.. contents:: List of Releases
15
* bzr no longer autodetects nested trees as 'tree-references'. They
16
must now be explicitly added tree references. At the commandline, use
17
join --reference instead of add. (Aaron Bentley)
22
* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the
23
shelf, via the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
25
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
28
* ``bzr xxx --usage`` where xxx is a command now shows a usage
29
message and the options without the descriptive help sections
30
(like Description and Examples). A message is also given
31
explaining how to see the complete help, i.e. ``bzr help xxx``.
34
* Content filters can now be used to provide custom conversion
35
between the canonical format of content (i.e. as stored) and
36
the convenience format of content (i.e. as created in working
37
trees). See ``bzr help content-filters`` for further details.
38
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
43
* A new format name alias ``default-rich-root`` has been added and
44
points at the closest relative of the default format that supports
45
rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
47
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
48
the data when the target repository does not need topological
49
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
50
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
51
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
53
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
54
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
57
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
58
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
59
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
61
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
64
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
65
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
67
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
68
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
69
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
71
* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!
77
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
78
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
79
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
80
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
82
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
83
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
84
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
86
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
87
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
89
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
90
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
91
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
92
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
94
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
96
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
97
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
98
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
99
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
100
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
102
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
103
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
106
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
107
(James Westby, #341558)
112
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
114
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.
115
(James Westby, #336998)
120
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
121
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
122
Meinel, Robert Collins)
124
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
125
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
128
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
134
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
135
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
136
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
137
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
138
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
140
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
141
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
142
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
143
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
149
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
150
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
151
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
153
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
154
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
156
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
157
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
158
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
160
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
161
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
162
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
164
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
165
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
168
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
169
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
170
dependency. (Robert Collins)
172
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
173
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
174
regardless of ``InterRepository``.
175
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
181
:Codename: paraskavedekatriaphobia
185
This release includes bug fixes and a few performance and feature improvements.
186
GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
187
Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``. Lightweight checkouts
188
and stacked branches should both be much faster over remote connections.
190
Changes From RC1 to Final
191
*************************
193
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
194
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
195
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
197
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
198
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
203
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
204
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
205
command may need to be adjusted.
206
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
211
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
212
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
213
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
215
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
218
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
219
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
220
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
223
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
224
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
226
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
229
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
230
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
232
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernoij)
234
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
235
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
238
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
244
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
245
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
246
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
247
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
248
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
249
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
250
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
251
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
254
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
255
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
257
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
258
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
259
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
261
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
262
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
264
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
265
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
266
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
269
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
270
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
271
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
273
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
274
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
275
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
276
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
278
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
281
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
282
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
284
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
285
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
287
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
288
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
289
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
291
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
296
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
297
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
298
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
300
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
301
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
302
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
304
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
305
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
307
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
308
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
311
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
312
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
313
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
315
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
316
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
318
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
319
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
321
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
322
(James Westby, #174539)
324
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
325
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
327
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
328
error branching from old repositories.
329
(Martin Pool, #321695)
331
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
332
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
334
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
335
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
336
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
337
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
339
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
340
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko)
342
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
343
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
345
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
346
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
348
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
349
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
353
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
354
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
356
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.
357
(Benoît Pierre, Aaron Bentley)
362
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
363
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
364
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
367
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
368
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
370
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.
371
(Daniel Watkins, #327421, #327425)
376
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
377
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
378
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
379
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
380
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
382
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
383
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
385
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
386
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
387
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
388
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
389
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
390
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
392
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
393
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
395
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
396
"author" argument being deprecated.
398
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
400
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
401
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
402
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
403
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
405
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
406
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
407
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
409
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
410
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
411
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
413
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
414
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
416
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
417
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
418
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
419
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
424
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
425
free of virtual file system methods.
426
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
428
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
429
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
430
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
432
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
433
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
434
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
435
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
436
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
437
(Robert Collins, #334187)
439
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
441
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
442
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
444
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
445
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
446
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
447
stream the operation.
448
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
450
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
451
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
453
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
454
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
455
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
456
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
457
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
459
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
460
branch object. (Robert Collins)
462
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
463
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
464
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
466
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
467
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
470
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
473
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
474
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
475
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
477
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
478
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
479
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
481
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
482
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
483
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
485
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
486
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
487
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
489
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
490
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
491
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
492
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
493
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
495
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
496
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
497
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
498
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
499
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
500
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
502
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
503
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
504
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
505
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
506
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
508
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
509
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
511
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
512
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
514
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
515
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
516
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
517
to access private data in record to obtain content more
518
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
520
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
521
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.
528
:Codename: 1234567890
532
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
533
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
534
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
535
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
536
by showing the rate of network IO.
538
Changes from RC1 to Final
539
*************************
541
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
542
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
544
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
545
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
550
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
551
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
552
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
553
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
555
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
556
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
557
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
560
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
561
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
562
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
563
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
565
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
566
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
567
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
570
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
575
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
576
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
577
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
580
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
581
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
582
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
584
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
585
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
586
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
587
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
588
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
589
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
590
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
591
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
592
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
598
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
601
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
604
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
605
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
606
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
608
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
609
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
610
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
611
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
612
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
614
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
615
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
617
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
618
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
619
level for better precision.
622
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
623
rules. (Marius Kruger)
625
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
626
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
627
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
629
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
630
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
631
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
634
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
635
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
636
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
641
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
643
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
645
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
646
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
647
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
649
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
650
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
651
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
652
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
653
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
654
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
656
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
657
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
659
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
660
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
662
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
663
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
664
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
666
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
667
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
668
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
671
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
672
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
674
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
675
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
676
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
677
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
679
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
680
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
682
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
684
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)
689
* Improved plugin developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
694
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
695
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
698
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
699
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
701
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
702
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
704
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
705
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
707
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
708
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
709
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
710
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
712
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
713
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
714
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
719
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
720
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
721
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
722
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
723
compile buffers, are such an example).
726
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
727
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
730
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
731
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
732
efficient way of doing the mapping.
735
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
736
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
738
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
739
formatters to retrict the output.

##############################
746
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
747
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
748
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
749
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
750
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
752
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
753
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
756
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
757
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.
762
* Fix failing test when CompiledChunksToLines is not available.
765
* Stacked branches don't repeatedly open their transport connection.
770
bzr 1.11rc1 "Eyes up!" 2009-01-09
771
#################################
776
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
777
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
782
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
783
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
785
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
786
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
787
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
788
implement other plugins.
791
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
797
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
798
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
800
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
801
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
803
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
804
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
805
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
806
processes which drag in shell extensions.
809
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
810
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
811
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
812
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
813
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
815
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
816
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
817
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
818
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
819
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
824
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
825
control directory. (#139691)
827
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
828
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
830
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
831
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
833
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
834
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
835
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
837
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
838
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
840
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
841
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
842
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
844
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
845
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
847
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
850
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
851
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
852
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
854
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
855
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
857
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
858
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
859
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
861
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
862
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
863
in the appropriate sections.
864
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
866
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
867
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
870
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
871
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
873
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
874
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
876
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
877
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
879
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
880
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
881
work better with how it splits its requests.
882
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
884
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
885
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
886
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
888
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
891
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
893
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
894
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
896
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
902
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
903
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
904
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
910
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
911
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
912
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
913
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
915
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
916
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
918
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
919
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
920
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
921
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
923
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
924
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
925
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
926
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
931
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
932
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
933
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
935
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
936
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
937
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
938
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
940
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
941
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
942
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
948
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
949
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
952
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
953
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
954
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
957
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
958
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
959
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
960
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
962
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
963
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
964
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
966
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
967
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
968
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
969
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
971
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
972
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
973
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
974
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
977
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
978
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
980
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
981
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
982
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
984
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
985
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
986
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
987
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
989
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
990
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
991
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
994
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
995
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
996
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
997
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
998
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
999
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
1000
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1002
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
1003
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)
1010
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
1011
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
1012
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
1013
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
1016
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
1021
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
1022
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
1023
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
1024
(Martin Pool, #303856)
1026
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
1027
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
1028
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
1029
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
1030
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)
1033
bzr 1.10rc1 2008-11-28
1034
######################
1036
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
1037
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
1038
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
1039
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
1040
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
1045
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
1046
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1048
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
1054
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
1055
history just to set the last revision info.
1056
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1058
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
1059
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
1060
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
1061
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1063
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
1064
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
1065
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
1066
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
1067
(John Arbash Meinel)
1069
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
1070
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1072
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
1073
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
1074
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
1075
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
1076
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
1078
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
1079
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
1080
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
1081
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
1086
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
1087
(Martin Pool, #289148)
1089
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
1090
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
1092
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
1093
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
1094
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
1095
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
1097
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
1098
starting with a dotted revno.
1099
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
1101
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
1102
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
1103
(Martin Pool, #288751)
1105
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
1106
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
1107
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
1109
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
1110
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
1111
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
1113
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
1114
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
1115
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
1116
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
1118
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
1119
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
1120
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
1122
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
1123
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
1128
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
1129
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
1130
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
1131
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
1133
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
1134
have changed incompatibly.
1136
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
1137
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
1138
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
1139
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
1140
don't need to change.
1142
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
1143
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
1148
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
1149
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
1151
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
1157
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
1158
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
1159
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
1160
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
1161
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
1162
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
1167
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
1168
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
1170
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
1172
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
1173
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.

