13
* bzr no longer autodetects nested trees as 'tree-references'. They
14
must now be explicitly added tree references. At the commandline, use
15
join --reference instead of add. (Aaron Bentley)
21
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
22
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
24
* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!
31
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.
32
(James Westby, #336998)
36
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
37
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
38
Meinel, Robert Collins)

bzr 1.13rc1 "paraskavedekatriaphobia" 2009-03-10
44
------------------------------------------------
45
This release includes bug fixes and a few performance and feature improvements.
46
GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --format gnu-changelog``.
47
Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``. Lightweight Checkouts
48
and Stacked Branches should both be much faster over remote connections.
52
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
53
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
54
command may need to be adjusted.
55
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
59
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
60
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
61
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
63
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
66
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
67
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
68
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
71
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --format
72
gnu-changelog``. (Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
74
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
77
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
78
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
80
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernoij)
82
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
83
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
88
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
89
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
91
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
92
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
93
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
95
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
96
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
98
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
99
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
100
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
103
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
104
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
105
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
107
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
108
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
109
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
110
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
112
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
115
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
116
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
118
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
119
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
121
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
122
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
123
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
125
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
129
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
130
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
131
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
133
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
134
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
136
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
137
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
140
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
141
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
142
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
144
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
145
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
147
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
148
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
150
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
151
(James Westby, #174539)
153
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
154
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
156
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
157
error branching from old repositories.
158
(Martin Pool, #321695)
160
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
161
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
163
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
164
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
165
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
166
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
168
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
169
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko)
171
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
172
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
174
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
175
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
177
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
178
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
182
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
183
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
187
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
188
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
189
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
192
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
193
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
195
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.
196
(Daniel Watkins, #327421, #327425)
200
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
201
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
202
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
203
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
204
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
206
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
207
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
208
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
209
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
210
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
211
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
213
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
214
"author" argument being deprecated.
216
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
218
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
219
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
220
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
221
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
223
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
224
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
225
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
227
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
228
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
229
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
231
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
232
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
234
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
235
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
236
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
237
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
241
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
242
free of virtual file system methods.
243
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
245
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
246
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
247
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
249
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
250
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
251
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
252
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
253
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
254
(Robert Collins, #334187)
256
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
258
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
259
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
261
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
262
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
263
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
264
stream the operation.
265
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
267
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
268
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
270
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
271
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
272
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
273
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
274
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
276
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
277
branch object. (Robert Collins)
279
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
280
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
281
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
283
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
284
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
287
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
290
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
291
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
292
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
294
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
295
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
296
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
298
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
299
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
300
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
302
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
303
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
304
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
306
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
307
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
308
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
309
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
310
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
312
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
313
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
314
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
315
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
316
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
317
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
319
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
320
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
321
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
322
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
323
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
325
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
326
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
328
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
329
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
331
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
332
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
333
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
334
to access private data in record to obtain content more
335
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
337
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
338
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.
342
bzr 1.12 "1234567890" 2009-02-13
343
--------------------------------
345
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
346
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
347
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
348
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
349
by showing the rate of network IO.
353
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
354
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
358
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
359
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
362
bzr 1.12rc1 "1234567890" 2009-02-10
363
-----------------------------------
365
COMPATIBILITY BREAKS:
367
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
368
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
369
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
370
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
372
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
373
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
374
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
377
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
378
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
379
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
380
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
382
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
383
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
384
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
387
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
391
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
392
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
393
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
396
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
397
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
398
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
400
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
401
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
402
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
403
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
404
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
405
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
406
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
407
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
408
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
413
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
416
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
419
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
420
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
421
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
423
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
424
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
425
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
426
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
427
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
429
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
430
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
432
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
433
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
434
level for better precision.
437
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
438
rules. (Marius Kruger)
440
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
441
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
442
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
444
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
445
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
446
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
449
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
450
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
451
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
455
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
457
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
459
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
460
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
461
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
463
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
464
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
465
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
466
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
467
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
468
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
470
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
471
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
473
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
474
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
476
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
477
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
478
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
480
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
481
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
482
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
485
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
486
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
488
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
489
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
490
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
491
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
493
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
494
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
496
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
498
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)
502
* Improved plugin developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
506
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
507
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
510
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
511
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
513
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
514
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
516
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
517
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
519
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
520
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
521
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
522
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
524
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
525
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
526
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
530
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
531
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
532
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
533
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
534
compile buffers, are such an example).
537
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
538
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
541
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
542
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
543
efficient way of doing the mapping.
546
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
547
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
549
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
550
formatters to retrict the output.
554
bzr 1.11 "Eyes up!" 2009-01-19
555
------------------------------
557
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
558
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
559
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
560
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
561
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
563
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
564
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
567
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
568
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.
572
* Fix failing test when CompiledChunksToLines is not available.
575
* Stacked branches don't repeatedly open their transport connection.
580
bzr 1.11rc1 "Eyes up!" 2009-01-09
581
---------------------------------
585
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
586
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
590
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
591
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
593
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
594
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
595
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
596
implement other plugins.
599
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
604
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
605
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
607
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
608
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
610
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
611
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
612
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
613
processes which drag in shell extensions.
616
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
617
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
618
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
619
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
620
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
622
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
623
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
624
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
625
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
626
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
630
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
631
control directory. (#139691)
633
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
634
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
636
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
637
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
639
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
640
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
641
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
643
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
644
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
646
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
647
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
648
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
650
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
651
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
653
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
656
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
657
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
658
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
660
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
661
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
663
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
664
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
665
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
667
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
668
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
669
in the appropriate sections.
670
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
672
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
673
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
676
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
677
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
679
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
680
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
682
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
683
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
685
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
686
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
687
work better with how it splits its requests.
688
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
690
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
691
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
692
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
694
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
697
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
699
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
700
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
702
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
707
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
708
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
709
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
714
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
715
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
716
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
717
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
719
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
720
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
722
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
723
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
724
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
725
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
727
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
728
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
729
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
730
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
734
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
735
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
736
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
738
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
739
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
740
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
741
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
743
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
744
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
745
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
750
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
751
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
754
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
755
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
756
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
759
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
760
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
761
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
762
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
764
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
765
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
766
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
768
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
769
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
770
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
771
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
773
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
774
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
775
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
776
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
779
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
780
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
782
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
783
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
784
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
786
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
787
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
788
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
789
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
791
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
792
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
793
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
796
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
797
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
798
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
799
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
800
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
801
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
802
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
804
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
805
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)
812
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
813
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
814
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
815
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
818
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
822
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
823
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
824
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
825
(Martin Pool, #303856)
827
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
828
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
829
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
830
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
831
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)
834
bzr 1.10rc1 2008-11-28
835
----------------------
837
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
838
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
839
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
840
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
841
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
845
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
846
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
848
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
853
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
854
history just to set the last revision info.
855
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
857
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
858
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
859
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
860
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
862
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
863
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
864
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
865
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
868
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
869
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
871
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
872
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
873
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
874
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
875
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
877
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
878
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
879
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
880
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
884
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
885
(Martin Pool, #289148)
887
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
888
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
890
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
891
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
892
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
893
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
895
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
896
starting with a dotted revno.
897
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
899
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
900
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
901
(Martin Pool, #288751)
903
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
904
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
905
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
907
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
908
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
909
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
911
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
912
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
913
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
914
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
916
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
917
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
918
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
920
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
921
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
925
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
926
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
927
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
928
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
930
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
931
have changed incompatibly.
933
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
934
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
935
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
936
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
937
don't need to change.
939
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
940
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
944
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
945
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
947
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
953
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
954
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
955
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
956
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
957
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
958
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
962
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
963
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
965
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
967
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
968
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.
969
(John Arbash Meinel, #293746)
972
bzr 1.9rc1 2008-10-31
973
---------------------
977
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
978
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
980
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
981
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
982
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
983
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
987
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
988
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
989
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
990
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
991
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
992
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
994
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
995
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
997
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
998
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
999
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
1001
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
1002
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
1003
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
1006
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
1007
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
1009
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
1010
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
1012
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
1013
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
1015
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
1016
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
1017
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
1018
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
1019
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
1020
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
1021
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
1022
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
1023
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
1024
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
1028
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
1029
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
1031
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
1032
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
1034
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
1035
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
1036
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
1038
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
1039
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
1040
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
1042
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
1043
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
1044
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
1046
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
1047
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
1048
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
1049
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
1050
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
1051
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
1053
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
1054
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
1056
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
1057
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
1059
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
1060
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
1061
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
1062
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
1063
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
1065
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
1066
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
1067
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
1068
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
1072
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
1076
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
1080
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
1081
configuration of authetication credentials.
