008-07-17
1793
-----------------------
1795
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
1796
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
1797
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
1798
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
1803
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
1804
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
1805
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
1807
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
1808
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
1809
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
1810
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
1811
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
1814
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
1816
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
1817
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
1818
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
1823
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
1824
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
1827
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
1828
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
1829
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
1830
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
1832
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
1833
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
1834
(Christophe Troestler)
1836
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
1837
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
1839
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
1840
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
1841
faster. The new request method name is
1842
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1846
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
1847
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
1848
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
1849
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
1850
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
1852
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
1853
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
1855
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
1856
requires a branch to be present.
1857
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
1859
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
1861
(Martin Pool, #205230)
1863
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
1864
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
1865
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
1866
(Martin Pool, #240161)
1868
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
1869
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
1871
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
1873
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
1875
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
1876
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
1877
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
1878
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
1879
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
1881
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
1882
(Martin Pool, #172870)
1884
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
1885
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
1887
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
1889
(Matt McClure, #209281)
1891
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
1892
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
1894
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
1895
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
1899
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
1902
* Updated developer documentation.
1907
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
1908
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
1910
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
1911
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
1912
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
1913
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
1917
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
1918
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
1919
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
1920
Repository docstring for more details.
1923
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
1924
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
1925
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
1927
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
1928
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
1931
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
1932
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
1933
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
1934
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
1938
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
1939
(Alexander Belchenko)
1941
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
1942
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
1943
containing a given location.
1946
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
1947
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
1948
storage. (Robert Collins)
1950
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
1953
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
1954
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
1958
bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
1959
-----------------------
1961
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
1962
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
1963
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
1968
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
1969
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
1970
reading from the repository.)
1971
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
1973
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
1974
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1976
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
1977
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
1980
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
1981
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
1982
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
1984
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
1985
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
1986
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
1988
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
1989
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
1991
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
1992
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
1993
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
1994
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
1998
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
2000
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
2001
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
2002
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
2005
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
2006
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
2010
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2014
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
2015
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
2019
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
2020
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
2021
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
2022
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
2023
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
2025
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
2026
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
2030
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
2031
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
2033
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
2034
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
2037
bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
2038
-----------------------
2041
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
2042
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
2043
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
2044
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
2045
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
2046
and future extensions.
2049
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2051
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
2052
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
2053
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
2054
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
2055
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
2056
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
2057
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
2058
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
2062
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
2063
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
2064
(John Arbash Meinel)
2068
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
2069
load. (James Westby)
2073
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
2074
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
2075
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
2076
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2078
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
2079
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
2080
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
2082
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
2083
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
2085
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
2086
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
2087
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
2089
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
2090
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
2091
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
2092
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
2093
step closer to not using full revision history.
2094
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
2098
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
2099
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
2101
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
2102
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
2104
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
2105
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
2107
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
2108
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
2109
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
2110
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
2112
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
2113
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
2114
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
2115
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
2117
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
2118
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
2119
in use by another process.
2122
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
2123
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
2124
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
2125
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
2127
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
2128
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
2130
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
2131
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
2132
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
2134
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
2135
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
2136
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
2138
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
2140
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
2142
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
2143
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
2145
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
2146
under vim on Mac OS X.
2147
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2149
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
2150
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
2154
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
2155
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
2157
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
2158
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
2161
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
2162
and about use of Python reprs.
2163
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
2165
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
2169
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
2172
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
2173
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
2175
* New helper function for splitting test suites
2176
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
2180
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
2181
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
2182
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
2183
(John Arbash Meinel)
2187
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
2188
instead. (Martin Pool)
2190
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
2191
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
2192
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
2193
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
2195
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
2196
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
2197
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
2198
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
2199
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
2201
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
2202
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
2203
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
2204
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
2205
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
2206
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
2208
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
2209
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
2212
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
2213
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
2216
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
2217
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
2218
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
2219
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
2221
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
2222
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
2223
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
2225
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
2226
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
2227
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
2228
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
2229
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
2232
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
2233
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
2234
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
2235
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
2238
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
2239
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
2240
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
2241
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
2242
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
2244
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
2251
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
2252
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
2253
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
2257
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
2258
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
2259
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
2263
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
2264
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
2268
bzr 1.5rc1 2008-05-09
2269
---------------------
2271
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2275
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
2276
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
2277
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
2278
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
2284
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
2285
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
2287
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
2288
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
2290
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
2295
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
2296
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
2298
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
2299
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
2301
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
2302
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
2303
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
2305
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
2306
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
2307
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
2309
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
2312
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
2313
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
2315
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
2316
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
2318
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
2319
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
2321
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
2322
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
2324
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
2325
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
2326
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
2328
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
2329
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
2331
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
2332
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
2334
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
2335
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
2336
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
2337
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
2339
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
2340
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
2343
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
2344
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
2345
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
2347
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
2348
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
2349
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
2350
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
2351
every revision each side had in common.
2352
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2354
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
2355
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
2357
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
2358
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
2359
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
2360
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
2364
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
2365
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
2366
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
2367
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
2369
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
2371
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
2373
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
2374
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
2378
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
2379
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
2380
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
2382
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
2383
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
2384
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
2385
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
2387
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
2388
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2390
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
2391
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
2392
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
2393
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2395
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
2396
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
2397
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
2398
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2402
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
2403
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
2404
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
2406
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
2408
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
2409
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
2411
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
2412
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2414
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
2415
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
2419
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
2420
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
2421
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
2423
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
2424
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
2425
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
2428
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
2429
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
2432
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.
2439
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
2440
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
2441
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
2442
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
2443
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
2444
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
2445
and faster performance.
2449
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
2450
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
2451
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

(John Arbash Meinel, Andrew Bennetts, #214894)
2455
bzr 1.4rc2 2008-04-21
2456
---------------------
2460
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
2461
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
2462
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
2464
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
2465
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
2467
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
2468
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
2470
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
2471
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
2472
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
2473
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
2474
every revision each side had in common.
2475
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2478
bzr 1.4rc1 2008-04-11
2479
---------------------
2483
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
2485
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
2486
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
2488
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
2489
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
2490
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
2492
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
2493
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
2494
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
2495
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
2496
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
2497
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
2500
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
2501
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
2502
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
2503
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
2507
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
2509
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
2510
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
2511
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
2513
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
2514
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
2515
See the User Reference for signature details.