1178
#####################
1183
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
1184
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
1186
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
1187
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
1188
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
1189
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
1194
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
1195
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
1196
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
1197
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
1198
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
1199
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
1201
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
1202
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1204
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
1205
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
1206
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
1208
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
1209
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
1210
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
1213
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
1214
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
1216
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
1217
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
1219
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
1220
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
1222
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
1223
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
1224
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
1225
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
1226
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
1227
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
1228
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
1229
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
1230
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
1231
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
1236
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
1237
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
1239
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
1240
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
1242
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
1243
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
1244
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
1246
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
1247
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
1248
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
1250
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
1251
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
1252
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
1254
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
1255
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
1256
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
1257
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
1258
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
1259
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
1261
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
1262
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
1264
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
1265
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
1267
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
1268
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
1269
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
1270
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
1271
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
1273
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
1274
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
1275
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
1276
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
1281
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
1286
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
1291
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
1292
configuration of authetication credentials.
1298
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
1299
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
1300
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
1301
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
1302
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
1307
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
1308
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
1313
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
1314
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)

#####################
1323
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
1324
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
1325
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
1326
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
1327
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
1329
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
1330
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
1332
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
1333
server. (Marius Kruger)
1335
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
1336
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
1337
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
1338
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
1339
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
1340
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
1345
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
1346
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
1347
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
1349
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
1354
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
1355
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
1356
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
1357
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
1359
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
1360
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
1363
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
1364
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
1367
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
1370
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
1372
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
1373
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
1375
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
1376
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
1378
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
1379
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
1380
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
1381
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
1382
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
1383
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
1384
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
1385
operations. (Robert Collins)
1387
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
1389
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
1390
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
1391
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
1396
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
1397
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
1398
(Martin Pool, #279381)
1400
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
1401
repository now preserves the repository format.
1402
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
1404
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
1405
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
1407
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
1408
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
1410
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
1412
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
1414
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
1417
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
1418
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
1419
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
1421
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
1422
is in a different repository than the current one.
1423
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
1425
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
1426
(David Futcher, #242106)
1428
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
1429
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1431
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
1432
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
1433
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
1434
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
1436
* Trivial documentation fix.
1437
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
1439
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
1440
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
1441
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
1442
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
1447
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
1452
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
1453
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
1454
to use. (Robert Collins)
1456
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
1457
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
1458
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
1460
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
1461
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
1462
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
1463
they want. (Robert Collins)
1468
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
1469
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
1470
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
1472
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
1473
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
1476
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
1479
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
1480
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
1482
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
1488
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
1489
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
1491
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
1492
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
1493
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
1495
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
1496
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
1497
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
1499
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
1500
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1502
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
1503
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
1505
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
1506
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
1508
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
1509
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
1510
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
1511
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept

1525
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
1526
file paths when we encounter complex history.
1531
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
1532
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
1533
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
1534
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.

(John Arbash Meinel)
1541
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
1542
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
1543
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
1544
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
1545
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
1546
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.

#####################
1584
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
1585
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
1586
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
1587
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
1588
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
1589
it in a future repository format.
1595
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
1598
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
1599
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
1600
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
1602
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
1603
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
1604
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
1609
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
1610
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
1612
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
1617
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
1618
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
1621
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
1622
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
1624
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
1625
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
1628
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
1629
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
1630
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
1631
(John Arbash Meinel)
1633
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
1634
(Martin Pool, #261315)
1636
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
1637
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
1638
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
1639
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
1640
(John Arbash Meinel)
1642
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
1643
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
1644
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
1645
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
1646
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
1647
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
1648
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
1649
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
1650
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
1651
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1656
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
1657
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
1659
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
1660
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
1661
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
1663
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
1664
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
1665
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
1667
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
1668
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
1669
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
1670
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
1671
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
1672
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
1674
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
1675
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
1677
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
1678
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
1680
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
1681
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
1682
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
1683
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
1684
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
1685
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
1687
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
1688
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
1690
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
1691
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
1693
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
1694
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
1695
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
1696
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
1698
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
1699
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
1701
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
1702
assuming the host name is ascii.
1703
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
1705
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
1706
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
1711
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
1716
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
1718
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
1719
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
1720
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
1723
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
1724
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1726
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
1727
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
1729
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
1730
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
1735
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
1736
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
1737
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
1738
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
1740
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
1744
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
1745
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
1746
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1748
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
1754
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
1755
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
1758
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
1759
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
1760
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
1761
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
1762
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1764
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
1765
is unknown in both source and target.
1766
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
1768
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
1769
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
1770
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
1771
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1773
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
1774
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
1775
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
1776
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

#######################
1802
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
1803
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
1804
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
1805
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
1806
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
1807
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
1808
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
1809
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
1810
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
1811
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
1812
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
1813
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
1818
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
1819
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
1820
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
1821
start of the string (causing more copies).
1822
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
1823
especially for projects with large files.
1824
(John Arbash Meinel)
1826
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
1827
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
1828
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
1829
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
1830
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
1832
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
1833
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
1834
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
1835
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
1836
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.
1837
(John Arbash Meinel, #262333)
1843
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
1844
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
1845
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
1846
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
1847
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
1848
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
1849
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
1850
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
1851
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
1854
bzr 1.6rc5 2008-08-19
1855
#####################
1860
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
1861
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
1862
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
1863
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
1864
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
1867
bzr 1.6rc4 2008-08-18
1868
#####################
1873
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
1874
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
1875
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
1878
bzr 1.6rc3 2008-08-14
1879
#####################
1884
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
1885
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
1891
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
1892
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
1893
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
1899
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
1900
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
1901
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
1903
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
1904
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
1905
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
1906
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
1907
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
1908
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
1909
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
1912
bzr 1.6rc2 2008-08-13
1913
#####################
1915
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
1921
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
1922
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
1924
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
1925
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
1928
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
1929
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
1930
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
1931
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
1932
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
1934
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
1935
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1937
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
1938
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
1940
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
1941
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
1943
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
1944
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
1945
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
1946
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
1947
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
1948
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
1951
bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
1952
#####################
1954
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
1955
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
1956
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
1957
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
1958
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
1963
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
1964
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
1965
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
1970
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
1971
check. (Daniel Watkins)
1973
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
1974
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
1976
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
1977
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
1978
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1980
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
1983
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
1984
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
1985
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
1986
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
1987
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
1988
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
1989
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1991
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
1992
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
1993
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
1998
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
1999
physical repository boundaries.
2000
(Martin Pool, #252428)
2002
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
2003
(Martin Pool, #206258)
2005
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
2006
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
2009
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
2012
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
2013
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
2014
that Python is running from.
2015
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
2017
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
2018
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
2019
(Robert Collins, #150438)
2021
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
2022
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
2024
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
2025
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
2026
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
2028
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
2029
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
2031
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
2032
(James Westby, #248448)
2037
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
2038
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
2039
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
2042
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
2043
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
2046
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
2047
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
2048
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
2049
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
2050
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
2051
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
2054
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
2055
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2057
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
2058
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
2059
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
2060
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
2061
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
2062
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
2067
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
2068
putting together a real history without having to create a full
2069
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
2070
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
2071
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
2072
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2074
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
2075
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
2076
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
2078
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
2081
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
2082
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
2084
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.