1087
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
1088
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
1089
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
1090
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
1091
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
1095
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
1096
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
1100
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
1101
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
1104
bzr 1.8rc1 2008-10-07
1105
---------------------
1109
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
1110
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
1111
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
1112
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
1113
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
1115
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
1116
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
1118
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
1119
server. (Marius Kruger)
1121
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
1122
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
1123
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
1124
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
1125
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
1126
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
1130
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
1131
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
1132
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
1134
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
1138
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
1139
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
1140
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
1141
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
1143
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
1144
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
1147
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
1148
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
1151
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
1154
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
1156
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
1157
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
1159
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
1160
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
1162
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
1163
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
1164
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
1165
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
1166
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
1167
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
1168
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
1169
operations. (Robert Collins)
1171
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
1173
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
1174
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
1175
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
1179
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
1180
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
1181
(Martin Pool, #279381)
1183
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
1184
repository now preserves the repository format.
1185
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
1187
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
1188
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
1190
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
1191
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
1193
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
1195
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
1197
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
1200
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
1201
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
1202
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
1204
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
1205
is in a different repository than the current one.
1206
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
1208
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
1209
(David Futcher, #242106)
1211
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
1212
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1214
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
1215
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
1216
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
1217
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
1219
* Trivial documentation fix.
1220
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
1222
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
1223
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
1224
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
1225
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
1229
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
1233
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
1234
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
1235
to use. (Robert Collins)
1237
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
1238
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
1239
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
1241
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
1242
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
1243
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
1244
they want. (Robert Collins)
1248
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
1249
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
1250
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
1252
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
1253
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
1256
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
1259
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
1260
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
1262
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
1267
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
1268
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
1270
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
1271
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
1272
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
1274
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
1275
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
1276
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
1278
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
1279
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1281
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
1282
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
1284
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
1285
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
1287
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
1288
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
1289
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
1290
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept
1295
bzr 1.7.1 2008-10-01
1296
--------------------
1298
No changes from 1.7.1rc1.
1301
bzr 1.7.1rc1 2008-09-24
1302
-----------------------
1304
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
1305
file paths when we encounter complex history.
1309
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
1310
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
1311
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
1312
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.
1313
(John Arbash Meinel)
1319
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
1320
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
1321
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
1322
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
1323
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
1324
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.
1328
* Some small updates to the win32 installer. Include localization
1329
files found in plugins, and include the builtin distutils as part of
1330
packaging qbzr. (Mark Hammond)
1333
bzr 1.7rc2 2008-09-17
1334
---------------------
1336
A few bug fixes from 1.7rc1. The biggest change is a new
1337
``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
1338
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
1339
connect to the stacked-on location.
1343
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
1344
repository now preserves the repository format.
1345
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
1347
* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect
1348
to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
1350
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
1353
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
1357
bzr 1.7rc1 2008-09-09
1358
---------------------
1360
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
1361
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
1362
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
1363
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
1364
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
1365
it in a future repository format.
1370
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
1373
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
1374
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
1375
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
1377
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
1378
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
1379
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
1383
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
1384
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
1386
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
1390
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
1391
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
1394
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
1395
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
1397
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
1398
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
1401
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
1402
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
1403
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
1404
(John Arbash Meinel)
1406
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
1407
(Martin Pool, #261315)
1409
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
1410
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
1411
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
1412
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
1413
(John Arbash Meinel)
1415
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
1416
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
1417
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
1418
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
1419
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
1420
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
1421
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
1422
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
1423
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
1424
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1428
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
1429
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
1431
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
1432
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
1433
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
1435
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
1436
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
1437
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
1439
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
1440
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
1441
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
1442
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
1443
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
1444
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
1446
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
1447
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
1449
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
1450
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
1452
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
1453
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
1454
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
1455
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
1456
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
1457
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
1459
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
1460
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
1462
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
1463
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
1465
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
1466
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
1467
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
1468
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
1470
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
1471
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
1473
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
1474
assuming the host name is ascii.
1475
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
1477
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
1478
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
1482
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
1486
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
1488
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
1489
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
1490
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
1493
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
1494
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1496
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
1497
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
1499
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
1500
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
1504
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
1505
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
1506
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
1507
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
1509
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
1513
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
1514
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
1515
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1517
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
1522
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
1523
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
1526
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
1527
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
1528
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
1529
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
1530
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1532
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
1533
is unknown in both source and target.
1534
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
1536
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
1537
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
1538
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
1539
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1541
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
1542
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
1543
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
1544
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1547
bzr 1.6.1 2008-09-05
1548
--------------------
1550
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
1551
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
1552
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
1555
bzr 1.6.1rc2 2008-09-03
1556
-----------------------
1560
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
1561
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
1562
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
1563
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
1566
bzr 1.6.1rc1 2008-08-29
1567
-----------------------
1569
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
1570
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
1571
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
1572
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
1573
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
1574
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
1575
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
1576
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
1577
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
1578
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
1579
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
1580
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
1584
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
1585
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
1586
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
1587
start of the string (causing more copies).
1588
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
1589
especially for projects with large files.
1590
(John Arbash Meinel)
1592
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
1593
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
1594
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
1595
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
1596
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
1598
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
1599
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
1600
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
1601
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
1602
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.
1603
(John Arbash Meinel, #262333)
1609
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
1610
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
1611
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
1612
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
1613
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
1614
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
1615
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
1616
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
1617
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
1620
bzr 1.6rc5 2008-08-19
1621
---------------------
1625
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
1626
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
1627
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
1628
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
1629
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
1632
bzr 1.6rc4 2008-08-18
1633
---------------------
1637
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
1638
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
1639
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
1642
bzr 1.6rc3 2008-08-14
1643
---------------------
1647
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
1648
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
1653
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
1654
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
1655
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
1660
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
1661
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
1662
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
1664
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
1665
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
1666
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
1667
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
1668
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
1669
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
1670
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
1673
bzr 1.6rc2 2008-08-13
1674
---------------------
1676
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
1681
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
1682
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
1684
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
1685
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
1688
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
1689
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
1690
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
1691
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
1692
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
1694
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
1695
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1697
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
1698
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
1700
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
1701
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
1703
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
1704
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
1705
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
1706
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
1707
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
1708
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
1711
bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
1712
---------------------
1714
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
1715
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
1716
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
1717
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
1718
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
1722
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
1723
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
1724
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
1728
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
1729
check. (Daniel Watkins)
1731
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
1732
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
1734
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
1735
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
1736
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1738
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
1741
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
1742
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
1743
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
1744
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
1745
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
1746
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
1747
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1749
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
1750
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
1751
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
1755
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
1756
physical repository boundaries.
1757
(Martin Pool, #252428)
1759
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
1760
(Martin Pool, #206258)
1762
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
1763
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
1766
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
1769
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
1770
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
1771
that Python is running from.
1772
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
1774
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
1775
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
1776
(Robert Collins, #150438)
1778
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
1779
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
1781
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
1782
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
1783
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
1785
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
1786
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
1788
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
1789
(James Westby, #248448)
1793
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
1794
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
1795
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
1798
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
1799
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
1802
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
1803
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
1804
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
1805
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
1806
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
1807
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
1810
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
1811
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1813
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
1814
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
1815
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
1816
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
1817
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
1818
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
1822
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
1823
putting together a real history without having to create a full
1824
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
1825
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
1826
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
1827
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1829
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
1830
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
1831
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
1833
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
1836
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
1837
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
1839
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
1843
bzr 1.6beta3 2008-07-17
1844
-----------------------
1846
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
1847
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
1848
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
1849
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
1854
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
1855
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
1856
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
1858
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
1859
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
1860
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
1861
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
1862
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
1865
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
1867
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
1868
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
1869
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
1874
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
1875
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
1878
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
1879
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
1880
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
1881
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
1883
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
1884
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
1885
(Christophe Troestler)
1887
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
1888
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
1890
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
1891
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
1892
faster. The new request method name is
1893
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1897
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
1898
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
1899
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
1900
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
1901
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
1903
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
1904
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
1906
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
1907
requires a branch to be present.
1908
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
1910
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
1912
(Martin Pool, #205230)
1914
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
1915
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
1916
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
1917
(Martin Pool, #240161)
1919
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
1920
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
1922
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
1924
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
1926
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
1927
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
1928
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
1929
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
1930
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
1932
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
1933
(Martin Pool, #172870)
1935
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
1936
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
1938
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
1940
(Matt McClure, #209281)
1942
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
1943
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
1945
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
1946
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
1950
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
1953
* Updated developer documentation.
1958
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
1959
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
1961
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
1962
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
1963
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
1964
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
1968
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
1969
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
1970
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
1971
Repository docstring for more details.
1974
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
1975
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
1976
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
1978
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
1979
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
1982
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
1983
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
1984
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
1985
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
1989
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
1990
(Alexander Belchenko)
1992
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
1993
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
1994
containing a given location.