2516
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
2518
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
2519
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
2523
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
2524
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
2525
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
2526
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2528
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
2529
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
2531
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
2532
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
2533
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
2536
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
2539
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
2540
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
2541
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
2543
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
2546
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
2547
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
2549
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
2550
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
2552
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
2553
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
2554
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
2556
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
2557
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
2558
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
2559
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
2560
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
2562
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
2563
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
2565
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
2566
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2570
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
2571
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
2572
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
2573
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
2574
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
2575
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
2577
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
2578
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
2580
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
2581
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
2582
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
2584
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
2585
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
2587
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
2588
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
2589
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
2590
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2592
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
2593
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
2594
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
2595
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
2596
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
2598
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
2600
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
2601
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
2603
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
2605
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
2606
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
2608
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
2609
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
2613
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
2615
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
2617
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2619
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
2623
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
2624
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
2625
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
2627
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
2628
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
2629
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
2630
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
2632
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
2633
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
2634
release. (James Westby)
2636
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
2639
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
2641
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
2642
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
2644
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
2645
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
2647
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
2648
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
2650
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
2651
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
2652
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
2654
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
2655
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
2656
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
2657
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
2659
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
2660
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
2661
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
2662
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
2664
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
2665
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
2666
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
2667
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
2668
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
2669
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
2671
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
2672
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
2673
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
2675
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
2676
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
2678
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
2679
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
2682
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
2683
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
2685
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
2686
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
2688
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
2689
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
2691
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
2692
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
2693
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
2695
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
2696
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
2697
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
2698
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
2699
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
2700
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
2704
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
2705
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
2706
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
2707
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
2709
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
2710
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
2711
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
2712
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
2716
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
2717
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
2720
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
2721
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
2723
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
2725
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
2726
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
2727
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
2731
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2733
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
2736
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
2737
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
2738
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
2739
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
2740
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
2741
(Martin Pool, #109520)
2743
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
2744
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
2746
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
2747
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
2748
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
2749
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
2751
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
2752
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
2754
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
2755
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
2781
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
2782
features have been added.

bzr 1.3rc1 2008-03-16
2792
---------------------
2794
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2796
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
2797
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
2801
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
2802
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
2803
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
2804
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
2807
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
2808
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
2809
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
2810
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
2811
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
2812
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
2814
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
2815
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
2816
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
2817
(Alexander Belchenko)
2819
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2821
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
2822
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
2826
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
2827
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
2829
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
2830
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
2835
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
2837
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2839
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
2840
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
2841
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
2843
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
2844
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
2846
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
2847
to. (Daniel Watkins)
2849
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
2850
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
2851
(Alexander Belchenko)
2853
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
2854
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
2855
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
2856
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
2858
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
2861
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
2862
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
2863
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
2864
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
2865
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2869
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
2870
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
2871
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
2872
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
2874
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
2875
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
2877
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
2878
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
2880
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
2881
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
2882
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
2884
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
2885
(#198793, John Ferlito)
2887
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
2890
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
2891
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
2893
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
2895
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
2897
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
2898
symlinks (James Henstridge)
2900
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
2901
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
2903
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
2904
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
2906
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
2907
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
2909
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
2910
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
2912
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
2913
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
2917
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
2918
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2922
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
2923
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
2924
(Alexander Belchenko)
2928
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
2930
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
2931
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
2936
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
2937
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
2938
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
2940
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
2941
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
2942
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
2943
(Alexander Belchenko)
2945
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
2946
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
2947
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
2948
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
2950
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
2951
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
2952
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
2955
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
2956
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
2957
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
2959
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
2960
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
2961
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
2963
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
2964
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
2965
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
2966
format. (Robert Collins)
2974
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
2977
bzr 1.2rc1 2008-02-13
2978
---------------------
2980
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2982
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
2983
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
2984
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
2985
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
2986
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
2991
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
2992
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
2994
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
2995
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
2996
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
2998
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
2999
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
3000
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
3001
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
3002
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
3003
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
3008
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
3009
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3011
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
3012
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
3013
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
3016
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
3017
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
3018
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
3019
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
3020
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
3022
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
3023
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
3024
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
3025
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
3026
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
3027
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
3028
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
3029
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
3033
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
3034
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
3036
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
3037
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
3039
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
3040
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3042
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
3043
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
3044
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
3046
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
3047
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
3048
(John Arbash Meinel)
3052
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
3053
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
3055
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
3056
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
3058
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
3059
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
3061
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
3062
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
3063
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
3065
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
3066
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
3067
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
3069
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
3070
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
3072
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
3073
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
3074
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
3075
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
3076
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
3078
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
3080
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
3081
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
3084
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
3085
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
3087
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
3088
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
3090
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
3091
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
3093
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
3094
more characters which should be considered valid.
3095
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
3097
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
3098
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
3100
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
3101
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
3105
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
3106
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
3108
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
3109
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
3114
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
3115
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
3120
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
3121
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
3122
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
3124
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
3125
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
3126
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
3128
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
3129
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
3130
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
3131
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
3133
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
3135
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
3136
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
3137
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
3138
server. (Robert Collins)
3140
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
3141
operate. (Robert Collins)
3143
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
3144
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
3145
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
3147
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
3148
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
3149
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
3150
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
3152
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
3153
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
3155
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
3156
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
3157
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
3159
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
3160
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
3162
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
3163
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
3165
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
3166
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
3167
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
3168
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)
3174
(no changes from 1.1rc1)
3176
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
3177
---------------------
3181
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
3182
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
3183
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
3184
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
3186
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
3187
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
3188
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
3189
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
3193
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
3196
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
3199
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
3200
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
3204
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
3207
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
3208
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
3209
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
3211
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
3213
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
3214
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
3215
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
3216
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
3217
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
3219
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
3220
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
3221
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
3223
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
3224
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
3226
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
3229
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
3231
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
3233
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
3236
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
3237
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
3241
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
3242
(Martin Pool, #180208)
3244
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
3245
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
3247
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
3250
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
3251
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
3253
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
3254
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
3256
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
3257
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3259
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
3260
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
3262
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
3263
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
3264
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
3266
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
3267
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
3269
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
3270
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
3273
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
3275
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
3276
user:pass embedded in the urls.
3277
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
3279
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
3280
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
3282
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
3285
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
3288
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
3289
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
3291
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
3294
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
3295
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
3298
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
3299
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
3300
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
3304
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
3307
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
3308
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
3309
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
3310
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
3311
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
3312
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
3314
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
3318
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
3321
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
3322
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
3324
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
3326
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
3327
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
3328
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
3331
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
3332
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3334
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
3341
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
3342
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
3343
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
3345
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
3346
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
3349
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
3350
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
3352
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
3353
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
3355
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
3356
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
3358
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
3359
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
3360
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
3362
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
3363
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
3365
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
3366
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
3368
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
3369
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
3372
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
3373
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
3375
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
3376
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
3384
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
3386
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
3389
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
3391
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
3392
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
3396
bzr 1.0rc3 2007-12-11
3397
---------------------
3401
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
3402
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
3403
by mail to the mailing list.
3408
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
3410
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
3411
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
3412
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
3413
feedback but also incur more latency.
3414
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
3416
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
3417
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
3421
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
3423
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
3428
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
3429
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
3430
wraps its output in a StringIO.