#######################
2091
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
2092
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
2093
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
2094
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
2100
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
2101
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
2102
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
2104
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
2105
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
2106
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
2107
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
2108
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
2111
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
2113
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
2114
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
2115
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
2121
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
2122
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
2125
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
2126
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
2127
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
2128
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
2130
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
2131
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
2132
(Christophe Troestler)
2134
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
2135
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
2137
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
2138
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
2139
faster. The new request method name is
2140
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2145
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
2146
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
2147
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
2148
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
2149
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
2151
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
2152
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
2154
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
2155
requires a branch to be present.
2156
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
2158
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
2160
(Martin Pool, #205230)
2162
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
2163
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
2164
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
2165
(Martin Pool, #240161)
2167
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
2168
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
2170
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
2172
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
2174
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
2175
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
2176
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
2177
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
2178
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
2180
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
2181
(Martin Pool, #172870)
2183
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
2184
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
2186
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
2188
(Matt McClure, #209281)
2190
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
2191
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
2193
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
2194
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
2199
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
2202
* Updated developer documentation.
2208
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
2209
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
2211
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
2212
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
2213
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
2214
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
2219
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
2220
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
2221
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
2222
Repository docstring for more details.
2225
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
2226
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
2227
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
2229
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
2230
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
2233
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
2234
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
2235
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
2236
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
2241
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
2242
(Alexander Belchenko)
2244
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
2245
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
2246
containing a given location.
2249
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
2250
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
2251
storage. (Robert Collins)
2253
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
2256
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
2257
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.

#######################
2264
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
2265
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
2266
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
2272
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
2273
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
2274
reading from the repository.)
2275
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
2277
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
2278
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
2280
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
2281
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
2284
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
2285
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
2286
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
2288
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
2289
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
2290
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
2292
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
2293
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
2295
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
2296
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
2297
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
2298
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
2303
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
2305
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
2306
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
2307
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
2310
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
2311
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
2316
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2321
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
2322
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
2327
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
2328
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
2329
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
2330
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
2331
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
2333
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
2334
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
2339
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
2340
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
2342
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
2343
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)

#######################
2350
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
2351
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
2352
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
2353
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
2354
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
2355
and future extensions.
2358
Notes When Upgrading
2359
********************
2361
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
2362
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
2363
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
2364
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
2365
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
2366
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
2367
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
2368
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
2373
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
2374
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
2375
(John Arbash Meinel)
2380
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
2381
load. (James Westby)
2386
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
2387
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
2388
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
2389
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2391
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
2392
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
2393
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
2395
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
2396
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
2398
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
2399
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
2400
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
2402
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
2403
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
2404
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
2405
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
2406
step closer to not using full revision history.
2407
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
2412
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
2413
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
2415
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
2416
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
2418
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
2419
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
2421
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
2422
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
2423
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
2424
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
2426
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
2427
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
2428
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
2429
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
2431
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
2432
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
2433
in use by another process.
2436
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
2437
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
2438
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
2439
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
2441
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
2442
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
2444
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
2445
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
2446
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
2448
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
2449
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
2450
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
2452
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
2454
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
2456
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
2457
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
2459
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
2460
under vim on Mac OS X.
2461
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2463
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
2464
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
2469
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
2470
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
2472
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
2473
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
2476
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
2477
and about use of Python reprs.
2478
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
2480
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
2485
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
2488
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
2489
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
2491
* New helper function for splitting test suites
2492
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
2497
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
2498
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
2499
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
2500
(John Arbash Meinel)
2505
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
2506
instead. (Martin Pool)
2508
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
2509
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
2510
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
2511
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
2513
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
2514
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
2515
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
2516
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
2517
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
2519
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
2520
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
2521
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
2522
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
2523
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
2524
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
2526
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
2527
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
2530
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
2531
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
2534
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
2535
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
2536
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
2537
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
2539
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
2540
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
2541
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
2543
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
2544
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
2545
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
2546
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
2547
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
2550
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
2551
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
2552
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
2553
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
2556
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
2557
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
2558
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
2559
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
2560
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
2562
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
2569
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
2570
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
2571
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
2576
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
2577
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
2578
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
2583
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
2584
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.

#####################
2594
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
2595
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
2596
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
2597
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
2602
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
2603
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
2605
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
2606
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
2608
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
2614
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
2615
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
2617
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
2618
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
2620
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
2621
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
2622
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
2624
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
2625
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
2626
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
2628
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
2631
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
2632
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
2634
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
2635
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
2637
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
2638
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
2640
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
2641
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
2643
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
2644
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
2645
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
2647
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
2648
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
2650
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
2651
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
2653
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
2654
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
2655
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
2656
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
2658
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
2659
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
2662
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
2663
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
2664
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
2666
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
2667
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
2668
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
2669
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
2670
every revision each side had in common.
2671
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2673
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
2674
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
2676
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
2677
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
2678
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
2679
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
2684
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
2685
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
2686
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
2687
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
2689
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
2691
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
2693
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
2694
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
2699
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
2700
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
2701
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
2703
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
2704
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
2705
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
2706
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
2708
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
2709
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2711
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
2712
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
2713
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
2714
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2716
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
2717
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
2718
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
2719
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2724
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
2725
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
2726
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
2728
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
2730
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
2731
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
2733
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
2734
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2736
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
2737
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
2742
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
2743
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
2744
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
2746
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
2747
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
2748
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
2751
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
2752
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
2755
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.
2762
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
2763
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
2764
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
2765
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
2766
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
2767
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
2768
and faster performance.
2773
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
2774
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the

2809
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
2811
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
2812
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
2814
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
2815
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
2816
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
2818
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
2819
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
2820
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
2821
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
2822
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
2823
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
2826
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
2827
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
2828
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
2829
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
2834
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
2836
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
2837
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
2838
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
2840
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
2841
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
2842
See the User Reference for signature details.
2843
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
2845
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
2846
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
2851
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
2852
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
2853
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
2854
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2856
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
2857
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
2859
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
2860
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
2861
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
2864
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
2867
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
2868
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
2869
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
2871
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
2874
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
2875
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
2877
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
2878
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
2880
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
2881
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
2882
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
2884
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
2885
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
2886
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
2887
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
2888
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
2890
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
2891
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
2893
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
2894
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2899
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
2900
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
2901
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
2902
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
2903
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
2904
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
2906
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
2907
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
2909
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
2910
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
2911
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
2913
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
2914
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
2916
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
2917
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
2918
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
2919
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2921
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
2922
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
2923
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
2924
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
2925
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
2927
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
2929
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.

2935
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
2937
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.

* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2949
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
2954
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
2955
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
2956
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
2958
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
2959
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
2960
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
2961
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
2963
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
2964
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
2965
release. (James Westby)
2967
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
2970
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
2972
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
2973
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
2975
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
2976
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
2978
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
2979
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
2981
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
2982
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
2983
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
2985
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
2986
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
2987
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
2988
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
2990
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
2991
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
2992
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
2993
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
2995
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
2996
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
2997
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
2998
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
2999
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
3000
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
3002
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
3003
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
3004
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
3006
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
3007
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
3009
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
3010
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
3013
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
3014
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
3016
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
3017
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
3019
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
3020
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
3022
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
3023
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
3024
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
3026
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
3027
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
3028
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
3029
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
3030
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
3031
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
3036
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
3037
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
3038
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
3039
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
3041
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
3042
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
3043
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
3044
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
3048
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
3049
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
3052
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
3053
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
3055
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
3057
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
3058
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
3059
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
3064
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3066
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
3069
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
3070
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
3071
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
3072
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
3073
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
3074
(Martin Pool, #109520)
3076
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
3077
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
3079
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
3080
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
3081
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
3082
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
3084
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
3085
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
3087
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
3088
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
3130
********************
3132
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
3133
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
3138
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
3139
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
3140
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
3141
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
3144
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
3145
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
3146
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
3147
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
3148
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
3149
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
3151
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
3152
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
3153
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
3154
(Alexander Belchenko)
3156
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
3158
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
3159
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
3164
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
3165
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
3167
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
3168
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
3174
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
3176
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3178
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
3179
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
3180
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
3182
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
3183
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
3185
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
3186
to. (Daniel Watkins)
3188
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
3189
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
3190
(Alexander Belchenko)
3192
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
3193
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
3194
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
3195
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
3197
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
3200
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
3201
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
3202
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
3203
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
3204
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
3209
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
3210
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
3211
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
3212
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
3214
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
3215
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
3217
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
3218
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
3220
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
3221
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
3222
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
3224
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
3225
(#198793, John Ferlito)
3227
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
3230
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
3231
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
3233
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
3235
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
3237
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
3238
symlinks (James Henstridge)
3240
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
3241
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
3243
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
3244
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
3246
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
3247
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
3249
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
3250
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
3252
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
3253
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
3258
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
3259
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
3264
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
3265
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
3266
(Alexander Belchenko)
3271
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
3273
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
3274
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
3280
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
3281
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
3282
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
3284
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
3285
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
3286
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
3287
(Alexander Belchenko)
3289
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
3290
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
3291
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
3292
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
3294
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
3295
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
3296
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
3299
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
3300
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
3301
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
3303
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
3304
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
3305
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
3307
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
3308
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
3309
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
3310
format. (Robert Collins)
3319
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)

3325
Notes When Upgrading
3326
********************
3328
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
3329
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
3330
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
3331
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
3332
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
3338
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
3339
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
3341
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
3342
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
3343
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
3345
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
3346
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
3347
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
3348
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
3349
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
3350
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
3356
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
3357
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3359
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
3360
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
3361
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
3364
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
3365
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
3366
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
3367
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
3368
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
3370
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
3371
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
3372
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
3373
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
3374
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
3375
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
3376
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
3377
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
3382
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
3383
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
3385
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
3386
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
3388
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
3389
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3391
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
3392
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
3393
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
3395
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
3396
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
3397
(John Arbash Meinel)
3402
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
3403
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
3405
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
3406
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
3408
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
3409
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
3411
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
3412
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
3413
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
3415
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
3416
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
3417
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
3419
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
3420
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
3422
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
3423
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
3424
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
3425
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
3426
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
3428
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
3430
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
3431
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
3434
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
3435
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
3437
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
3438
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
3440
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
3441
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
3443
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
3444
more characters which should be considered valid.
3445
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
3447
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
3448
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
3450
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
3451
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
3456
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
3457
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
3459
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
3460
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
3466
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
3467
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
3473
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
3474
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
3475
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
3477
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
3478
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
3479
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
3481
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
3482
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
3483
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
3484
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
3486
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
3488
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
3489
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
3490
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
3491
server. (Robert Collins)
3493
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
3494
operate. (Robert Collins)
3496
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
3497
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
3498
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
3500
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
3501
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
3502
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
3503
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
3505
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
3506
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
3508
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
3509
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
3510
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
3512
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
3513
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
3515
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
3516
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
3518
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
3519
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
3520
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
3521
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05

#####################
3535
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
3536
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
3537
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
3538
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
3540
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
3541
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
3542
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
3543
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
3548
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
3551
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
3554
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
3555
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)

* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
3563
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
3564
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
3565
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
3567
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
3569
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
3570
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
3571
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
3572
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
3573
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
3575
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
3576
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
3577
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
3579
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
3580
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
3582
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
3585
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
3587
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
3589
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
3592
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
3593
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
3598
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.

3602
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
3604
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
3607
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
3608
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
3610
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
3611
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
3613
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
3614
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3616
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
3617
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
3619
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
3620
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
3621
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
3623
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
3624
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
3626
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
3627
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
3630
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
3632
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
3633
user:pass embedded in the urls.
3634
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)

* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
3642
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
3645
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
3646
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
3648
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
3651
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
3652
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
3655
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
3656
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
3657
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
3662
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
3665
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
3666
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
3667
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
3668
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
3669
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
3670
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
3672
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)

3683
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
3685
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
3686
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
3687
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
3690
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
3691
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3693
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
3702
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
3703
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
3704
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
3706
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
3707
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
3710
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
3711
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
3713
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
3714
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
3716
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
3717
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
3719
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
3720
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
3721
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
3723
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
3724
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
3726
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
3727
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
3729
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
3730
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
3733
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
3734
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
3736
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
3737
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
3746
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
3748

3829
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
3830
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the

Notes When Upgrading
3879
********************
3881
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
3882
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
3883
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
3884
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
3886
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
3887
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
3889
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
3890
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
3892
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
3893
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
3894
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
3895
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
3896
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
3897
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
3898
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
3899
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
3900
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
3901
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
3902
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
3903
from any tree without problems.
3904
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
3909
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
3910
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
3911
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
3913
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
3914
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
3920
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
3921
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
3922
supported transports.
3925
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
3926
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
3927
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
3929
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
3930
(Robert Collins, #154173)
3932
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
3933
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
3934
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
3935
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
3937
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
3938
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
3943
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
3944
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
3945
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
3946
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3948
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
3949
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
3950
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
3951
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
3953
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
3954
(Robert Collins, #88319)
3956
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
3957
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
3959
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
3960
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
3962
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
3963
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
3969
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
3972
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
3973
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
3976
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
3977
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
3978
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
3979
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
3981
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
3982
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
3983
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
3984
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
3992
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
3993
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
3995
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
3996
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
3998
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
3999
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
4001
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
4002
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
4004
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
4005
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
4007
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.

4010
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
4011
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
4013
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
4016
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
4017
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
4019
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
4020
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
4021
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
4023
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
4024
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
4026
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
4027
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
4029
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
4030
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
4032
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
4033
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
4035
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
4036
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
4037
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
4038
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
4040
(Martin Pool, #164637)
4042
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
4043
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
4044
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
4046
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.

4053
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
4054
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
4056
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
4057
specify a port in urls.

Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
4063
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.

4066
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
4067

4072
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
4073
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
4074
(Robert Collins, #165304).
4076
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
4078
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
4079
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
4081
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
4084
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
4085

4087
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
4088
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
4090
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
4091
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
4092
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
4094
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
4095
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
4097
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
4098
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
4099
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
4100
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
4102
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
4103
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
4105
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
4106
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
4107
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
4109
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
4110
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
4112
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
4113
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
4115
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
4116
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
4121
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
4122
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
4124
* The return value of
4125
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
4126
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
4127
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
4128
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
4130
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
4133
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
4134
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
4141
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
4142
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
4143
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
4146
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
4147
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
4149
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
4158
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)