1997
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
1998
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
1999
storage. (Robert Collins)
2001
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
2004
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
2005
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
2009
bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
2010
-----------------------
2012
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
2013
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
2014
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
2019
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
2020
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
2021
reading from the repository.)
2022
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
2024
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
2025
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
2027
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
2028
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
2031
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
2032
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
2033
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
2035
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
2036
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
2037
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
2039
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
2040
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
2042
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
2043
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
2044
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
2045
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
2049
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
2051
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
2052
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
2053
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
2056
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
2057
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
2061
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2065
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
2066
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
2070
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
2071
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
2072
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
2073
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
2074
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
2076
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
2077
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
2081
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
2082
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
2084
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
2085
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
2088
bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
2089
-----------------------
2092
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
2093
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
2094
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
2095
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
2096
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
2097
and future extensions.
2100
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2102
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
2103
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
2104
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
2105
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
2106
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
2107
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
2108
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
2109
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
2113
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
2114
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
2115
(John Arbash Meinel)
2119
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
2120
load. (James Westby)
2124
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
2125
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
2126
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
2127
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2129
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
2130
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
2131
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
2133
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
2134
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
2136
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
2137
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
2138
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
2140
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
2141
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
2142
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
2143
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
2144
step closer to not using full revision history.
2145
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
2149
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
2150
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
2152
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
2153
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
2155
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
2156
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
2158
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
2159
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
2160
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
2161
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
2163
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
2164
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
2165
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
2166
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
2168
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
2169
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
2170
in use by another process.
2173
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
2174
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
2175
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
2176
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
2178
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
2179
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
2181
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
2182
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
2183
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
2185
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
2186
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
2187
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
2189
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
2191
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
2193
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
2194
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
2196
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
2197
under vim on Mac OS X.
2198
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2200
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
2201
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
2205
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
2206
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
2208
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
2209
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
2212
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
2213
and about use of Python reprs.
2214
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
2216
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
2220
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
2223
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
2224
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
2226
* New helper function for splitting test suites
2227
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
2231
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
2232
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
2233
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
2234
(John Arbash Meinel)
2238
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
2239
instead. (Martin Pool)
2241
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
2242
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
2243
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
2244
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
2246
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
2247
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
2248
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
2249
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
2250
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
2252
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
2253
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
2254
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
2255
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
2256
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
2257
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
2259
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
2260
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
2263
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
2264
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
2267
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
2268
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
2269
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
2270
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
2272
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
2273
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
2274
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
2276
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
2277
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
2278
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
2279
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
2280
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
2283
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
2284
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
2285
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
2286
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
2289
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
2290
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
2291
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
2292
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
2293
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
2295
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
2302
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
2303
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
2304
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
2308
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
2309
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
2310
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
2314
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
2315
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2326
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
2327
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
2328
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
2329
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
2335
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
2336
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
2338
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
2339
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
2341
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
2346
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
2347
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
2349
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
2350
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
2352
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
2353
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
2354
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
2356
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
2357
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
2358
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
2360
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
2363
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
2364
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
2366
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
2367
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
2369
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
2370
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
2372
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
2373
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
2375
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
2376
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
2377
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
2379
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
2380
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
2382
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
2383
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
2385
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
2386
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
2387
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
2388
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
2390
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
2391
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
2394
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
2395
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
2396
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
2398
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
2399
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
2400
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
2401
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
2402
every revision each side had in common.
2403
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2405
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
2406
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
2408
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
2409
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
2410
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
2411
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
2415
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
2416
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
2417
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
2418
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
2420
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
2422
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
2424
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
2425
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
2429
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
2430
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
2431
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
2433
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
2434
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
2435
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
2436
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
2438
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
2439
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2441
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
2442
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
2443
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
2444
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2446
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
2447
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
2448
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
2449
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2453
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
2454
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
2455
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
2457
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
2459
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
2460
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
2462
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
2463
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2465
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
2466
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
2470
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
2471
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
2472
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
2474
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
2475
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
2476
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
2479
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
2480
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
2483
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.
2490
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
2491
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
2492
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
2493
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
2494
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
2495
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
2496
and faster performance.
2500
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
2501
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
2502
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

2506
bzr 1.4rc2 2008-04-21
2507
---------------------
2511
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
2512
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
2513
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
2515
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
2516
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
2518
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
2519
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
2521
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
2522
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
2523
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
2524
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
2525
every revision each side had in common.
2526
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2529
bzr 1.4rc1 2008-04-11
2530
---------------------
2534
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
2536
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
2537
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
2539
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
2540
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
2541
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
2543
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
2544
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
2545
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
2546
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
2547
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
2548
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
2551
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
2552
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
2553
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
2554
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
2558
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
2560
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
2561
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
2562
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
2564
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
2565
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
2566
See the User Reference for signature details.
2567
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
2569
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
2570
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
2574
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
2575
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
2576
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
2577
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2579
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
2580
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
2582
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
2583
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
2584
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
2587
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
2590
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
2591
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
2592
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
2594
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
2597
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
2598
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
2600
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
2601
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
2603
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
2604
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
2605
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
2607
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
2608
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
2609
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
2610
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
2611
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
2613
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
2614
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
2616
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
2617
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2621
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
2622
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
2623
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
2624
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
2625
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
2626
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
2628
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
2629
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
2631
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
2632
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
2633
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
2635
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
2636
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
2638
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
2639
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
2640
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
2641
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2643
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
2644
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
2645
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
2646
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
2647
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
2649
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
2651
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
2652
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
2654
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
2656
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
2657
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
2659
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
2660
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
2664
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
2666
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
2668
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2670
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
2674
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
2675
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
2676
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
2678
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
2679
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
2680
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
2681
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
2683
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
2684
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
2685
release. (James Westby)
2687
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
2690
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
2692
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
2693
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
2695
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
2696
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
2698
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
2699
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
2701
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
2702
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
2703
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
2705
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
2706
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
2707
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
2708
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
2710
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
2711
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
2712
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
2713
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
2715
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
2716
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
2717
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
2718
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
2719
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
2720
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
2722
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
2723
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
2724
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
2726
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
2727
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
2729
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
2730
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
2733
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
2734
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
2736
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
2737
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
2739
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
2740
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
2742
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
2743
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
2744
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
2746
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
2747
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
2748
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
2749
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
2750
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
2751
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
2755
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
2756
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
2757
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
2758
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
2760
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
2761
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
2762
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
2763
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
2767
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
2768
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
2771
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
2772
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
2774
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
2776
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
2777
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
2778
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
2782
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2784
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
2787
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
2788
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
2789
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
2790
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
2791
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
2792
(Martin Pool, #109520)
2794
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
2795
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
2797
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
2798
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
2799
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
2800
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
2802
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
2803
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
2805
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
2806
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
2853
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
2854
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
2855
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
2858
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
2859
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
2860
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
2861
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
2862
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
2863
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
2865
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
2866
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
2867
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
2868
(Alexander Belchenko)
2870
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2872
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
2873
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
2877
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
2878
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
2880
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
2881
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
2886
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
2888
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2890
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
2891
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
2892
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
2894
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
2895
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
2897
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
2898
to. (Daniel Watkins)
2900
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
2901
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
2902
(Alexander Belchenko)
2904
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
2905
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
2906
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
2907
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
2909
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
2912
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
2913
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
2914
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
2915
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
2916
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2920
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
2921
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
2922
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
2923
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
2925
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
2926
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
2928
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
2929
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
2931
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
2932
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
2933
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
2935
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
2936
(#198793, John Ferlito)
2938
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
2941
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
2942
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
2944
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
2946
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
2948
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
2949
symlinks (James Henstridge)
2951
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
2952
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
2954
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
2955
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
2957
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
2958
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
2960
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
2961
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
2963
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
2964
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
2968
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
2969
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2973
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
2974
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
2975
(Alexander Belchenko)
2979
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
2981
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
2982
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
2987
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
2988
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
2989
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
2991
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
2992
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
2993
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
2994
(Alexander Belchenko)
2996
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
2997
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
2998
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
2999
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
3001
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
3002
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
3003
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
3006
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
3007
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
3008
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
3010
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
3011
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
3012
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
3014
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
3015
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
3016
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
3017
format. (Robert Collins)
3025
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
3028
bzr 1.2rc1 2008-02-13
3029
---------------------
3031
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3033
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
3034
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
3035
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
3036
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
3037
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
3042
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
3043
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
3045
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
3046
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
3047
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
3049
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
3050
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
3051
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
3052
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
3053
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
3054
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
3059
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
3060
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3062
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
3063
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
3064
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
3067
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
3068
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
3069
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
3070
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
3071
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
3073
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
3074
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
3075
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
3076
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
3077
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
3078
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
3079
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
3080
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
3084
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
3085
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
3087
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
3088
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
3090
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
3091
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3093
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
3094
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
3095
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
3097
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
3098
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
3099
(John Arbash Meinel)
3103
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
3104
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
3106
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
3107
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
3109
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
3110
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
3112
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
3113
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
3114
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
3116
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
3117
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
3118
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
3120
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
3121
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
3123
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
3124
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
3125
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
3126
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
3127
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
3129
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
3131
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
3132
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
3135
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
3136
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
3138
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
3139
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
3141
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
3142
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
3144
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
3145
more characters which should be considered valid.