3434
bzr 1.0rc2 2007-12-07
3435
---------------------
3439
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
3441
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
3444
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
3447
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
3448
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
3449
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
3450
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3452
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
3455
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
3456
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
3458
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
3459
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
3460
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
3462
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
3463
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
3464
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
3465
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
3466
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
3467
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
3468
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
3469
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
3470
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
3474
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
3477
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
3481
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
3482
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
3484
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
3486
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
3488
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
3489
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
3491
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
3493
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
3494
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
3496
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
3497
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
3501
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
3502
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)
3505
bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
3506
---------------------
3508
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3510
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
3511
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
3512
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
3513
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
3515
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
3516
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
3518
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
3519
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
3521
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
3522
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
3523
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
3524
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
3525
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
3526
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
3527
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
3528
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
3529
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
3530
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
3531
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
3532
from any tree without problems.
3533
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
3537
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
3538
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
3539
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
3541
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
3542
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
3543
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
3548
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
3549
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
3550
supported transports.
3553
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
3554
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
3555
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
3557
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
3558
(Robert Collins, #154173)
3560
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
3561
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
3562
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
3563
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
3565
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
3566
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
3570
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
3571
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
3572
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
3573
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3575
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
3576
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
3577
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
3578
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
3580
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
3581
(Robert Collins, #88319)
3583
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
3584
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
3586
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
3587
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
3589
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
3590
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
3595
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
3598
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
3599
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
3602
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
3603
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
3604
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
3605
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
3607
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
3608
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
3609
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
3610
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
3616
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
3617
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
3619
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
3620
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
3622
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
3623
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
3625
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
3626
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
3628
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
3629
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
3631
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
3632
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
3634
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
3635
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
3637
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
3640
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
3641
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
3643
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
3644
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
3645
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
3647
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
3648
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
3650
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
3651
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
3653
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
3654
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
3656
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
3657
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
3659
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
3660
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
3661
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
3662
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
3664
(Martin Pool, #164637)
3666
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
3667
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
3668
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
3670
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
3671
(Robert Collins, #161240)
3673
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
3675
(Martin Pool, #164443)
3677
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
3678
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
3680
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
3681
specify a port in urls.
3682
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
3684
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
3685
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
3687
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
3688
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
3690
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
3691
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
3693
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
3694
(Robert Collins, #153789)
3696
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
3697
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
3698
(Robert Collins, #165304).
3700
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
3702
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
3703
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
3705
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
3708
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
3709
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
3711
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
3712
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
3714
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
3715
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
3716
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
3718
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
3719
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
3721
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
3722
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
3723
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
3724
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
3726
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
3727
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
3729
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
3730
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
3731
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
3733
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
3734
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
3736
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
3737
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
3739
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
3740
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
3744
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
3745
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
3747
* The return value of
3748
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
3749
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
3750
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
3751
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
3753
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
3756
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
3757
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
3763
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
3764
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
3765
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
3768
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
3769
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
3771
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
3781
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
3784
bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29
3785
----------------------
3787
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3791
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
3792
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
3794
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
3795
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
3796
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
3797
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
3798
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
3799
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
3800
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
3801
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
3802
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
3803
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
3804
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
3805
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
3810
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
3811
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
3812
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
3813
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
3814
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
3815
for further details. (Robert Collins)
3817
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
3818
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
3819
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
3822
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
3824
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
3825
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
3827
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
3828
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
3831
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
3832
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
3833
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
3837
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
3838
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
3840
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
3841
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
3843
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
3844
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
3845
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
3846
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
3848
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
3851
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
3852
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
3853
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
3854
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
3856
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
3857
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
3859
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
3860
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
3862
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
3863
the contents. (Robert Collins)
3865
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
3866
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
3870
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
3871
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
3873
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
3874
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
3876
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
3877
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
3879
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
3880
(Martin Pool, #63894)
3882
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
3883
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
3887
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
3889
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
3894
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
3895
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
3896
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
3898
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
3899
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
3901
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
3902
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
3904
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
3905
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
3906
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
3907
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
3909
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
3910
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
3911
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
3912
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
3913
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
3915
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
3916
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
3918
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
3920
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3922
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
3923
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
3925
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
3926
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
3928
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
3929
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
3931
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
3932
contains a symbolic link.
3933
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
3935
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
3936
(James Westby, #140615)
3938
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
3939
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
3940
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
3942
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
3943
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
3944
(Martin Pool, #144633)
3946
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3948
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
3949
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
3951
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
3953
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
3955
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
3956
directory to detect leaking tests.
3957
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
3959
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
3960
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
3961
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
3963
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
3966
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
3967
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
3969
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
3974
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
3975
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
3977
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
3978
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
3979
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
3981
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
3982
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
3983
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
3985
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
3986
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
3988
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
3989
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
3991
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
3992
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
3995
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
3996
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
3998
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
3999
class that needs it.
4002
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
4003
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
4005
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
4006
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
4007
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
4009
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
4010
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
4011
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
4014
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
4015
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
4016
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
4017
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
4022
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
4023
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
4024
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
4026
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
4027
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
4028
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
4029
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
4031
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
4032
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
4035
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
4036
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
4037
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
4039
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
4040
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
4041
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
4043
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
4044
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
4046
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
4047
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
4048
to complete. (Robert Collins)
4050
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
4051
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
4053
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
4054
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
4055
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
4057
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
4058
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
4059
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
4061
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
4062
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
4063
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
4064
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
4066
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
4067
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
4068
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
4069
returned. (Robert Collins)
4071
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
4072
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
4074
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
4075
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
4076
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
4077
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
4080
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
4081
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
4085
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
4086
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
4088
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
4089
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
4090
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
4091
makes this behavior available to other users.
4094
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
4095
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
4103
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
4104
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
4105
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
4107
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
4109
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
4110
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
4111
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
4112
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
4114
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
4115
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
4119
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
4120
----------------------
4122
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
4123
in bzrlib/remote.py.