######################
4167
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
4168
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
4170
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
4171
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
4172
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
4173
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
4174
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
4175
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
4176
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
4177
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
4178
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
4179
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
4180
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
4181
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
4187
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
4188
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
4189
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
4190
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
4191
commands. (Robert Collins)
4193
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
4194
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
4195
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
4198
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
4200
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
4201
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
4203
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
4204
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
4207
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
4208
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
4209
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
4214
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
4215
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
4217
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
4218
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
4220
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
4221
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
4222
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
4223
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
4225
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
4228
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
4229
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
4230
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
4231
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
4233
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
4234
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
4236
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
4237
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
4239
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
4240
the contents. (Robert Collins)
4242
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
4243
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
4248
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
4249
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
4251
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
4252
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
4254
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
4255
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
4257
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
4258
(Martin Pool, #63894)
4260
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
4261
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
4266
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
4268
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
4274
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
4275
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
4276
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
4278
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
4279
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
4281
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
4282
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
4284
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
4285
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
4286
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
4287
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
4289
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
4290
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
4291
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
4292
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
4293
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
4295
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
4296
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
4298
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
4300
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
4302
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
4303
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
4305
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
4306
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
4308
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
4309
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
4311
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
4312
contains a symbolic link.
4313
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
4315
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
4316
(James Westby, #140615)
4318
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
4319
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
4320
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
4322
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
4323
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
4324
(Martin Pool, #144633)
4326
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4328
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
4329
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
4331
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
4333
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
4335
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
4336
directory to detect leaking tests.
4337
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
4339
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
4340
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
4341
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
4343
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
4346
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
4347
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
4349
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
4355
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
4356
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
4358
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
4359
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
4360
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
4362
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
4363
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
4364
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
4366
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
4367
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
4369
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
4370
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
4372
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
4373
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
4376
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
4377
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
4379
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
4380
class that needs it.
4383
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
4384
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
4386
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
4387
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
4388
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
4390
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
4391
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
4392
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
4395
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
4396
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
4397
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
4398
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
4404
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
4405
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
4406
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
4408
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
4409
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
4410
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
4411
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
4413
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
4414
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
4417
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
4418
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
4419
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
4421
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
4422
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
4423
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
4425
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
4426
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
4428
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
4429
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
4430
to complete. (Robert Collins)
4432
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
4433
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
4435
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
4436
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
4437
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
4439
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
4440
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
4441
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
4443
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
4444
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
4445
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
4446
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
4448
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
4449
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
4450
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
4451
returned. (Robert Collins)
4453
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
4454
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
4456
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
4457
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
4458
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
4459
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
4462
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
4463
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
4468
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
4469
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
4471
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
4472
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
4473
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
4474
makes this behavior available to other users.
4477
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
4478
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
4487
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
4488
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
4489
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
4491
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
4493
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
4494
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
4495
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
4496
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
4498
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
4499
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
4503
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
4504
######################
4506
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
4507
in bzrlib/remote.py.
4510
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
4511
######################
4516
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
4517
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
4518
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
4519
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
4522
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
4523
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
4524
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
4530
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
4531
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
4532
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
4535
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
4536
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
4537
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
4539
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
4540
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
4541
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
4543
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
4544
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
4546
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
4547
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
4548
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
4549
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
4550
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
4551
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
4552
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
4553
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
4554
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
4555
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
4557
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
4558
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
4560
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
4561
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
4562
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
4567
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
4568
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
4570
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
4571
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
4572
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
4574
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
4575
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
4577
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
4578
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
4580
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
4583
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
4584
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
4586
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
4587
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
4589
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
4590
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4592
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
4593
(Blake Winton, #129299)
4595
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
4597
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
4600
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
4601
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
4602
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
4603
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
4605
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4607
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
4608
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
4611
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
4612
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
4614
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
4615
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
4618
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
4619
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
4621
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
4622
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
4624
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
4625
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
4626
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
4627
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
4628
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
4629
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
4630
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
4632
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
4633
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
4635
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
4636
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
4638
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
4639
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
4641
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
4642
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
4644
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
4646
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
4648
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
4649
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
4651
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
4652
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
4653
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
4655
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
4656
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
4657
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
4662
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
4663
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4665
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
4668
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
4671
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
4672
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
4674
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
4676
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
4677
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
4679
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
4680
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
4682
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
4683
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
4684
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
4685
space). (Robert Collins)
4687
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
4688
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
4691
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
4692
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4694
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
4695
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
4697
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
4698
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
4699
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
4700
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
4702
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
4703
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
4704
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
4707
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
4710
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
4711
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
4712
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
4714
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
4715
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
4716
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
4717
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
4718
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
4723
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
4724
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
4726
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
4727
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
4728
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
4729
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
4730
affected. (Robert Collins)
4732
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
4733
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
4734
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
4737
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
4738
previous release. (Martin Pool)
4743
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
4744
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
4746
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
4747
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4749
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
4750
previous release. (Martin Pool)
4752
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
4755
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
4756
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4761
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
4762
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
4763
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
4764
its version information. (Robert Collins)
4766
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
4767
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4769
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
4770
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
4771
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
4772
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4774
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
4775
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
4776
present. (Robert Collins)
4778
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
4779
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
4780
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
4781
API. (Robert Collins)
4783
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
4784
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
4787
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
4788
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
4790
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
4791
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
4792
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
4793
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
4794
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
4795
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
4797
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
4798
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
4799
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
4801
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
4802
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
4803
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
4804
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
4807
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
4810
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
4811
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
4812
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
4813
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
4814
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
4815
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
4816
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
4818
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
4819
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
4820
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
4821
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
4823
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
4824
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
4825
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
4826
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
4827
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
4828
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
4830
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
4831
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
4832
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
4834
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
4835
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
4844
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
4845
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
4846
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
4847
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
4848
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
4849
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
4850
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
4851
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
4857
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
4858
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
4859
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)

* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
4869
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the

4871
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.

4881
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
4882
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
4885
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
4886
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
4889
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
4892
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists

* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
4896
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)

* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
4905
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
4907
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
4913
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
4914
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
4916
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
4917
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
4919
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
4920
the repository (Robert Collins)
4922
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
4923
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
4924
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
4925
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
4926
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
4928
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
4929
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
4931
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
4932
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
4933
(John Arbash Meinel)
4935
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
4936
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
4937
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
4939
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
4940
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
4941
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
4942
(John Arbash Meinel)
4944
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
4945
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
4948
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
4949
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
4951
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
4954
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
4956
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
4958
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
4959
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
4961
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
4962
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
4965
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
4966
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
4967
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
4968
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
4970
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
4971
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
4972
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
4974
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
4975
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
4976
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
4978
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
4979
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
4981
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
4982
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
4983
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
4984
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
4985
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
4986
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
4989
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
4990
(Alexander Belchenko)
4992
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
4993
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
4995
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
4996
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)

* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
5000
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
5001
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
5006
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
5007
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
5008
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
5009
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
5011
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
5013
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
5016
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
5017
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
5018
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
5019
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
5020
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
5021
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
5026
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
5027
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
5028
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
5029
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
5031
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
5032
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
5033
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
5034
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
5035
tests have been refactored too.
5038
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
5039
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
5040
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
5044
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
5045
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
5046
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
5048
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
5049
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
5050
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
5051
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
5052
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
5053
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
5054
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
5056
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
5057
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
5058
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
5059
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
5060
(John Arbash Meinel)
5062
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
5063
functionality for testing.
5065
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
5067
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
5068
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
5070
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
5072
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
5075
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
5076
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
5078
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
5079
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
5080
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
5082
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
5085
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
5086
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
5088
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
5089
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
5090
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
5091
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
5093
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
5094
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
5096
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
5097
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
5098
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
5100
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
5103
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
5104
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
5105
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
5106
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
5107
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
5108
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
5110
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
5111
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
5112
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
5113
many files. (Robert Collins)
5115
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
5116
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
5117
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
5118
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
5123
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
5124
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
5125
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
5127
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
5128
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
5130
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
5131
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
5132
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

5200
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the

output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree

* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
5216
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)

stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
5221
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
5222
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
5223
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
5224
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
5225
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
5227
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
5228
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.

Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
5231
can be slow it is useful feedback).

* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
5317
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
5319
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
5322
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
5325
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
5326
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
5327
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
5329
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
5331
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
5332
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
5333
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
5335
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
5336
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
5338
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
5339
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
5340
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
5342
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
5343
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
5344
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
5346
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
5347
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
5348
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
5350
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
5351
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
5354
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
5355
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
5357
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
5358
(Alexander Belchenko)
5363
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
5364
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
5365
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
5366
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
5368
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
5369
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
5370
testing. (Robert Collins)
5372
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
5373
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
5375
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
5376
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
5377
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
5378
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
5379
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
5380
attribute during the test parameterisation in
5381
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
5383
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
5384
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
5385
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
5386
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
5388
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
5389
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
5391
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
5392
avoid useless cloning.