3146
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
3148
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
3149
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
3151
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
3152
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
3156
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
3157
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
3159
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
3160
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
3165
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
3166
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
3171
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
3172
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
3173
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
3175
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
3176
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
3177
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
3179
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
3180
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
3181
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
3182
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
3184
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
3186
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
3187
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
3188
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
3189
server. (Robert Collins)
3191
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
3192
operate. (Robert Collins)
3194
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
3195
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
3196
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
3198
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
3199
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
3200
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
3201
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
3203
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
3204
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
3206
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
3207
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
3208
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
3210
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
3211
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
3213
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
3214
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
3216
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
3217
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
3218
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
3219
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)
3225
(no changes from 1.1rc1)
3227
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
3228
---------------------
3232
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
3233
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
3234
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
3235
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
3237
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
3238
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
3239
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
3240
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
3244
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
3247
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
3250
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
3251
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
3255
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
3258
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
3259
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
3260
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
3262
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
3264
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
3265
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
3266
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
3267
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
3268
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
3270
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
3271
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
3272
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
3274
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
3275
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
3277
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
3280
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
3282
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
3284
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
3287
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
3288
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
3292
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
3293
(Martin Pool, #180208)
3295
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
3296
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
3298
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
3301
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
3302
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
3304
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
3305
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
3307
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
3308
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3310
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
3311
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
3313
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
3314
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
3315
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
3317
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
3318
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
3320
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
3321
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
3324
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
3326
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
3327
user:pass embedded in the urls.
3328
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
3330
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
3331
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
3333
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
3336
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
3339
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
3340
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
3342
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
3345
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
3346
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
3349
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
3350
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
3351
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
3355
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
3358
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
3359
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
3360
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
3361
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
3362
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
3363
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
3365
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
3369
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
3372
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
3373
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
3375
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
3377
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
3378
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
3379
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
3382
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
3383
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3385
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
3392
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
3393
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
3394
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
3396
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
3397
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
3400
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
3401
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
3403
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
3404
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
3406
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
3407
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
3409
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
3410
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
3411
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
3413
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
3414
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
3416
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
3417
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
3419
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
3420
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
3423
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
3424
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
3426
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
3427
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
3435
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
3437
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
3440
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
3442
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
3443
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
3447
bzr 1.0rc3 2007-12-11
3448
---------------------
3452
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
3453
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
3454
by mail to the mailing list.
3459
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
3461
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
3462
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
3463
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
3464
feedback but also incur more latency.
3465
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
3467
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
3468
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
3472
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
3474
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
3479
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
3480
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
3481
wraps its output in a StringIO.
3485
bzr 1.0rc2 2007-12-07
3486
---------------------
3490
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
3492
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
3495
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
3498
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
3499
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
3500
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
3501
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3503
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
3506
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
3507
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
3509
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
3510
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
3511
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
3513
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
3514
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
3515
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
3516
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
3517
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
3518
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
3519
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
3520
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
3521
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
3525
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
3528
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
3532
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
3533
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
3535
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
3537
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
3539
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
3540
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
3542
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
3544
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
3545
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
3547
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
3548
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
3552
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
3553
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)
3556
bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
3557
---------------------
3559
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3561
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
3562
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
3563
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
3564
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
3566
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
3567
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
3569
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
3570
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
3572
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
3573
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
3574
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
3575
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
3576
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
3577
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
3578
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
3579
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
3580
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
3581
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
3582
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
3583
from any tree without problems.
3584
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
3588
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
3589
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
3590
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
3592
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
3593
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
3594
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
3599
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
3600
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
3601
supported transports.
3604
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
3605
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
3606
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
3608
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
3609
(Robert Collins, #154173)
3611
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
3612
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
3613
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
3614
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
3616
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
3617
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
3621
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
3622
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
3623
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
3624
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3626
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
3627
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
3628
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
3629
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
3631
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
3632
(Robert Collins, #88319)
3634
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
3635
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
3637
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
3638
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
3640
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
3641
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
3646
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
3649
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
3650
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
3653
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
3654
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
3655
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
3656
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
3658
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
3659
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
3660
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
3661
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
3667
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
3668
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
3670
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
3671
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
3673
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
3674
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
3676
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
3677
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
3679
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
3680
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
3682
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
3683
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
3685
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
3686
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
3688
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
3691
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
3692
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
3694
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
3695
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
3696
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
3698
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
3699
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
3701
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
3702
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
3704
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
3705
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
3707
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
3708
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
3710
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
3711
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
3712
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
3713
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
3715
(Martin Pool, #164637)
3717
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
3718
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
3719
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
3721
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
3722
(Robert Collins, #161240)
3724
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
3726
(Martin Pool, #164443)
3728
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
3729
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
3731
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
3732
specify a port in urls.
3733
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
3735
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
3736
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
3738
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
3739
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
3741
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
3742
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
3744
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
3745
(Robert Collins, #153789)
3747
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
3748
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
3749
(Robert Collins, #165304).
3751
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
3753
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
3754
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
3756
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
3759
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
3760
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
3762
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
3763
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
3765
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
3766
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
3767
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
3769
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
3770
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
3772
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
3773
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
3774
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
3775
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
3777
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
3778
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
3780
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
3781
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
3782
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
3784
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
3785
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
3787
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
3788
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
3790
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
3791
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
3795
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
3796
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
3798
* The return value of
3799
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
3800
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
3801
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
3802
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
3804
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
3807
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
3808
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
3814
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
3815
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
3816
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
3819
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
3820
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
3822
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
3832
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
3835
bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29
3836
----------------------
3838
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3842
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
3843
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
3845
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
3846
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
3847
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
3848
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
3849
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
3850
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
3851
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
3852
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
3853
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
3854
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
3855
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
3856
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
3861
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
3862
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
3863
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
3864
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
3865
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
3866
for further details. (Robert Collins)
3868
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
3869
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
3870
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
3873
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
3875
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
3876
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
3878
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
3879
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
3882
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
3883
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
3884
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
3888
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
3889
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
3891
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
3892
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
3894
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
3895
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
3896
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
3897
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
3899
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
3902
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
3903
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
3904
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
3905
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
3907
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
3908
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
3910
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
3911
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
3913
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
3914
the contents. (Robert Collins)
3916
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
3917
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
3921
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
3922
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
3924
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
3925
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
3927
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
3928
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
3930
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
3931
(Martin Pool, #63894)
3933
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
3934
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
3938
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
3940
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
3945
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
3946
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
3947
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
3949
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
3950
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
3952
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
3953
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
3955
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
3956
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
3957
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
3958
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
3960
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
3961
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
3962
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
3963
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
3964
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
3966
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
3967
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
3969
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
3971
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3973
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
3974
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
3976
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
3977
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
3979
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
3980
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
3982
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
3983
contains a symbolic link.
3984
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
3986
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
3987
(James Westby, #140615)
3989
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
3990
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
3991
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
3993
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
3994
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
3995
(Martin Pool, #144633)
3997
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3999
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
4000
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
4002
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
4004
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
4006
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
4007
directory to detect leaking tests.
4008
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
4010
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
4011
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
4012
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
4014
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
4017
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
4018
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
4020
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
4025
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
4026
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
4028
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
4029
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
4030
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
4032
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
4033
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
4034
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
4036
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
4037
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
4039
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
4040
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
4042
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
4043
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
4046
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
4047
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
4049
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
4050
class that needs it.
4053
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
4054
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
4056
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
4057
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
4058
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
4060
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
4061
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
4062
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
4065
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
4066
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
4067
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
4068
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
4073
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
4074
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
4075
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
4077
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
4078
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
4079
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
4080
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
4082
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
4083
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
4086
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
4087
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
4088
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
4090
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
4091
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
4092
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
4094
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
4095
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
4097
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
4098
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
4099
to complete. (Robert Collins)
4101
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
4102
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
4104
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
4105
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
4106
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
4108
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
4109
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
4110
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
4112
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
4113
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
4114
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
4115
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
4117
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
4118
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
4119
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
4120
returned. (Robert Collins)
4122
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
4123
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
4125
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
4126
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
4127
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
4128
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
4131
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
4132
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
4136
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
4137
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
4139
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
4140
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
4141
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
4142
makes this behavior available to other users.
4145
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
4146
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
4154
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
4155
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
4156
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
4158
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
4160
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
4161
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
4162
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
4163
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
4165
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
4166
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
4170
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
4171
----------------------
4173
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
4174
in bzrlib/remote.py.