4126
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
4127
----------------------
4131
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
4132
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
4133
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
4134
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
4137
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
4138
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
4139
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
4144
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
4145
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
4146
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
4149
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
4150
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
4151
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
4153
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
4154
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
4155
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
4157
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
4158
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
4160
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
4161
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
4162
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
4163
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
4164
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
4165
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
4166
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
4167
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
4168
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
4169
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
4171
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
4172
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
4174
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
4175
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
4176
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
4180
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
4181
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
4183
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
4184
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
4185
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
4187
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
4188
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
4190
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
4191
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
4193
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
4196
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
4197
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
4199
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
4200
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
4202
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
4203
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4205
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
4206
(Blake Winton, #129299)
4208
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
4210
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
4213
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
4214
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
4215
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
4216
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
4218
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4220
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
4221
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
4224
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
4225
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
4227
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
4228
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
4231
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
4232
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
4234
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
4235
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
4237
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
4238
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
4239
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
4240
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
4241
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
4242
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
4243
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
4245
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
4246
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
4248
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
4249
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
4251
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
4252
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
4254
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
4255
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
4257
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
4259
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
4261
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
4262
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
4264
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
4265
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
4266
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
4268
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
4269
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
4270
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
4274
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
4275
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4277
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
4280
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
4283
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
4284
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
4286
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
4288
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
4289
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
4291
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
4292
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
4294
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
4295
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
4296
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
4297
space). (Robert Collins)
4299
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
4300
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
4303
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
4304
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4306
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
4307
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
4309
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
4310
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
4311
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
4312
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
4314
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
4315
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
4316
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
4319
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
4322
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
4323
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
4324
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
4326
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
4327
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
4328
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
4329
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
4330
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
4334
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
4335
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
4337
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
4338
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
4339
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
4340
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
4341
affected. (Robert Collins)
4343
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
4344
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
4345
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
4348
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
4349
previous release. (Martin Pool)
4353
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
4354
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
4356
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
4357
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4359
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
4360
previous release. (Martin Pool)
4362
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
4365
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
4366
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4370
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
4371
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
4372
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
4373
its version information. (Robert Collins)
4375
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
4376
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4378
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
4379
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
4380
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
4381
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4383
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
4384
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
4385
present. (Robert Collins)
4387
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
4388
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
4389
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
4390
API. (Robert Collins)
4392
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
4393
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
4396
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
4397
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
4399
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
4400
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
4401
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
4402
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
4403
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
4404
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
4406
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
4407
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
4408
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
4410
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
4411
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
4412
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
4413
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
4416
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
4419
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
4420
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
4421
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
4422
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
4423
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
4424
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
4425
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
4427
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
4428
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
4429
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
4430
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
4432
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
4433
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
4434
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
4435
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
4436
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
4437
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
4439
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
4440
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
4441
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
4443
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
4444
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
4452
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
4453
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
4454
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
4455
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
4456
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
4457
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
4458
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
4459
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
4464
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
4465
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
4466
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
4469
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
4470
----------------------
4474
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
4475
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
4476
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
4477
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
4478
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
4480
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
4481
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
4483
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
4485
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
4487
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
4488
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
4491
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
4492
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
4495
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
4498
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
4499
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
4501
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
4502
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
4504
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
4505
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
4507
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
4508
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
4510
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
4511
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
4513
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
4518
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
4519
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
4521
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
4522
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
4524
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
4525
the repository (Robert Collins)
4527
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
4528
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
4529
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
4530
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
4531
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
4533
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
4534
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
4536
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
4537
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
4538
(John Arbash Meinel)
4540
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
4541
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
4542
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
4544
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
4545
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
4546
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
4547
(John Arbash Meinel)
4549
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
4550
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
4553
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
4554
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
4556
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
4559
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
4561
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
4563
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
4564
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
4566
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
4567
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
4570
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
4571
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
4572
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
4573
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
4575
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
4576
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
4577
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
4579
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
4580
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
4581
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
4583
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
4584
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
4586
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
4587
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
4588
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
4589
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
4590
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
4591
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
4594
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
4595
(Alexander Belchenko)
4597
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
4598
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
4600
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
4601
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
4603
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
4605
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
4606
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
4610
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
4611
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
4612
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
4613
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
4615
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
4617
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
4620
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
4621
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
4622
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
4623
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
4624
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
4625
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
4629
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
4630
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
4631
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
4632
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
4634
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
4635
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
4636
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
4637
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
4638
tests have been refactored too.
4641
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
4642
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
4643
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
4647
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
4648
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
4649
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
4651
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
4652
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
4653
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
4654
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
4655
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
4656
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
4657
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
4659
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
4660
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
4661
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
4662
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
4663
(John Arbash Meinel)
4665
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
4666
functionality for testing.
4668
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
4670
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
4671
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4673
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
4675
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
4678
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
4679
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
4681
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
4682
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
4683
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
4685
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
4688
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
4689
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
4691
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
4692
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
4693
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
4694
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
4696
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
4697
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
4699
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
4700
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
4701
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
4703
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
4706
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
4707
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
4708
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
4709
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
4710
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
4711
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
4713
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
4714
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
4715
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
4716
many files. (Robert Collins)
4718
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
4719
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
4720
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
4721
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
4725
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
4726
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
4727
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
4729
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
4730
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
4732
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
4733
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
4734
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
4738
--------------------
4742
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
4745
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
4746
-----------------------
4750
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
4751
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
4753
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
4754
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
4755
(James Westby, #122656)
4757
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
4758
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
4760
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
4761
authentication header.
4762
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
4764
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
4766
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
4767
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
4769
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
4771
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
4772
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
4774
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
4775
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
4776
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
4778
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
4779
individually and as part of revision ranges.
4780
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
4782
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
4783
(Martin Pool, #109169)
4785
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
4786
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
4788
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
4789
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
4791
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
4793
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
4797
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
4798
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
4799
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
4800
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
4801
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
4802
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
4804
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
4805
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
4806
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
4808
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
4811
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
4812
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
4814
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
4815
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
4817
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
4818
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
4820
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
4821
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
4822
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
4823
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
4824
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
4826
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
4827
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
4829
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
4830
can be slow it is useful feedback).
4831
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
4833
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
4834
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
4836
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
4838
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
4839
output. (Aaron Bentley)
4841
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
4842
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
4845
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
4848
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
4849
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
4851
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
4852
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
4854
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
4855
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
4857
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
4859
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
4860
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
4862
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
4867
* Testing cleanups -
4868
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
4869
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
4870
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
4871
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
4872
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4873
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
4874
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4875
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
4876
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4877
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
4878
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
4879
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
4880
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4881
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
4882
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4883
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
4884
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
4887
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
4889
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
4890
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
4891
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
4893
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
4894
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
4896
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
4897
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4899
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
4901
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
4902
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
4903
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
4904
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
4905
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
4906
same location. (Robert Collins)
4910
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
4912
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
4914
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
4916
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
4919
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
4922
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
4923
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
4924
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
4926
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
4928
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
4929
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
4930
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
4932
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
4933
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
4935
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
4936
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
4937
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
4939
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
4940
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
4941
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
4943
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
4944
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
4945
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
4947
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
4948
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
4951
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
4952
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
4954
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
4955
(Alexander Belchenko)
4959
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
4960
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
4961
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
4962
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4964
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
4965
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
4966
testing. (Robert Collins)
4968
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
4969
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
4971
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
4972
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
4973
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
4974
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
4975
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
4976
attribute during the test parameterisation in
4977
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
4979
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
4980
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
4981
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
4982
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
4984
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
4985
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
4987
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
4988
avoid useless cloning.