Notes When Upgrading
5413
********************
5415
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
5416
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
5417
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
5418
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
5419
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
5420
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
5421
and unlock() like so::
5423
work_tree.lock_read()
5425
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
5431
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
5432
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
5434
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
5435
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
5436
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
5438
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
5439
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
5440
too. (Robert Collins)
5445
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
5446
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
5449
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
5450
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
5452
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
5453
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
5455
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
5456
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
5457
understanding what changes have occurred
5458
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
5460
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
5461
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
5462
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
5464
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
5465
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
5466
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
5467
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
5469
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
5475
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
5476
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
5477
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
5478
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
5479
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
5481
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
5482
based on split paths, not just string paths.
5483
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
5485
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
5486
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
5488
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
5490
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
5492
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
5493
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
5495
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
5496
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
5498
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
5499
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
5501
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
5502
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
5504
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
5505
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
5507
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
5508
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
5509
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
5512
####################
5517
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
5518
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
5519
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
5520
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
5521
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
5523
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
5524
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
5525
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
5527
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
5528
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
5533
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
5534
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
5535
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
5537
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
5538
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
5539
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
5540
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
5542
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30

#######################
5548
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
5549
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
5550
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
5551
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
5553
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
5554
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
5555
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
5557
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
5558
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
5560
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
5561
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
5563
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
5564
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

Notes When Upgrading
5570
********************
5572
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
5573
it could be recovered again.
5574
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
5575
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
5576
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
5578
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
5580
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
5581
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
5586
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
5587
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
5589
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
5590
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
5591
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
5592
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
5594
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
5595
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
5597
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
5598
tests with names that match that regular expression.
5599
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
5601
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
5602
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
5603
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
5605
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
5606
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
5607
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
5609
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
5610
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
5613
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
5616
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
5617
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
5618
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
5619
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
5621
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
5624
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
5625
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
5626
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
5629
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
5630
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
5632
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
5633
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
5635
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
5636
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
5637
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
5638
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
5641
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
5642
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
5644
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
5645
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
5647
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
5648
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
5649
(Robert Collins, #107125).
5651
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
5652
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
5653
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
5655
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
5656
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
5657
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5659
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
5660
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
5661
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
5662
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
5664
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
5665
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
5666
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
5667
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
5669
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
5670
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
5671
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
5672
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
5673
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
5674
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
5675
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
5676
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
5683
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
5684
code paths. (Robert Collins)
5686
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
5687
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
5688
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
5689
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
5690
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5692
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
5693
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
5695
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
5696
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
5698
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
5699
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
5701
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
5702
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
5704
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
5705
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
5706
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
5709
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
5710
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
5711
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
5712
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
5713
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
5716
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
5717
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
5718
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
5720
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
5721
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
5724
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
5725
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
5726
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
5729
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
5730
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
5731
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
5732
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
5733
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
5735
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
5736
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
5737
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
5738
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5740
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
5741
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
5743
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
5744
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
5745
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
5746
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
5747
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
5748
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
5750
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
5751
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
5753
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
5754
help. (Robert Collins)
5756
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
5757
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
5759
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
5760
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
5761
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
5762
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
5763
(John Arbash Meinel)
5765
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
5766
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
5767
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
5768
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
5769
useful. (Robert Collins)
5771
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
5777
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
5778
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
5780
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
5781
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
5783
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
5784
properly and is no longer beneficial.
5785
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
5787
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
5790
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
5791
the file, and does it faster.
5792
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
5794
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
5795
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
5796
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
5798
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
5799
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
5800
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
5801
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
5803
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
5804
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
5805
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
5806
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
5808
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
5809
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
5811
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
5812
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
5813
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
5814
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
5817
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
5819
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
5820
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
5822
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
5823
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
5825
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
5826
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
5827
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
5828
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
5832
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
5833
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
5838
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
5839
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
5840
in running it. (Robert Collins)
5842
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
5843
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
5845
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
5846
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
5847
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
5848
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
5849
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
5850
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
5851
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
5852
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5854
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
5855
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
5856
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5858
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
5859
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
5860
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
5861
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
5862
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
5864
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5866
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
5867
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
5868
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
5870
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
5871
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
5880
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
5883
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
5884
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.

#######################
5893
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
5894
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
5900
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
5901
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
5902
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
5903
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
5904
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
5905
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
5906
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
5907
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
5913
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
5914
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
5915
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
5917
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
5918
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
5921
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
5922
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
5923
(John Arbash Meinel)
5925
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
5926
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
5927
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
5928
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
5929
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
5934
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
5937
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
5938
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
5940
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
5941
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
5943
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
5944
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
5945
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
5947
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
5948
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
5950
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
5951
last-changed-revision for directories. The
5952
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
5953
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
5954
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
5956
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
5957
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
5958
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
5960

Notes When Upgrading
5967
********************
5969
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
5970
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
5971
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
5976
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
5977
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
5979
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
5980
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
5982
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
5984
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
5985
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
5987
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
5988
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
5993
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
5999
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
6000
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
6001
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
6002
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
6004
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
6005
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
6007
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
6008
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
6010
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
6013
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

6017
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
6018
#######################
6023
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
6024
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
6025
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
6026
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
6027
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
6028
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
6030
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
6031
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
6032
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
6033
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
6034
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
6035
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
6037
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
6039
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
6040
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
6041
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
6042
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
6043
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
6044
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
6045
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
6046
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
6051
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
6052
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
6054
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
6055
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
6056
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
6057
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
6059
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
6060
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
6061
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
6062
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
6063
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
6065
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
6068
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
6071
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
6074
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
6075
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
6078
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
6081
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
6082
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
6084
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
6085
directory. (Martin Pool)
6087
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
6088
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
6089
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
6090
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
6092
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
6093
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
6094
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
6095
in docs/configuration.txt.
6097
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
6098
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
6101
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
6102
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
6103
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
6104
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
6105
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
6106
repositories. (Martin Pool)
6108
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
6109
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
6111
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
6112
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
6114
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
6120
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
6121
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
6122
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
6123
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
6124
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
6125
(John Arbash Meinel)
6127
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
6128
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
6131
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
6132
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
6133
(John Arbash Meinel)
6135
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
6136
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
6137
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
6138
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
6139
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
6140
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
6142
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
6143
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
6144
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
6146
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
6147
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
6148
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
6149
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
6151
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6153
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
6154
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
6155
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
6156
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
6158
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
6159
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
6160
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
6161
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
6163
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
6164
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
6165
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
6167
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
6168
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
6169
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
6171
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
6172
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
6173
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
6174
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
6176
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
6177
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
6178
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
6180
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
6181
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
6182
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
6184
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
6185
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
6186
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
6187
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
6188
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
6189
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
6190
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
6191
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
6192
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
6193
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
6194
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
6199
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
6200
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
6201
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
6203
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
6206
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
6207
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
6208
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
6209
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
6211
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
6212
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
6215
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
6216
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
6218
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
6220
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
6221
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
6222
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
6224
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
6225
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
6227
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
6228
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
6230
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
6231
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
6233
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.

6238
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
6239
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
6244

6245
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

####################
6254
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)

6260
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
6261
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
6263
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
6264
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
6265
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
6268
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16

#######################
6274
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
6275
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
6276
server, then you can write over the http connection.
6277
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
6279
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
6282
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
6283
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
6284
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
6286
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
6287
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
6289
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
6292
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
6293
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
6294
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
6295
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
6296
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
6297
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
6299
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
6300
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
6301
should enable you to do::
6303
[/home/user/project]
6304
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
6305
push_location:policy = appendpath
6307
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
6308
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
6311
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
6312
for each file. For example::
6314
$ bzr status --short
6320
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
6321
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
6323
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
6325
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
6326
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
6328
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
6333
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
6334
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
6335
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
6336
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
6338
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
6339
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
6340
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
6342
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
6344
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
6345
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
6346
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
6347
(Alexander Belchenko)
6349
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
6352
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
6353
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
6355
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
6360
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
6361
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
6363
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
6364
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
6365
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
6366
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
6367
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
6369
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
6370
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
6372
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
6373
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
6375
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
6377
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
6379
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
6380
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
6381
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
6382
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
6383
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
6385
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
6386
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
6387
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
6388
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
6390
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
6391
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
6393
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
6394
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
6396
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
6397

(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
6441
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
6446
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
6447
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
6450
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
6451
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
6452
(John Arbash Meinel)
6454
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
6455
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
6456
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
6457
(John Arbash Meinel)
6459
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
6460
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
6462
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
6463
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
6465
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
6466
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
6472
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
6473
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
6474
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
6476
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
6477
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
6478
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``

* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
6483
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
6484
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
6486
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
6487
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
6488
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
6489
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
6491
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
6492
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
6493
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
6495
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
6496
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
6497
them as full references rather than integers.
6498
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
6500
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
6501
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
6503
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
6505
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.