4177
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
4178
----------------------
4182
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
4183
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
4184
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
4185
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
4188
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
4189
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
4190
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
4195
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
4196
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
4197
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
4200
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
4201
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
4202
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
4204
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
4205
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
4206
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
4208
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
4209
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
4211
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
4212
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
4213
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
4214
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
4215
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
4216
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
4217
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
4218
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
4219
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
4220
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
4222
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
4223
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
4225
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
4226
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
4227
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
4231
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
4232
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
4234
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
4235
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
4236
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
4238
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
4239
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
4241
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
4242
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
4244
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
4247
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
4248
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
4250
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
4251
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
4253
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
4254
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4256
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
4257
(Blake Winton, #129299)
4259
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
4261
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
4264
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
4265
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
4266
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
4267
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
4269
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4271
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
4272
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
4275
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
4276
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
4278
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
4279
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
4282
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
4283
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
4285
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
4286
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
4288
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
4289
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
4290
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
4291
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
4292
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
4293
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
4294
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
4296
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
4297
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
4299
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
4300
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
4302
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
4303
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
4305
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
4306
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
4308
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
4310
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
4312
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
4313
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
4315
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
4316
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
4317
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
4319
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
4320
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
4321
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
4325
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
4326
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4328
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
4331
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
4334
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
4335
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
4337
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
4339
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
4340
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
4342
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
4343
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
4345
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
4346
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
4347
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
4348
space). (Robert Collins)
4350
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
4351
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
4354
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
4355
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4357
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
4358
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
4360
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
4361
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
4362
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
4363
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
4365
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
4366
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
4367
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
4370
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
4373
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
4374
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
4375
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
4377
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
4378
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
4379
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
4380
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
4381
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
4385
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
4386
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
4388
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
4389
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
4390
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
4391
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
4392
affected. (Robert Collins)
4394
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
4395
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
4396
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
4399
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
4400
previous release. (Martin Pool)
4404
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
4405
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
4407
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
4408
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4410
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
4411
previous release. (Martin Pool)
4413
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
4416
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
4417
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4421
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
4422
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
4423
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
4424
its version information. (Robert Collins)
4426
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
4427
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4429
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
4430
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
4431
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
4432
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4434
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
4435
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
4436
present. (Robert Collins)
4438
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
4439
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
4440
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
4441
API. (Robert Collins)
4443
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
4444
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
4447
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
4448
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
4450
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
4451
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
4452
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
4453
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
4454
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
4455
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
4457
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
4458
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
4459
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
4461
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
4462
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
4463
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
4464
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
4467
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
4470
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
4471
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
4472
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
4473
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
4474
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
4475
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
4476
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
4478
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
4479
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
4480
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
4481
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
4483
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
4484
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
4485
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
4486
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
4487
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
4488
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
4490
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
4491
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
4492
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
4494
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
4495
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
4503
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
4504
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
4505
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
4506
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
4507
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
4508
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
4509
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
4510
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
4515
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
4516
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
4517
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
4520
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
4521
----------------------
4525
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
4526
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
4527
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
4528
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
4529
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
4531
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
4532
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
4534
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
4536
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
4538
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
4539
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
4542
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
4543
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
4546
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
4549
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
4550
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
4552
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
4553
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
4555
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
4556
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
4558
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
4559
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
4561
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
4562
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
4564
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
4569
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
4570
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
4572
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
4573
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
4575
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
4576
the repository (Robert Collins)
4578
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
4579
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
4580
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
4581
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
4582
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
4584
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
4585
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
4587
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
4588
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
4589
(John Arbash Meinel)
4591
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
4592
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
4593
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
4595
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
4596
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
4597
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
4598
(John Arbash Meinel)
4600
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
4601
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
4604
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
4605
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
4607
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
4610
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
4612
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
4614
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
4615
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
4617
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
4618
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
4621
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
4622
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
4623
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
4624
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
4626
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
4627
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
4628
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
4630
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
4631
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
4632
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
4634
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
4635
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
4637
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
4638
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
4639
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
4640
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
4641
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
4642
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
4645
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
4646
(Alexander Belchenko)
4648
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
4649
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
4651
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
4652
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
4654
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
4656
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
4657
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
4661
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
4662
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
4663
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
4664
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
4666
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
4668
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
4671
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
4672
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
4673
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
4674
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
4675
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
4676
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
4680
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
4681
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
4682
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
4683
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
4685
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
4686
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
4687
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
4688
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
4689
tests have been refactored too.
4692
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
4693
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
4694
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
4698
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
4699
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
4700
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
4702
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
4703
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
4704
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
4705
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
4706
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
4707
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
4708
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
4710
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
4711
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
4712
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
4713
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
4714
(John Arbash Meinel)
4716
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
4717
functionality for testing.
4719
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
4721
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
4722
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4724
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
4726
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
4729
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
4730
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
4732
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
4733
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
4734
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
4736
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
4739
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
4740
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
4742
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
4743
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
4744
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
4745
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
4747
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
4748
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
4750
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
4751
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
4752
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
4754
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
4757
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
4758
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
4759
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
4760
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
4761
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
4762
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
4764
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
4765
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
4766
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
4767
many files. (Robert Collins)
4769
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
4770
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
4771
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
4772
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
4776
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
4777
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
4778
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
4780
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
4781
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
4783
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
4784
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
4785
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
4789
--------------------
4793
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
4796
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
4797
-----------------------
4801
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
4802
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
4804
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
4805
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
4806
(James Westby, #122656)
4808
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
4809
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
4811
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
4812
authentication header.
4813
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
4815
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
4817
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
4818
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
4820
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
4822
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
4823
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
4825
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
4826
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
4827
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
4829
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
4830
individually and as part of revision ranges.
4831
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
4833
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
4834
(Martin Pool, #109169)
4836
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
4837
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
4839
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
4840
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
4842
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
4844
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
4848
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
4849
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
4850
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
4851
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
4852
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
4853
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
4855
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
4856
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
4857
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
4859
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
4862
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
4863
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
4865
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
4866
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
4868
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
4869
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
4871
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
4872
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
4873
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
4874
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
4875
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
4877
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
4878
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
4880
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
4881
can be slow it is useful feedback).
4882
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
4884
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
4885
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
4887
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
4889
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
4890
output. (Aaron Bentley)
4892
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
4893
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
4896
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
4899
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
4900
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
4902
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
4903
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
4905
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
4906
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
4908
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
4910
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
4911
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
4913
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
4918
* Testing cleanups -
4919
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
4920
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
4921
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
4922
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
4923
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4924
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
4925
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4926
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
4927
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4928
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
4929
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
4930
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
4931
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4932
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
4933
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
4934
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
4935
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
4938
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
4940
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
4941
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
4942
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
4944
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
4945
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
4947
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
4948
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4950
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
4952
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
4953
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
4954
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
4955
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
4956
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
4957
same location. (Robert Collins)
4961
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
4963
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
4965
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
4967
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
4970
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
4973
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
4974
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
4975
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
4977
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
4979
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
4980
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
4981
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
4983
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
4984
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
4986
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
4987
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
4988
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
4990
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
4991
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
4992
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
4994
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
4995
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
4996
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
4998
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
4999
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
5002
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
5003
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
5005
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
5006
(Alexander Belchenko)
5010
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
5011
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
5012
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
5013
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
5015
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
5016
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
5017
testing. (Robert Collins)
5019
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
5020
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
5022
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
5023
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
5024
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
5025
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
5026
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
5027
attribute during the test parameterisation in
5028
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
5030
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
5031
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
5032
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
5033
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
5035
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
5036
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
5038
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
5039
avoid useless cloning.
5040
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)

--------------------
5048
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
5049
(Colin Watson, #120647)
5051
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.

-----------------------
5058
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5060
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
5061
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
5062
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
5063
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
5064
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
5065
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
5066
and unlock() like so::
5068
work_tree.lock_read()
5070
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
5075
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
5076
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
5078
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
5079
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
5080
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
5082
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
5083
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
5084
too. (Robert Collins)
5088
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
5089
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
5092
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
5093
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
5095
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
5096
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
5098
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
5099
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
5100
understanding what changes have occurred
5101
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
5103
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
5104
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
5105
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
5107
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
5108
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
5109
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
5110
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
5112
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
5117
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
5118
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
5119
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
5120
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
5121
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
5123
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
5124
based on split paths, not just string paths.
5125
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
5127
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
5128
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
5130
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
5132
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
5134
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
5135
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
5137
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
5138
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
5140
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
5141
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
5143
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
5144
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
5146
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
5147
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
5149
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
5150
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
5151
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
5154
--------------------
5158
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
5159
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
5160
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
5161
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
5162
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
5164
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
5165
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
5166
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
5168
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
5169
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
5173
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
5174
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
5175
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
5177
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
5178
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
5179
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
5180
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
5182
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
5183
-----------------------
5187
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
5188
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
5189
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
5190
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
5192
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
5193
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
5194
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
5196
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
5197
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
5199
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
5200
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
5202
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
5203
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
5205
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
5206
-----------------------
5208
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5210
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
5211
it could be recovered again.