4989
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
4993
--------------------
4997
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
4998
(Colin Watson, #120647)
5000
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
5001
(Aaron Bentley, Ian Clatworthy, #120930)

-----------------------
5007
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5009
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
5010
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
5011
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
5012
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
5013
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
5014
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
5015
and unlock() like so::
5017
work_tree.lock_read()
5019
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
5024
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
5025
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
5027
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
5028
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
5029
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
5031
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
5032
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
5033
too. (Robert Collins)
5037
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
5038
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
5041
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
5042
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
5044
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
5045
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
5047
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
5048
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
5049
understanding what changes have occurred
5050
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
5052
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
5053
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
5054
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
5056
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
5057
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
5058
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
5059
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
5061
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
5066
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
5067
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
5068
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
5069
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
5070
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
5072
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
5073
based on split paths, not just string paths.
5074
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
5076
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
5077
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
5079
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
5081
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
5083
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
5084
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
5086
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
5087
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
5089
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
5090
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
5092
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
5093
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
5095
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
5096
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
5098
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
5099
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
5100
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
5103
--------------------
5107
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
5108
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
5109
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
5110
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
5111
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
5113
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
5114
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
5115
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
5117
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
5118
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
5122
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
5123
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
5124
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
5126
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
5127
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
5128
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
5129
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
5131
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
5132
-----------------------
5136
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
5137
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
5138
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
5139
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
5141
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
5142
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
5143
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
5145
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
5146
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
5148
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
5149
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
5151
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
5152
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
5154
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
5155
-----------------------
5157
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5159
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
5160
it could be recovered again.
5161
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
5162
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
5163
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
5165
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
5167
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
5168
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
5172
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
5173
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
5175
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
5176
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
5177
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
5178
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
5180
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
5181
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
5183
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
5184
tests with names that match that regular expression.
5185
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
5187
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
5188
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
5189
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
5191
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
5192
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
5193
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
5195
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
5196
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
5199
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
5202
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
5203
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
5204
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
5205
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
5207
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
5210
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
5211
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
5212
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
5215
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
5216
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
5218
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
5219
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
5221
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
5222
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
5223
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
5224
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
5227
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
5228
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
5230
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
5231
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
5233
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
5234
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
5235
(Robert Collins, #107125).
5237
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
5238
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
5239
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
5241
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
5242
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
5243
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5245
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
5246
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
5247
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
5248
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
5250
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
5251
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
5252
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
5253
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
5255
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
5256
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
5257
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
5258
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
5259
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
5260
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
5261
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
5262
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
5268
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
5269
code paths. (Robert Collins)
5271
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
5272
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
5273
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
5274
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
5275
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5277
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
5278
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
5280
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
5281
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
5283
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
5284
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
5286
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
5287
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
5289
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
5290
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
5291
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
5294
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
5295
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
5296
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
5297
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
5298
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
5301
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
5302
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
5303
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
5305
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
5306
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
5309
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
5310
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
5311
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
5314
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
5315
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
5316
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
5317
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
5318
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
5320
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
5321
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
5322
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
5323
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5325
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
5326
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
5328
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
5329
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
5330
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
5331
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
5332
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
5333
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
5335
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
5336
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
5338
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
5339
help. (Robert Collins)
5341
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
5342
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
5344
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
5345
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
5346
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
5347
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
5348
(John Arbash Meinel)
5350
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
5351
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
5352
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
5353
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
5354
useful. (Robert Collins)
5356
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
5361
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
5362
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
5364
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
5365
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
5367
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
5368
properly and is no longer beneficial.
5369
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
5371
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
5374
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
5375
the file, and does it faster.
5376
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
5378
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
5379
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
5380
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
5382
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
5383
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
5384
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
5385
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
5387
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
5388
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
5389
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
5390
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
5392
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
5393
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
5395
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
5396
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
5397
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
5398
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
5401
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
5403
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
5404
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
5406
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
5407
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
5409
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
5410
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
5411
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
5412
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
5416
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
5417
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
5421
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
5422
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
5423
in running it. (Robert Collins)
5425
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
5426
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
5428
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
5429
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
5430
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
5431
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
5432
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
5433
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
5434
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
5435
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5437
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
5438
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
5439
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5441
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
5442
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
5443
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
5444
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
5445
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
5447
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5449
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
5450
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
5451
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
5453
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
5454
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
5462
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
5465
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
5466
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
5469
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
5470
-----------------------
5474
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
5475
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
5480
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
5481
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
5482
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
5483
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
5484
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
5485
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
5486
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
5487
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
5492
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
5493
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
5494
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
5496
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
5497
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
5500
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
5501
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
5502
(John Arbash Meinel)
5504
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
5505
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
5506
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
5507
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
5508
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
5512
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
5515
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
5516
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
5518
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
5519
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
5521
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
5522
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
5523
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
5525
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
5526
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
5528
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
5529
last-changed-revision for directories. The
5530
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
5531
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
5532
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
5534
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
5535
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
5536
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
5538
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
5541
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
5542
-----------------------
5544
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5546
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
5547
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
5548
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
5552
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
5553
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
5555
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
5556
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
5558
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
5560
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
5561
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
5563
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
5564
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
5568
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
5573
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
5574
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
5575
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
5576
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
5578
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
5579
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
5581
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
5582
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
5584
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
5587
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
5588
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
5591
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
5592
-----------------------
5596
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
5597
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
5598
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
5599
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
5600
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
5601
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
5603
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
5604
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
5605
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
5606
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
5607
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
5608
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
5610
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
5612
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
5613
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
5614
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
5615
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
5616
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
5617
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
5618
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
5619
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
5623
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
5624
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
5626
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
5627
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
5628
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
5629
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
5631
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
5632
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
5633
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
5634
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
5635
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
5637
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
5640
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
5643
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
5646
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
5647
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
5650
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
5653
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
5654
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
5656
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
5657
directory. (Martin Pool)
5659
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
5660
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
5661
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
5662
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
5664
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
5665
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
5666
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
5667
in docs/configuration.txt.
5669
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
5670
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
5673
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
5674
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
5675
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
5676
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
5677
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
5678
repositories. (Martin Pool)
5680
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
5681
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
5683
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
5684
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
5686
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
5691
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
5692
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
5693
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
5694
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
5695
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
5696
(John Arbash Meinel)
5698
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
5699
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
5702
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
5703
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
5704
(John Arbash Meinel)
5706
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
5707
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
5708
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
5709
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
5710
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
5711
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
5713
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
5714
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
5715
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
5717
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
5718
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
5719
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
5720
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
5722
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5724
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
5725
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
5726
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
5727
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
5729
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
5730
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
5731
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
5732
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
5734
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
5735
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
5736
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
5738
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
5739
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
5740
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
5742
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
5743
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
5744
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
5745
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
5747
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
5748
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
5749
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
5751
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
5752
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
5753
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
5755
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
5756
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
5757
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
5758
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
5759
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
5760
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
5761
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
5762
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
5763
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
5764
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
5765
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
5769
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
5770
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
5771
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
5773
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
5776
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
5777
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
5778
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
5779
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
5781
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
5782
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
5785
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
5786
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
5788
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
5790
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
5791
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
5792
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
5794
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
5795
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
5797
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
5798
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
5800
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
5801
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
5803
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
5804
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
5806
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
5808
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
5809
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
5813
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
5814
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
5818
--------------------
5822
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
5826
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
5827
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
5828
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
5830
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
5831
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
5832
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
5835
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
5836
-----------------------
5840
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
5841
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
5842
server, then you can write over the http connection.