(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
6508
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
6509
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
6511
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
6512
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
6513
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
6514
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
6516
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
6517
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
6518
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
6520
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
6521
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
6523
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
6524
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
6525
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
6526
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
6527
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)

* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
6533
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
6552
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
6553
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
6554
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
6556
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
6557
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
6559
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
6561
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
6562
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
6563
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
6564
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
6566
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
6567
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
6568
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
6569
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
6570
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
6575
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
6576
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
6581
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
6582
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
6583
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
6585
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
6586
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
6587
(John Arbash Meinel)
6589
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
6590
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
6591
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
6593
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
6594
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
6597
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
6598
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
6599
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6601
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
6602
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
6603
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
6604
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
6605
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
6606
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6608
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
6609
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
6610
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
6613
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
6614
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
6619
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
6620
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
6621
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
6624
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
6625
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
6627
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
6628
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
6629
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
6631
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
6632
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
6634
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
6635
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
6636
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
6637
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
6639
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
6640
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
6642
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
6643
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
6644
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
6646
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
6647
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
6649
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
6651
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
6652
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
6658
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
6659
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
6660
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
6661
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)

* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
6690
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
6691
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
6692
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
6693
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
6694
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
6695
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)

6698
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
6699
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
6701
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
6703
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
6704
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
6706
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
6707
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
6708
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
6711
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
6712
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
6713
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.

(John Arbash Meinel)
6716
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
6717
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
6718
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
6719
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
6722
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
6723
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
6724
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
6725
(John Arbash Meinel)
6730
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
6731
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
6733
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
6735
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
6736

6754
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
6756
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
6757

6759
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
6760
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)

* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.

6765
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
6766
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
6767
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
6769
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
6770
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
6772
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
6773
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
6774
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
6775
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
6777
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
6778
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
6779
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
6781

6782
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
6787
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)

6793
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
6794
(John Arbash Meinel)
6796
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
6797
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
6798
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
6799
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
6801
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
6804
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
6805
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
6806
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
6808
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
6809
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
6811
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
6812
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
6813
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
6815
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
6816
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
6817
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
6818
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
6819
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
6820
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
6821
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
6822
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
6823
caller to repeat their request.
6824
(John Arbash Meinel)
6826
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
6827
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
6829
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
6830
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
6832
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
6833
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
6834
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
6835
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
6836
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
6837
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
6838
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
6840
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
6841
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
6842
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
6843
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
6844
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
6845
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
6846
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
6847
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
6850
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
6851
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
6852
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
6854
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
6855
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
6857
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
6858
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
6860
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
6861
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
6866
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
6867
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
6869
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
6870
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
6871
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
6873
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
6874
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
6875
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)

6886
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
6887
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that

This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
6893
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
6895

``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with

The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
6969
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
6970
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
6972
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
6973
to more locations than just branch locations.
6979
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
6980
revno:N:branch. For example,
6981
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
6982
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
6984
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
6985
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
6986
the path of a file that has been versioned.
6987
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
6988
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
6989
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
6990
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
6991
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
6994
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
6995
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
6996
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
6999
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
7000
(Alexander Belchenko)
7002
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
7004
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
7007
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
7008
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
7009
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
7010
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
7011
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
7012
(John Arbash Meinel)
7014
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
7015
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
7016
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
7017
grained analysis of performance.
7018
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
7020
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
7021
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
7023
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
7024
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
7025
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
7026
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
7027
file. (Robert Collins).
7029
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
7030
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
7031
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
7033
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
7034
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
7037
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
7038
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
7040
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
7041
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
7042
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
7043
the same way you would apply another branch.
7044
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
7046
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
7047
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
7049
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
7052
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
7055
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
7056
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
7057
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
7059
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
7060
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
7061
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
7063
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
7064
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
7066
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
7067
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
7068
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
7069
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
7070
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
7072
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
7073
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
7075
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
7076
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
7077
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
7078
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
7079
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
7080
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
7081
branch is as much as 4x faster.
7082
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
7084
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
7085
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
7086
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
7091
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
7093
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
7095
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
7096
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
7098
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
7099
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
7101
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
7102
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
7104
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
7106
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
7107
(John Arbash Meinel)
7109
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
7110
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
7112
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
7113
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
7116
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
7117
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
7119
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
7120
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
7122
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
7123
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
7124
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
7125
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
7127
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
7128
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
7130
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
7132
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
7133
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
7135
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
7137
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
7139
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
7140
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
7142
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
7143
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
7145
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
7146
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
7147
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
7149
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
7150
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
7151
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
7153
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
7154
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
7156
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
7157
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
7159
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
7160
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
7162
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
7163
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
7165
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
7166
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
7168
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
7169
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
7170
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
7172
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
7174
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
7175
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
7180
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
7181
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
7182
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
7184
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
7185
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
7187
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
7188
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
7189
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
7191
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
7192
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
7194
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
7195
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
7198
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
7199
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
7200
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
7202
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
7203
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
7204
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
7206
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
7207
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
7208
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
7210
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
7211
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
7212
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
7214
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
7215
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
7216
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
7218
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
7219
instead. (Robert Collins)
7221
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