5212
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
5213
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
5214
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
5216
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
5218
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
5219
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
5223
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
5224
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
5226
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
5227
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
5228
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
5229
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
5231
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
5232
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
5234
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
5235
tests with names that match that regular expression.
5236
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
5238
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
5239
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
5240
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
5242
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
5243
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
5244
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
5246
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
5247
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
5250
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
5253
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
5254
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
5255
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
5256
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
5258
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
5261
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
5262
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
5263
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
5266
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
5267
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
5269
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
5270
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
5272
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
5273
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
5274
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
5275
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
5278
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
5279
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
5281
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
5282
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
5284
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
5285
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
5286
(Robert Collins, #107125).
5288
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
5289
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
5290
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
5292
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
5293
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
5294
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5296
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
5297
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
5298
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
5299
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
5301
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
5302
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
5303
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
5304
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
5306
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
5307
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
5308
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
5309
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
5310
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
5311
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
5312
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
5313
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
5319
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
5320
code paths. (Robert Collins)
5322
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
5323
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
5324
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
5325
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
5326
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5328
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
5329
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
5331
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
5332
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
5334
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
5335
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
5337
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
5338
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
5340
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
5341
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
5342
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
5345
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
5346
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
5347
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
5348
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
5349
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
5352
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
5353
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
5354
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
5356
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
5357
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
5360
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
5361
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
5362
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
5365
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
5366
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
5367
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
5368
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
5369
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
5371
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
5372
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
5373
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
5374
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5376
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
5377
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
5379
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
5380
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
5381
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
5382
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
5383
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
5384
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
5386
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
5387
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
5389
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
5390
help. (Robert Collins)
5392
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
5393
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
5395
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
5396
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
5397
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
5398
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
5399
(John Arbash Meinel)
5401
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
5402
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
5403
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
5404
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
5405
useful. (Robert Collins)
5407
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
5412
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
5413
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
5415
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
5416
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
5418
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
5419
properly and is no longer beneficial.
5420
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
5422
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
5425
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
5426
the file, and does it faster.
5427
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
5429
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
5430
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
5431
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
5433
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
5434
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
5435
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
5436
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
5438
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
5439
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
5440
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
5441
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
5443
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
5444
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
5446
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
5447
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
5448
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
5449
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
5452
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
5454
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
5455
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
5457
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
5458
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
5460
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
5461
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
5462
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
5463
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
5467
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
5468
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
5472
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
5473
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
5474
in running it. (Robert Collins)
5476
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
5477
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
5479
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
5480
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
5481
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
5482
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
5483
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
5484
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
5485
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
5486
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5488
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
5489
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
5490
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5492
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
5493
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
5494
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
5495
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
5496
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
5498
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5500
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
5501
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
5502
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
5504
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
5505
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
5513
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
5516
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
5517
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
5520
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
5521
-----------------------
5525
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
5526
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
5531
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
5532
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
5533
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
5534
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
5535
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
5536
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
5537
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
5538
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
5543
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
5544
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
5545
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
5547
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
5548
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
5551
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
5552
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
5553
(John Arbash Meinel)
5555
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
5556
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
5557
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
5558
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
5559
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
5563
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
5566
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
5567
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
5569
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
5570
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
5572
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
5573
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
5574
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
5576
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
5577
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
5579
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
5580
last-changed-revision for directories. The
5581
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
5582
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
5583
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
5585
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
5586
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
5587
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
5589
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
5592
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
5593
-----------------------
5595
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5597
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
5598
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
5599
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
5603
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
5604
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
5606
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
5607
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
5609
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
5611
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
5612
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
5614
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
5615
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
5619
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
5624
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
5625
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
5626
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
5627
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
5629
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
5630
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
5632
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
5633
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
5635
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
5638
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
5639
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
5642
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
5643
-----------------------
5647
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
5648
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
5649
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
5650
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
5651
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
5652
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
5654
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
5655
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
5656
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
5657
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
5658
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
5659
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
5661
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
5663
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
5664
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
5665
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
5666
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
5667
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
5668
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
5669
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
5670
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
5674
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
5675
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
5677
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
5678
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
5679
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
5680
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
5682
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
5683
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
5684
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
5685
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
5686
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
5688
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
5691
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
5694
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
5697
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
5698
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
5701
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
5704
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
5705
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
5707
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
5708
directory. (Martin Pool)
5710
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
5711
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
5712
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
5713
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
5715
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
5716
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
5717
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
5718
in docs/configuration.txt.
5720
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
5721
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
5724
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
5725
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
5726
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
5727
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
5728
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
5729
repositories. (Martin Pool)
5731
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
5732
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
5734
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
5735
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
5737
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
5742
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
5743
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
5744
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
5745
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
5746
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
5747
(John Arbash Meinel)
5749
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
5750
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
5753
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
5754
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
5755
(John Arbash Meinel)
5757
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
5758
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
5759
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
5760
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
5761
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
5762
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
5764
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
5765
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
5766
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
5768
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
5769
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
5770
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
5771
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
5773
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5775
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
5776
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
5777
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
5778
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
5780
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
5781
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
5782
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
5783
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
5785
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
5786
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
5787
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
5789
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
5790
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
5791
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
5793
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
5794
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
5795
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
5796
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
5798
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
5799
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
5800
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
5802
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
5803
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
5804
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
5806
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
5807
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
5808
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
5809
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
5810
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
5811
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
5812
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
5813
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
5814
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
5815
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
5816
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
5820
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
5821
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
5822
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
5824
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
5827
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
5828
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
5829
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
5830
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
5832
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
5833
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
5836
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
5837
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
5839
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
5841
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
5842
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
5843
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
5845
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
5846
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
5848
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
5849
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
5851
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
5852
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
5854
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
5855
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
5857
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
5859
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
5860
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
5864
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
5865
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
5869
--------------------
5873
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
5877
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
5878
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
5879
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
5881
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
5882
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
5883
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
5886
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
5887
-----------------------
5891
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
5892
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
5893
server, then you can write over the http connection.
5894
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5896
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
5899
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
5900
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
5901
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
5903
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
5904
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
5906
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
5909
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
5910
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
5911
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
5912
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
5913
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
5914
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
5916
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
5917
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
5918
should enable you to do::
5920
[/home/user/project]
5921
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
5922
push_location:policy = appendpath
5924
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
5925
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
5928
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
5929
for each file. For example::
5931
$ bzr status --short
5937
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
5938
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
5940
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
5942
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
5943
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
5945
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
5949
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
5950
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
5951
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
5952
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
5954
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
5955
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
5956
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
5958
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5960
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
5961
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
5962
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
5963
(Alexander Belchenko)
5965
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
5968
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
5969
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
5971
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
5975
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
5976
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
5978
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
5979
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
5980
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
5981
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
5982
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
5984
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
5985
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
5987
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
5988
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
5990
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
5992
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
5994
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
5995
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
5996
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
5997
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
5998
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
6000
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
6001
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
6002
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
6003
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
6005
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
6006
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
6008
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
6009
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
6011
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
6012
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
6014
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
6015

No changes from 0.13rc1
6023
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
6024
-----------------------
6028
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
6030
(Daniel Silverstone)
6032
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
6033
operations are substantially faster.
6034
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
6036
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
6037
tree from some other url. For example:
6038
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
6039
(Daniel Silverstone)
6041
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
6042
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
6043
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
6044
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
6046
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
6049
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
6050
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
6051
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
6052
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
6053
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
6054
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
6058
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
6059
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
6062
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
6063
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
6064
(John Arbash Meinel)
6066
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
6067
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
6068
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
6069
(John Arbash Meinel)
6071
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
6072
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
6074
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
6075
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
6077
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
6078
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
6083
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
6084
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
6085
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
6087
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
6088
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
6089
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
6090
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
6092
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
6094
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
6095
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
6097
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
6098
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
6099
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
6100
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
6102
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
6103
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
6104
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
6106
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
6107
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
6108
them as full references rather than integers.