5843
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5845
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
5848
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
5849
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
5850
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
5852
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
5853
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
5855
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
5858
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
5859
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
5860
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
5861
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
5862
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
5863
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
5865
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
5866
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
5867
should enable you to do::
5869
[/home/user/project]
5870
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
5871
push_location:policy = appendpath
5873
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
5874
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
5877
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
5878
for each file. For example::
5880
$ bzr status --short
5886
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
5887
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
5889
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
5891
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
5892
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
5894
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
5898
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
5899
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
5900
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
5901
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
5903
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
5904
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
5905
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
5907
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5909
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
5910
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
5911
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
5912
(Alexander Belchenko)
5914
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
5917
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
5918
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
5920
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
5924
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
5925
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
5927
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
5928
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
5929
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
5930
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
5931
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
5933
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
5934
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
5936
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
5937
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
5939
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
5941
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
5943
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
5944
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
5945
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
5946
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
5947
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
5949
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
5950
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
5951
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
5952
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
5954
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
5955
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
5957
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
5958
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
5960
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
5961
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
5963
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
5964
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)

No changes from 0.13rc1
5972
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
5973
-----------------------
5977
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
5979
(Daniel Silverstone)
5981
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
5982
operations are substantially faster.
5983
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
5985
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
5986
tree from some other url. For example:
5987
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
5988
(Daniel Silverstone)
5990
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
5991
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
5992
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
5993
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
5995
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
5998
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
5999
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
6000
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
6001
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
6002
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
6003
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
6007
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
6008
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
6011
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
6012
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
6013
(John Arbash Meinel)
6015
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
6016
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
6017
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
6018
(John Arbash Meinel)
6020
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
6021
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
6023
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
6024
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
6026
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
6027
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
6032
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
6033
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
6034
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
6036
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
6037
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
6038
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
6039
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
6041
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
6043
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
6044
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
6046
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
6047
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
6048
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
6049
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
6051
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
6052
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
6053
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
6055
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
6056
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
6057
them as full references rather than integers.
6058
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
6060
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
6061
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
6063
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
6065
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
6066
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
6068
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
6069
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
6071
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
6072
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
6073
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
6074
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
6076
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
6077
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
6078
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
6080
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
6081
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
6083
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
6084
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
6085
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
6086
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
6087
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
6091
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
6092
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
6095
--------------------
6099
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
6100
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
6101
(John Arbash Meinel)
6103
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
6104
-----------------------
6108
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
6109
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
6110
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
6111
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
6113
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
6114
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
6116
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
6118
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
6119
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
6120
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
6121
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
6123
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
6124
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
6125
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
6126
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
6127
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
6129
API INCOMPATABILITY:
6131
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
6132
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
6136
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
6137
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
6138
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
6140
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
6141
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
6142
(John Arbash Meinel)
6144
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
6145
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
6146
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
6148
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
6149
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
6152
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
6153
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
6154
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6156
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
6157
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
6158
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
6159
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
6160
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
6161
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6163
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
6164
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
6165
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
6168
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
6169
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
6173
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
6174
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
6175
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
6178
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
6179
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
6181
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
6182
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
6183
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
6185
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
6186
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
6188
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
6189
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
6190
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
6191
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
6193
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
6194
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
6196
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
6197
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
6198
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
6200
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
6201
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
6203
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
6205
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
6206
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
6211
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
6212
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
6213
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
6214
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
6216
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
6217
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
6218
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6221
--------------------
6223
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
6225
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
6226
-----------------------
6230
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
6232
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
6235
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
6236
-----------------------
6240
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
6241
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
6242
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
6243
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
6244
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
6245
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
6246
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
6248
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
6249
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
6250
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
6252
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
6254
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
6255
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
6257
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
6258
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
6259
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
6262
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
6263
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
6264
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
6265
(John Arbash Meinel)
6267
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
6268
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
6269
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
6270
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
6273
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
6274
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
6275
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
6276
(John Arbash Meinel)
6280
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
6281
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
6283
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
6285
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
6286
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
6287
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
6289
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
6290
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
6292
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
6293
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
6295
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
6296
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
6298
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
6299
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
6301
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
6303
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
6304
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
6306
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
6307
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
6309
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
6310
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
6312
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
6313
(John Arbash Meinel)
6315
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
6316
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
6317
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
6319
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
6320
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
6322
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
6323
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
6324
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
6325
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
6327
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
6328
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
6329
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
6331
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
6332
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
6336
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
6340
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
6341
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
6342
(John Arbash Meinel)
6344
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
6345
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
6346
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
6347
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
6349
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
6352
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
6353
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
6354
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
6356
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
6357
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
6359
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
6360
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
6361
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
6363
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
6364
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
6365
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
6366
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
6367
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
6368
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
6369
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
6370
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
6371
caller to repeat their request.
6372
(John Arbash Meinel)
6374
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
6375
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
6377
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
6378
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
6380
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
6381
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
6382
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
6383
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
6384
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
6385
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
6386
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
6388
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
6389
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
6390
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
6391
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
6392
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
6393
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
6394
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
6395
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
6398
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
6399
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
6400
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
6402
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
6403
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
6405
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
6406
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
6408
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
6409
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
6413
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
6414
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
6416
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
6417
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
6418
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
6420
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
6421
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
6422
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
6425
--------------------
6428
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
6429
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
6431
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
6432
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
6433
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
6434
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
6435
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
6437
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
6438
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
6439
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
6441
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
6442
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
6444
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
6445
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
6446
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6450
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
6452
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
6453
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
6454
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
6456
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
6458
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
6460
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
6461
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
6462
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
6463
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
6465
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
6466
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
6467
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
6468
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
6469
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
6471
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
6472
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
6474
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
6475
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
6477
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
6478
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
6480
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
6481
in handling of revision properties.
6482
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
6484
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
6485
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
6489
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
6490
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
6491
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
6492
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
6493
(John Arbash Meinel)
6495
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
6496
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
6497
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
6499
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
6500
---------------------
6504
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
6505
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
6506
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
6507
specific one '.bzrignore'.
6508
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
6509
a more conservative list than the old default.
6510
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
6511
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
6512
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
6513
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
6515
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
6516
to more locations than just branch locations.
6521
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
6522
revno:N:branch. For example,
6523
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
6524
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
6526
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
6527
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
6528
the path of a file that has been versioned.
6529
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
6530
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
6531
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
6532
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
6533
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
6536
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
6537
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
6538
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
6541
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
6542
(Alexander Belchenko)
6544
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
6546
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
6549
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
6550
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
6551
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
6552
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
6553
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
6554
(John Arbash Meinel)
6556
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
6557
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
6558
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
6559
grained analysis of performance.