7276
provides a human description of the changes between two old and

uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
7288
Notes When Upgrading
7289
********************
7291
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
7292
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
7293
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
7294
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
7295
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
7296
will keep the same format.
7298
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
7299
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
7300
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
7301
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
7302
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
7304
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
7305
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
7306
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
7307
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
7308
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
7309
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
7310
indicating the current revision of the branch.
7312
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
7313
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
7314
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
7315
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
7316
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
7318
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
7319
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
7320
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
7327
* sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
7328
convention. Paths now take the form::
7330
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
7332
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
7334
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
7335
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
7337
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
7338
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
7339
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
7341
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
7342
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
7343
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
7344
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
7346
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
7347
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
7348
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
7350
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
7352
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
7354
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
7355
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
7358
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
7359
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
7362
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
7364
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
7365
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
7366
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
7369
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
7371
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
7373
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
7376
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
7377
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
7379
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
7380
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
7383
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
7384
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
7387
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
7389
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
7391
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
7392
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
7394
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
7395
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
7396
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
7397
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
7398
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
7399
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
7401
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
7403
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
7404
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
7407
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
7408
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
7410
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
7411
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
7413
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
7415
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
7416
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
7417
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
7418
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
7419
specification by Martin Pool.
7420
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
7422
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
7425
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
7426
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
7428
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
7429
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
7430
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
7432
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
7434
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
7435
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
7441
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
7442
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
7444
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
7446
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
7448
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
7451
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
7452
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
7453
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
7454
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
7459
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
7460
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
7461
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
7462
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
7464
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
7465
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
7466
tried. (Martin Pool)
7468
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
7471
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
7473
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
7474
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
7475
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
7477
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
7478
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
7480
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
7481
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
7482
paths. (Robert Collins)
7484
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
7485
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
7486
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
7488
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
7489
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
7490
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
7492
* Progress bars are now nested - see
7493
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
7494
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
7496
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
7499
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
7502
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
7504
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
7506
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
7507
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
7508
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
7511
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
7512
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
7514
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
7515
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
7516
check. (Robert Collins)
7518
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
7519
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
7524
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
7525
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
7527
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
7528
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
7529
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
7530
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
7532
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
7533
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
7534
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
7535
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
7536
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
7538
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
7539
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
7540
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
7542
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
7544
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
7545
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
7553
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
7554
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
7556
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
7557
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
7558
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
7561
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
7562
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
7564
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
7565
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
7566
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
7567
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
7568
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
7570
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
7571
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
7572
used. (Robert Collins)
7574
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
7575
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
7578
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
7579
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
7580
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
7582
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
7585
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
7586
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
7591
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
7592
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
7594
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
7596
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
7598
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
7599
tree. (Robert Collins)
7601
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
7602
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
7603
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
7606
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
7609
* Tweaks to short log printing
7611
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
7614
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
7615
occurs. (Martin Pool)
7617
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
7618
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
7620
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
7621
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
7623
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
7624
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
7625
settings. (Magnus Therning)
7627
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
7628
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
7630
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
7631
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
7634
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
7635
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
7637
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
7638
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
7640
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
7641
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
7643
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
7646
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
7647
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
7649
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
7650
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
7652
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
7653
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
7654
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
7659
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
7661
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
7663
* Error when run with -OO
7665
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
7668
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
7670
* Change status to 3 for all errors
7672
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
7673
ignored by diff and status
7675
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
7676
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
7678
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
7680
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
7682
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
7683
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
7685
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
7686
email address. (Marien Zwart)
7688
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
7691
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
7692
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
7694
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
7696
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
7697
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
7699
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
7702
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
7703
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
7705
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
7710
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
7711
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
7713
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
7715
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
7717
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
7719
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
7720
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
7721
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
7723
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
7725
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
7726
(John Arbash Meinel)
7728
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
7730
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
7731
If adding a new test script please add that to
7732
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
7734
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
7735
imported. (Martin Pool)
7737
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
7738
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
7739
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
7740
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
7741
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
7744
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
7745
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
7746
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
7748
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
7749
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
7750
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
7752
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
7753
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
7754
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
7755
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
7756
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
7759
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
7760
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
7766
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
7767
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
7769
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
7770
function. (Robert Collins)
7772
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
7773
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
7774
if needed). (Robert Collins)
7776
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
7777
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
7780
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
7781
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
7782
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
7783
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
7784
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
7785
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
7786
version. (Robert Collins)
7788
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
7789
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
7791
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
7792
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
7793
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
7794
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
7795
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
7796
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
7798
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
7801
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
7811
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
7813
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
7815
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
7818
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
7819
query method. (Robert Collins)
7821
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
7824
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
7827
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
7830
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
7831
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
7832
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
7833
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
7835
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
7836
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
7837
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
7838
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
7840
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
7841
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
7849
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
7852
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
7856
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
7857
a separator, not ':'.
7860
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
7861
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
7862
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
7864
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
7865
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
7868
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
7869
has been added that suppresses all output.
7871
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
7874
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
7875
Goffredo Baroncelli.
7877
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
7878
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
7880
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
7881
a revision. (Robert Collins)
7883
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
7884
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
7885
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
7886
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
7888
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
7890
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
7891
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
7893
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
7894
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
7896
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
7897
output directory, if one was supplied.
7899
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
7900
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
7901
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
7902
parameters. (Robert Collins)
7904
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
7906
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
7907
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
7909
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
7910
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
7911
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
7913
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
7914
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
7916
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
7919
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
7921
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
7926
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
7927
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
7928
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
7930
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
7931
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
7932
related questions. (Robert Collins)
7934
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
7935
is given. (Martin Pool)
7937
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
7938
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
7939
file. (Robert Collins)
7941
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
7947
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
7948
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
7949
representation. (Martin Pool).
7951
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
7952
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
7953
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
7955
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
7958
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
7959
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
7962
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
7963
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
7964
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
7965
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
7966
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
7968
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
7969
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
7970
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
7971
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
7972
python path. (Robert Collins)
7974
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
7975
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
7976
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
7977
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
7979
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
7980
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
7982
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
7983
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
7986
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
7987
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
7988
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
7990
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
7991
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
7992
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
7994
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
7995
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
7997
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
7998
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
7999
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
8002
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
8003
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
8004
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
8005
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
8008
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
8011
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
8012
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
8015
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
8016
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
8017
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
8019
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
8020
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
8021
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
8023
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
8024
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
8025
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
8027
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
8028
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
8030
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
8031
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
8032
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
8033
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
8034
caller. (Robert Collins)
8036
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
8037
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
8040
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
8041
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
8044
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
8046
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
8047
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
8052
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
8053
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
8055
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
8056
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
8059
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
8060
####################
8065
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
8066
allow directories to be listed.
8068
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
8069
upgrading branch format.
8074
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
8083
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
8084
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
8085
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
8086
high-latency connections.
8091
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
8094
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
8095
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
8097
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
8098
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
8099
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
8100
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
8102
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
8103
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
8105
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
8106
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
8108
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
8109
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
8110
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
8112
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
8113
for files with only a change to their executable status.
8114
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
8117
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
8118
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
8120
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
8121
different partial views of history.
8123
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
8124
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
8129
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
8130
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
8131
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
8133
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
8134
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
8137
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
8138
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
8140
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
8143
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
8144
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
8146
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
8147
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
8148
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
8149
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
8151
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
8153
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
8154
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
8157
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
8158
Contributed by Robert Collins.
8160
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
8161
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
8162
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
8168
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
8169
for your viewing pleasure.
8171
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
8172
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
8174
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
8175
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
8176
handling of such circumstances.
8178
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
8179
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
8180
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
8182
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
8184
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
8185
we call them revisions not patches.
8187
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
8188
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
8190
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
8191
giving the revision *of that file*.
8193
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
8194
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
8195
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
8200
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
8201
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
8203
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
8204
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``

* Fixed "branch -r" option.
8215
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
8218
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
8220
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
8222
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
8223
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
8228
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
8229
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
8231
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
8232
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
8233
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
8234
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by

8255
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
8256
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
8257
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
8258
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
8261
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
8264
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
8265
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
8266
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
8267
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
8268
for the operating system is still tried.
8270
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
8271
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
8272
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
8278
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
8283
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
8285
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
8288

8307
help with intelligent shell completion.
8309
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
8315
* Much better merge support.
8317
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
8318
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
8325
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
8326
mention revisions that are not present.
8328
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
8330
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
8332
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
8333
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
8339
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
8341
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
8342
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle

* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
8350
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by

8361
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
8362
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
8364
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
8366
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
8367
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
8369
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
8372
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
8374
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
8377
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
8378
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
8380
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
8381
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
8382
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
8388
* Faster working tree operations.
8394
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
8395
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
8396
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
8397
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
8399
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
8400
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
8401
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
8402
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
8403
standard plugins directory.
8405
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
8406
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
8407
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
8408
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
8410
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
8411
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
8413
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
8416
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
8417
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
8418
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
8420
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
8421
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
8423
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
8424
line options must come before the command name because they
8425
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
8426
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
8429
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
8431
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
8432
is available with ``--short``.
8438
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.

#####################
8447
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
8448
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
8450
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
8451
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
8452
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
8453
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
8455
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
8456
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
8457
with the ``--forward`` option.
8459
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
8460
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
8467
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
8468
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
8470
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
8472
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
8473
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
8475
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
8477
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
8478
either read or write mode.
8480
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
8482
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
8485
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
8487
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
8488
suggested by LarstiQ.
8490
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
8491
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
8493
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
8496
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
8497
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
8499
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
8500
haven't changed since the previous time.
8502
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
8503
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
8505
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
8507
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
8509
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
8510
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
8512
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
8513
options through to an external GNU diff.
8515
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
8518
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
8525
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
8526
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
8528
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
8535
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
8536
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
8539
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
8540
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
8542
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
8543
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
8545
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
8546
under a different version.
8548
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
8554
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
8556
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
8557
Scott James Remnant.
8559
* Better help messages for many commands.
8561
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
8562
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
8564
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
8565
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
8567
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
8569
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
8571
* New AtomicFile class.
8573
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
8579
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