6109
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
6111
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
6112
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
6114
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
6116
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
6117
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
6119
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
6120
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
6122
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
6123
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
6124
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
6125
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
6127
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
6128
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
6129
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
6131
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
6132
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
6134
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
6135
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
6136
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
6137
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
6138
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
6142
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
6143
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
6146
--------------------
6150
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
6151
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
6152
(John Arbash Meinel)
6154
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
6155
-----------------------
6159
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
6160
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
6161
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
6162
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
6164
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
6165
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
6167
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
6169
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
6170
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
6171
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
6172
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
6174
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
6175
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
6176
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
6177
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
6178
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
6180
API INCOMPATABILITY:
6182
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
6183
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
6187
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
6188
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
6189
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
6191
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
6192
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
6193
(John Arbash Meinel)
6195
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
6196
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
6197
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
6199
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
6200
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
6203
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
6204
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
6205
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6207
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
6208
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
6209
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
6210
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
6211
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
6212
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6214
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
6215
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
6216
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
6219
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
6220
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
6224
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
6225
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
6226
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
6229
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
6230
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
6232
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
6233
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
6234
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
6236
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
6237
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
6239
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
6240
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
6241
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
6242
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
6244
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
6245
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
6247
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
6248
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
6249
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
6251
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
6252
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
6254
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
6256
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
6257
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
6262
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
6263
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
6264
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
6265
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
6267
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
6268
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
6269
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6272
--------------------
6274
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
6276
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
6277
-----------------------
6281
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
6283
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
6286
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
6287
-----------------------
6291
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
6292
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
6293
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
6294
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
6295
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
6296
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
6297
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
6299
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
6300
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
6301
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
6303
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
6305
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
6306
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
6308
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
6309
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
6310
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
6313
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
6314
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
6315
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
6316
(John Arbash Meinel)
6318
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
6319
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
6320
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
6321
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
6324
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
6325
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
6326
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
6327
(John Arbash Meinel)
6331
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
6332
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
6334
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
6336
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
6337
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
6338
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
6340
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
6341
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
6343
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
6344
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
6346
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
6347
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
6349
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
6350
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
6352
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
6354
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
6355
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
6357
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
6358
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
6360
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
6361
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
6363
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
6364
(John Arbash Meinel)
6366
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
6367
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
6368
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
6370
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
6371
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
6373
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
6374
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
6375
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
6376
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
6378
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
6379
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
6380
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
6382
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
6383
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
6387
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
6391
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
6392
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
6393
(John Arbash Meinel)
6395
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
6396
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
6397
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
6398
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
6400
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
6403
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
6404
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
6405
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
6407
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
6408
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
6410
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
6411
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
6412
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
6414
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
6415
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
6416
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
6417
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
6418
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
6419
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
6420
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
6421
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
6422
caller to repeat their request.
6423
(John Arbash Meinel)
6425
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
6426
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
6428
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
6429
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
6431
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
6432
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
6433
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
6434
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
6435
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
6436
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
6437
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
6439
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
6440
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
6441
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
6442
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
6443
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
6444
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
6445
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
6446
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
6449
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
6450
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
6451
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
6453
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
6454
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
6456
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
6457
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
6459
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
6460
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
6464
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
6465
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
6467
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
6468
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
6469
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
6471
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
6472
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
6473
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
6476
--------------------
6479
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
6480
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
6482
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
6483
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
6484
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
6485
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
6486
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
6488
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
6489
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
6490
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
6492
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
6493
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
6495
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
6496
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
6497
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6501
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
6503
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
6504
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
6505
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
6507
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
6509
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
6511
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
6512
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
6513
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
6514
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
6516
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
6517
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
6518
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
6519
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
6520
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
6522
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
6523
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
6525
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
6526
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
6528
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
6529
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
6531
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
6532
in handling of revision properties.
6533
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
6535
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
6536
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
6540
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
6541
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
6542
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
6543
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
6544
(John Arbash Meinel)
6546
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
6547
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
6548
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
6550
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
6551
---------------------
6555
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
6556
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
6557
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
6558
specific one '.bzrignore'.
6559
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
6560
a more conservative list than the old default.
6561
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
6562
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
6563
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
6564
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
6566
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
6567
to more locations than just branch locations.
6572
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
6573
revno:N:branch. For example,
6574
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
6575
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
6577
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
6578
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
6579
the path of a file that has been versioned.
6580
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
6581
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
6582
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
6583
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
6584
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
6587
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
6588
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
6589
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
6592
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
6593
(Alexander Belchenko)
6595
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
6597
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
6600
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
6601
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
6602
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
6603
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
6604
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
6605
(John Arbash Meinel)
6607
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
6608
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
6609
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
6610
grained analysis of performance.
6611
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
6613
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
6614
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
6616
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
6617
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
6618
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
6619
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
6620
file. (Robert Collins).
6622
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
6623
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
6624
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
6626
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
6627
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
6630
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
6631
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
6633
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
6634
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
6635
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
6636
the same way you would apply another branch.
6637
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
6639
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
6640
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
6642
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
6645
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
6648
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
6649
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
6650
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
6652
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
6653
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
6654
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
6656
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
6657
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
6659
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
6660
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
6661
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
6662
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
6663
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
6665
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
6666
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
6668
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
6669
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
6670
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
6671
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
6672
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
6673
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
6674
branch is as much as 4x faster.
6675
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
6677
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
6678
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
6679
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
6683
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
6685
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
6687
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
6688
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6690
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
6691
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
6693
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
6694
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
6696
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
6698
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
6699
(John Arbash Meinel)
6701
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
6702
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
6704
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
6705
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
6708
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
6709
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
6711
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
6712
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
6714
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
6715
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
6716
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
6717
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
6719
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
6720
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
6722
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
6724
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
6725
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
6727
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
6729
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
6731
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
6732
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
6734
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
6735
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
6737
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
6738
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
6739
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
6741
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
6742
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
6743
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
6745
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
6746
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
6748
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
6749
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
6751
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
6752
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
6754
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
6755
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
6757
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
6758
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
6760
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
6761
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
6762
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
6764
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
6766
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
6767
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
6771
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
6772
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
6773
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
6775
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
6776
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
6778
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
6779
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
6780
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
6782
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
6783
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
6785
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
6786
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
6789
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
6790
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
6791
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6793
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
6794
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
6795
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6797
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
6798
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
6799
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
6801
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
6802
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
6803
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
6805
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
6806
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
6807
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
6809
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
6810
instead. (Robert Collins)
6812
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
6814
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
6815
---------------------
6819
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
6821
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
6822
---------------------
6826
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
6827
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
6829
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
6830
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6832
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
6833
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
6834
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
6838
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
6840
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
6841
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
6843
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
6847
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
6848
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
6849
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
6850
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
6854
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
6855
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
6856
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
6860
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
6861
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
6862
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6866
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
6867
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
6872
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
6874
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
6875
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
6876
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
6877
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
6878
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
6879
will keep the same format.
6881
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
6882
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
6883
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
6884
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
6885
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
6887
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
6888
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
6889
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
6890
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
6891
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
6892
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
6893
indicating the current revision of the branch.
6895
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
6896
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
6897
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
6898
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
6899
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
6901
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
6902
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
6903
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
6909
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
6910
convention. Paths now take the form::
6912
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
6914
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
6916
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
6917
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
6919
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
6920
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
6921
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
6923
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
6924
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
6925
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
6926
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
6928
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
6929
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
6930
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
6932
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
6934
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
6936
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
6937
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
6940
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
6941
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
6944
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
6946
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
6947
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
6948
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
6951
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
6953
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
6955
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
6958
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
6959
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
6961
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
6962
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
6965
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
6966
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
6969
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
6971
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
6973
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
6974
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
6976
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
6977
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
6978
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
6979
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
6980
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
6981
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
6983
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
6985
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
6986
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
6989
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
6990
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
6992
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
6993
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
6995
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
6997
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
6998
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
6999
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
7000
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
7001
specification by Martin Pool.