6560
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
6562
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
6563
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
6565
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
6566
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
6567
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
6568
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
6569
file. (Robert Collins).
6571
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
6572
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
6573
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
6575
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
6576
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
6579
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
6580
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
6582
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
6583
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
6584
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
6585
the same way you would apply another branch.
6586
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
6588
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
6589
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
6591
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
6594
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
6597
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
6598
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
6599
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
6601
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
6602
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
6603
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
6605
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
6606
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
6608
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
6609
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
6610
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
6611
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
6612
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
6614
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
6615
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
6617
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
6618
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
6619
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
6620
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
6621
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
6622
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
6623
branch is as much as 4x faster.
6624
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
6626
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
6627
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
6628
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
6632
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
6634
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
6636
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
6637
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6639
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
6640
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
6642
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
6643
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
6645
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
6647
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
6648
(John Arbash Meinel)
6650
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
6651
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
6653
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
6654
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
6657
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
6658
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
6660
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
6661
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
6663
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
6664
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
6665
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
6666
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
6668
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
6669
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
6671
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
6673
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
6674
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
6676
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
6678
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
6680
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
6681
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
6683
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
6684
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
6686
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
6687
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
6688
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
6690
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
6691
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
6692
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
6694
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
6695
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
6697
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
6698
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
6700
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
6701
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
6703
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
6704
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
6706
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
6707
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
6709
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
6710
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
6711
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
6713
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
6715
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
6716
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
6720
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
6721
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
6722
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
6724
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
6725
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
6727
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
6728
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
6729
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
6731
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
6732
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
6734
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
6735
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
6738
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
6739
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
6740
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6742
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
6743
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
6744
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6746
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
6747
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
6748
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
6750
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
6751
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
6752
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
6754
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
6755
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
6756
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
6758
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
6759
instead. (Robert Collins)
6761
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
6763
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
6764
---------------------
6768
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
6770
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
6771
---------------------
6775
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
6776
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
6778
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
6779
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6781
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
6782
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
6783
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
6787
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
6789
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
6790
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
6792
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
6796
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
6797
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
6798
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
6799
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
6803
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
6804
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
6805
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
6809
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
6810
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
6811
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6815
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
6816
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
6821
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
6823
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
6824
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
6825
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
6826
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
6827
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
6828
will keep the same format.
6830
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
6831
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
6832
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
6833
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
6834
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
6836
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
6837
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
6838
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
6839
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
6840
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
6841
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
6842
indicating the current revision of the branch.
6844
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
6845
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
6846
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
6847
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
6848
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
6850
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
6851
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
6852
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
6858
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
6859
convention. Paths now take the form::
6861
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
6863
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
6865
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
6866
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
6868
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
6869
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
6870
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
6872
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
6873
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
6874
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
6875
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
6877
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
6878
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
6879
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
6881
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
6883
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
6885
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
6886
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
6889
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
6890
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
6893
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
6895
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
6896
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
6897
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
6900
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
6902
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
6904
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
6907
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
6908
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
6910
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
6911
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
6914
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
6915
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
6918
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
6920
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
6922
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
6923
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
6925
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
6926
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
6927
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
6928
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
6929
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
6930
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
6932
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
6934
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
6935
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
6938
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
6939
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
6941
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
6942
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
6944
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
6946
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
6947
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
6948
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
6949
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
6950
specification by Martin Pool.
6951
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
6953
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
6956
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
6957
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
6959
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
6960
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
6961
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
6963
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
6965
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
6966
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
6971
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
6972
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6974
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
6976
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
6978
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
6981
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
6982
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
6983
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
6984
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
6988
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
6989
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
6990
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
6991
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6993
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
6994
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
6995
tried. (Martin Pool)
6997
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
7000
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
7002
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
7003
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
7004
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
7006
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
7007
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
7009
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
7010
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
7011
paths. (Robert Collins)
7013
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
7014
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
7015
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
7017
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
7018
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
7019
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
7021
* Progress bars are now nested - see
7022
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
7023
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
7025
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
7028
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
7031
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
7033
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
7035
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
7036
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
7037
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
7040
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
7041
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
7043
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
7044
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
7045
check. (Robert Collins)
7047
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
7048
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
7052
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
7053
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
7055
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
7056
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
7057
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
7058
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
7060
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
7061
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
7062
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
7063
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
7064
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
7066
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
7067
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
7068
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
7070
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
7072
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
7073
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
7080
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
7081
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
7083
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
7084
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
7085
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
7088
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
7089
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
7091
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
7092
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
7093
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
7094
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
7095
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
7097
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
7098
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
7099
used. (Robert Collins)
7101
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
7102
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
7105
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
7106
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
7107
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
7109
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
7112
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
7113
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
7117
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
7118
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
7120
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
7122
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
7124
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
7125
tree. (Robert Collins)
7127
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
7128
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
7129
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
7132
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
7135
* Tweaks to short log printing
7137
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
7140
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
7141
occurs. (Martin Pool)
7143
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
7144
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
7146
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
7147
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
7149
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
7150
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
7151
settings. (Magnus Therning)
7153
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
7154
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
7156
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
7157
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
7160
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
7161
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
7163
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
7164
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
7166
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
7167
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
7169
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
7172
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
7173
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
7175
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
7176
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
7178
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
7179
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
7180
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
7184
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
7186
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
7188
* Error when run with -OO
7190
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
7193
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
7195
* Change status to 3 for all errors
7197
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
7198
ignored by diff and status
7200
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
7201
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
7203
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
7205
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
7207
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
7208
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
7210
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
7211
email address. (Marien Zwart)
7213
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
7216
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
7217
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
7219
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
7221
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
7222
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
7224
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
7227
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
7228
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
7230
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
7234
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
7235
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
7237
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
7239
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
7241
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
7243
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
7244
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
7245
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
7247
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
7249
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
7250
(John Arbash Meinel)
7252
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
7254
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
7255
If adding a new test script please add that to
7256
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
7258
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
7259
imported. (Martin Pool)
7261
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
7262
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
7263
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
7264
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
7265
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
7268
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
7269
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
7270
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
7272
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
7273
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
7274
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
7276
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
7277
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
7278
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
7279
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
7280
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
7283
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
7284
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
7289
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
7290
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
7292
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
7293
function. (Robert Collins)
7295
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
7296
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
7297
if needed). (Robert Collins)
7299
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
7300
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
7303
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
7304
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
7305
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
7306
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
7307
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
7308
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
7309
version. (Robert Collins)
7311
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
7312
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
7314
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
7315
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
7316
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
7317
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
7318
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
7319
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
7321
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
7324
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
7334
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
7336
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
7338
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
7341
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
7342
query method. (Robert Collins)
7344
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
7347
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
7350
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
7353
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
7354
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
7355
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
7356
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
7358
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
7359
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
7360
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
7361
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
7363
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
7364
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
7371
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
7374
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
7378
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
7379
a separator, not ':'.