7002
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
7004
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
7007
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
7008
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
7010
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
7011
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
7012
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
7014
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
7016
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
7017
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
7022
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
7023
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
7025
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
7027
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
7029
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
7032
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
7033
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
7034
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
7035
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
7039
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
7040
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
7041
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
7042
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
7044
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
7045
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
7046
tried. (Martin Pool)
7048
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
7051
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
7053
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
7054
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
7055
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
7057
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
7058
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
7060
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
7061
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
7062
paths. (Robert Collins)
7064
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
7065
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
7066
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
7068
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
7069
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
7070
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
7072
* Progress bars are now nested - see
7073
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
7074
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
7076
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
7079
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
7082
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
7084
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
7086
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
7087
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
7088
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
7091
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
7092
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
7094
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
7095
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
7096
check. (Robert Collins)
7098
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
7099
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
7103
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
7104
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
7106
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
7107
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
7108
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
7109
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
7111
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
7112
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
7113
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
7114
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
7115
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
7117
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
7118
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
7119
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
7121
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
7123
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
7124
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
7131
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
7132
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
7134
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
7135
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
7136
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
7139
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
7140
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
7142
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
7143
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
7144
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
7145
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
7146
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
7148
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
7149
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
7150
used. (Robert Collins)
7152
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
7153
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
7156
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
7157
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
7158
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
7160
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
7163
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
7164
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
7168
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
7169
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
7171
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
7173
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
7175
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
7176
tree. (Robert Collins)
7178
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
7179
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
7180
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
7183
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
7186
* Tweaks to short log printing
7188
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
7191
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
7192
occurs. (Martin Pool)
7194
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
7195
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
7197
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
7198
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
7200
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
7201
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
7202
settings. (Magnus Therning)
7204
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
7205
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
7207
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
7208
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
7211
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
7212
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
7214
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
7215
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
7217
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
7218
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
7220
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
7223
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
7224
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
7226
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
7227
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
7229
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
7230
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
7231
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
7235
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
7237
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
7239
* Error when run with -OO
7241
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
7244
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
7246
* Change status to 3 for all errors
7248
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
7249
ignored by diff and status
7251
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
7252
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
7254
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
7256
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
7258
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
7259
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
7261
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
7262
email address. (Marien Zwart)
7264
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
7267
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
7268
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
7270
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
7272
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
7273
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
7275
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
7278
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
7279
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
7281
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
7285
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
7286
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
7288
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
7290
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
7292
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
7294
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
7295
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
7296
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
7298
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
7300
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
7301
(John Arbash Meinel)
7303
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
7305
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
7306
If adding a new test script please add that to
7307
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
7309
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
7310
imported. (Martin Pool)
7312
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
7313
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
7314
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
7315
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
7316
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
7319
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
7320
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
7321
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
7323
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
7324
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
7325
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
7327
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
7328
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
7329
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
7330
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
7331
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
7334
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
7335
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
7340
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
7341
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
7343
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
7344
function. (Robert Collins)
7346
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
7347
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
7348
if needed). (Robert Collins)
7350
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
7351
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
7354
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
7355
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
7356
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
7357
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
7358
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
7359
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
7360
version. (Robert Collins)
7362
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
7363
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
7365
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
7366
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
7367
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
7368
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
7369
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
7370
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
7372
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
7375
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
7385
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
7387
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
7389
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
7392
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
7393
query method. (Robert Collins)
7395
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
7398
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
7401
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
7404
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
7405
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
7406
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
7407
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
7409
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
7410
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
7411
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
7412
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
7414
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
7415
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
7422
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
7425
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
7429
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
7430
a separator, not ':'.
7433
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
7434
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
7435
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
7437
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
7438
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
7441
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
7442
has been added that suppresses all output.
7444
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
7447
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
7448
Goffredo Baroncelli.
7450
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
7451
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
7453
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
7454
a revision. (Robert Collins)
7456
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
7457
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
7458
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
7459
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
7461
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
7463
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
7464
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
7466
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
7467
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
7469
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
7470
output directory, if one was supplied.
7472
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
7473
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
7474
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
7475
parameters. (Robert Collins)
7477
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
7479
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
7480
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
7482
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
7483
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
7484
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
7486
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
7487
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
7489
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
7492
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
7494
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
7498
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
7499
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
7500
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
7502
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
7503
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
7504
related questions. (Robert Collins)
7506
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
7507
is given. (Martin Pool)
7509
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
7510
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
7511
file. (Robert Collins)
7513
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
7518
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
7519
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
7520
representation. (Martin Pool).
7522
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
7523
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
7524
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
7526
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
7529
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
7530
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
7533
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
7534
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
7535
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
7536
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
7537
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
7539
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
7540
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
7541
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
7542
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
7543
python path. (Robert Collins)
7545
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
7546
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
7547
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
7548
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
7550
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
7551
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
7553
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
7554
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
7557
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
7558
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
7559
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
7561
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
7562
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
7563
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
7565
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
7566
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
7568
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
7569
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
7570
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
7573
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
7574
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
7575
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
7576
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
7579
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
7582
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
7583
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
7586
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
7587
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
7588
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
7590
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
7591
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
7592
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
7594
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
7595
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
7596
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
7598
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
7599
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
7601
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
7602
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
7603
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
7604
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
7605
caller. (Robert Collins)
7607
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
7608
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
7611
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
7612
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
7615
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
7617
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
7618
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
7622
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
7623
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
7625
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
7626
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
7629
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
7630
--------------------
7634
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
7635
allow directories to be listed.
7637
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
7638
upgrading branch format.
7642
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
7650
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
7651
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
7652
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
7653
high-latency connections.
7657
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
7660
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
7661
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
7663
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
7664
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
7665
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
7666
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
7668
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
7669
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
7671
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
7672
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
7674
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
7675
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
7676
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
7678
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
7679
for files with only a change to their executable status.
7680
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
7683
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
7684
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
7686
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
7687
different partial views of history.
7689
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
7690
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
7694
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
7695
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
7696
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
7698
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
7699
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
7702
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
7703
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
7705
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
7708
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
7709
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
7711
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
7712
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
7713
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
7714
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
7716
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
7718
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
7719
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
7722
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
7723
Contributed by Robert Collins.
7725
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
7726
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
7727
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
7732
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
7733
for your viewing pleasure.
7735
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
7736
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
7738
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
7739
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
7740
handling of such circumstances.
7742
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
7743
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
7744
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
7746
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
7748
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
7749
we call them revisions not patches.
7751
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
7752
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
7754
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
7755
giving the revision *of that file*.
7757
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
7758
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
7759
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
7763
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
7764
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
7766
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
7767
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
7770
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
7771
--------------------
7775
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
7777
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
7780
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
7782
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
7784
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
7785
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
7789
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
7790
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
7792
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
7793
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
7794
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
7795
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
7798
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
7799
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
7803
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
7805
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
7806
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
7809
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
7810
--------------------
7814
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
7815
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
7816
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
7817
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
7820
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
7823
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
7824
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
7825
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
7826
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
7827
for the operating system is still tried.
7829
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
7830
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
7831
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
7836
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
7840
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
7842
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
7845
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
7851
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
7853
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
7856
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
7857
--------------------
7861
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
7862
help with intelligent shell completion.
7864
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
7869
* Much better merge support.
7871
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
7872
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
7878
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
7879
mention revisions that are not present.
7881
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
7883
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
7885
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
7886
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
7891
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
7893
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
7894
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
7900
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
7901
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
7906
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
7907
--------------------
7911
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
7912
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
7914
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
7916
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
7917
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
7919
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
7922
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
7924
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
7927
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
7928
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
7930
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
7931
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
7932
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
7937
* Faster working tree operations.
7942
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
7943
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
7944
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
7945
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)

* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
7948
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
7949
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
7950
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
7951
standard plugins directory.
7953
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
7954
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
7955
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
7956
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
7958
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
7959
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
7961
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
7964
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
7965
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
7966
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
7968
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
7969
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
7971
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
7972
line options must come before the command name because they
7973
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
7974
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
7977
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
7979
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
7980
is available with ``--short``.
7985
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
7988
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
7989
---------------------
7993
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
7994
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
7996
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
7997
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
7998
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
7999
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
8001
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
8002
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
8003
with the ``--forward`` option.
8005
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
8006
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
8012
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
8013
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
8015
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
8017
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
8018
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
8020
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
8022
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
8023
either read or write mode.
8025
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
8027
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
8030
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
8032
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
8033
suggested by LarstiQ.
8035
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
8036
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
8038
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
8041
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
8042
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
8044
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
8045
haven't changed since the previous time.
8047
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
8048
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
8050
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
8052
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
8054
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
8055
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
8057
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
8058
options through to an external GNU diff.
8060
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
8063
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
8069
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
8070
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
8072
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
8078
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
8079
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
8082
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
8083
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
8085
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
8086
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
8088
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
8089
under a different version.
8091
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
8096
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
8098
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
8099
Scott James Remnant.
8101
* Better help messages for many commands.
8103
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
8104
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
8106
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
8107
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
8109
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
8111
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
8113
* New AtomicFile class.
8115
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
8120
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
8121
2.4 is now only recommended.
8124
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
8125
---------------------
8129
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
8130
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
8132
* More default ignore patterns.
8134
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
8135
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
8137
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
8139
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
8142
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
8147
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
8148
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
8149
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
8150
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
8151
there are DNS problems.
8153
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
8158
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
8160
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
8162
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
8163
trailing newlines properly.
8168
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
8171
* More tests in test.sh.
8173
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
8174
directory and delete it when done.
8176
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
8181
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
8184
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
8188
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
8189
---------------------
8193
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
8196
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
8198
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
8201
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
8204
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
8206
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
8210
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
8211
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
8216
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
8217
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
8222
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
8226
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
8234
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
8237
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
8238
-----------------------------------
8242
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
8244
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
8245
rather than replacing it.
8247
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
8251
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
8254
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
8255
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
8257
* Performance improvements.
8259
* New global --profile option.
8261
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
8262
the root directory only.
8265
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
8266
---------------------
8270
* More information from info command.
8272
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
8274
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
8275
committing to stores.
8277
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
8281
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
8285
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
8286
installation easier.
8288
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