7382
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
7383
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
7384
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
7386
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
7387
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
7390
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
7391
has been added that suppresses all output.
7393
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
7396
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
7397
Goffredo Baroncelli.
7399
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
7400
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
7402
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
7403
a revision. (Robert Collins)
7405
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
7406
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
7407
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
7408
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
7410
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
7412
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
7413
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
7415
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
7416
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
7418
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
7419
output directory, if one was supplied.
7421
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
7422
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
7423
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
7424
parameters. (Robert Collins)
7426
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
7428
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
7429
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
7431
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
7432
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
7433
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
7435
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
7436
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
7438
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
7441
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
7443
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
7447
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
7448
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
7449
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
7451
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
7452
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
7453
related questions. (Robert Collins)
7455
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
7456
is given. (Martin Pool)
7458
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
7459
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
7460
file. (Robert Collins)
7462
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
7467
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
7468
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
7469
representation. (Martin Pool).
7471
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
7472
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
7473
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
7475
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
7478
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
7479
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
7482
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
7483
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
7484
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
7485
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
7486
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
7488
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
7489
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
7490
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
7491
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
7492
python path. (Robert Collins)
7494
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
7495
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
7496
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
7497
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
7499
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
7500
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
7502
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
7503
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
7506
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
7507
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
7508
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
7510
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
7511
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
7512
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
7514
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
7515
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
7517
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
7518
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
7519
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
7522
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
7523
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
7524
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
7525
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
7528
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
7531
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
7532
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
7535
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
7536
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
7537
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
7539
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
7540
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
7541
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
7543
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
7544
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
7545
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
7547
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
7548
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
7550
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
7551
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
7552
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
7553
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
7554
caller. (Robert Collins)
7556
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
7557
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
7560
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
7561
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
7564
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
7566
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
7567
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
7571
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
7572
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
7574
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
7575
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
7578
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
7579
--------------------
7583
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
7584
allow directories to be listed.
7586
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
7587
upgrading branch format.
7591
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
7599
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
7600
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
7601
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
7602
high-latency connections.
7606
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
7609
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
7610
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
7612
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
7613
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
7614
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
7615
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
7617
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
7618
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
7620
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
7621
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
7623
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
7624
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
7625
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
7627
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
7628
for files with only a change to their executable status.
7629
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
7632
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
7633
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
7635
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
7636
different partial views of history.
7638
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
7639
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
7643
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
7644
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
7645
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
7647
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
7648
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
7651
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
7652
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
7654
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
7657
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
7658
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
7660
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
7661
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
7662
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
7663
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
7665
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
7667
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
7668
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
7671
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
7672
Contributed by Robert Collins.
7674
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
7675
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
7676
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
7681
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
7682
for your viewing pleasure.
7684
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
7685
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
7687
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
7688
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
7689
handling of such circumstances.
7691
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
7692
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
7693
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
7695
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
7697
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
7698
we call them revisions not patches.
7700
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
7701
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
7703
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
7704
giving the revision *of that file*.
7706
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
7707
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
7708
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
7712
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
7713
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
7715
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
7716
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
7719
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
7720
--------------------
7724
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
7726
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
7729
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
7731
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
7733
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
7734
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
7738
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
7739
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
7741
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
7742
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
7743
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
7744
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
7747
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
7748
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
7752
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
7754
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
7755
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
7758
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
7759
--------------------
7763
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
7764
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
7765
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
7766
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
7769
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
7772
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
7773
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
7774
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
7775
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
7776
for the operating system is still tried.
7778
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
7779
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
7780
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
7785
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
7789
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
7791
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
7794
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
7800
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
7802
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
7805
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
7806
--------------------
7810
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
7811
help with intelligent shell completion.
7813
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
7818
* Much better merge support.
7820
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
7821
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
7827
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
7828
mention revisions that are not present.
7830
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
7832
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
7834
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
7835
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
7840
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
7842
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
7843
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
7849
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
7850
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
7855
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
7856
--------------------
7860
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
7861
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
7863
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
7865
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
7866
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
7868
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
7871
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
7873
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
7876
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
7877
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
7879
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
7880
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
7881
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
7886
* Faster working tree operations.
7891
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
7892
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
7893
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
7894
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
7896
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
7897
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
7898
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
7899
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
7900
standard plugins directory.
7902
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
7903
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
7904
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
7905
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
7907
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
7908
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
7910
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
7913
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
7914
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
7915
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
7917
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
7918
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
7920
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
7921
line options must come before the command name because they
7922
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
7923
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
7926
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
7928
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
7929
is available with ``--short``.
7934
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
7937
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
7938
---------------------
7942
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
7943
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
7945
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
7946
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
7947
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
7948
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
7950
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
7951
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
7952
with the ``--forward`` option.
7954
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
7955
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
7961
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
7962
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
7964
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
7966
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
7967
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
7969
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
7971
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
7972
either read or write mode.
7974
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
7976
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
7979
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
7981
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
7982
suggested by LarstiQ.
7984
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
7985
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
7987
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
7990
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
7991
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
7993
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
7994
haven't changed since the previous time.
7996
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
7997
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
7999
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
8001
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
8003
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
8004
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
8006
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
8007
options through to an external GNU diff.
8009
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
8012
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
8018
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
8019
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
8021
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
8027
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
8028
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
8031
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
8032
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
8034
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
8035
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
8037
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
8038
under a different version.
8040
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
8045
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
8047
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
8048
Scott James Remnant.
8050
* Better help messages for many commands.
8052
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
8053
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
8055
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
8056
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
8058
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
8060
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
8062
* New AtomicFile class.
8064
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
8069
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
8070
2.4 is now only recommended.

bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
8074
---------------------
8078
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
8079
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
8081
* More default ignore patterns.
8083
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
8084
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
8086
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
8088
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
8091
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
8096
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
8097
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
8098
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
8099
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
8100
there are DNS problems.
8102
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
8107
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
8109
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
8111
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
8112
trailing newlines properly.
8117
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
8120
* More tests in test.sh.
8122
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
8123
directory and delete it when done.
8125
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
8130
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
8133
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
8137
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
8138
---------------------
8142
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
8145
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
8147
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
8150
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
8153

8155
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
8159
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
8160
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
8165
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
8166
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
8171
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
8175
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
8183
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
8186
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
8187
-----------------------------------
8191
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
8193
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
8194
rather than replacing it.
8196
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
8200
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
8203
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
8204
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
8206
* Performance improvements.
8208
* New global --profile option.
8210
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
8211
the root directory only.
8214
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
8215
---------------------
8219
* More information from info command.
8221
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
8223

8224
committing to stores.
8226
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
8230
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
8234

8235
installation easier.
8237
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
