.. 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
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log
83
-m``. (Anne Mohsen, Martin Pool)
85
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
86
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
87
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
89
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
90
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
92
* Fixed "Specified file 'x/y/z' is outside current view: " occurring
93
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in WorkingTree5 formats (e.g. ``development-wt5``)
94
when no view is defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
96
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
97
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
98
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
99
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
101
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
103
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
104
(Vincent Ladeuil, #345593)
106
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
107
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
108
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
109
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
110
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
112
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
113
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
116
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
117
(James Westby, #341558)
122
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
124
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.
125
(James Westby, #336998)
130
* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous verisons of bzr are now removed.
133
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
134
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
135
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
137
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
138
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
139
Meinel, Robert Collins)
141
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
142
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
143
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
144
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
147
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
148
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
151
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
157
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
158
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
159
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
160
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
161
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
163
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
164
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
166
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
167
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
168
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
169
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
175
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
176
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
177
dependency. (Robert Collins)
179
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
180
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
181
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
183
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
184
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
187
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
188
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
189
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
191
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
192
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
194
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
195
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
196
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
198
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
199
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
200
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
202
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
203
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
206
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
207
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
208
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
210
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
211
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
212
regardless of ``InterRepository``.
213
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
218
:Codename: paraskavedekatriaphobia
223
GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``. Debug
224
flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``. Lightweight checkouts and
225
stacked branches should both be much faster over remote connections.
227
Changes From 1.13 to 1.13.1
228
***************************
229
A couple regessions where found in the 1.13 release. The pyrex-generated C
230
extensions are missing from the .tar.gz and .zip files. Documentation on how
231
to generate GNU ChangeLogs is wrong.
236
* Change ``./bzr``'s ``_script_version`` to match ./bzrlib/__init__.py
237
version_info. (Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, #345232)
239
* Distribution archives for 1.13 do not contain generated C extension modules
240
(Jean-Francois Roy, Bob Tanner, #344465)
242
* GNU ChangeLog output can now be produced by bzr log --format gnu-changelog is
243
incorrect (Deejay, Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #343928)
245
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
247
Changes From RC1 to Final
248
*************************
250
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
251
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
252
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
254
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
255
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
260
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
261
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
262
command may need to be adjusted.
263
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
268
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
269
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
270
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
272
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
275
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
276
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
277
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
280
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
281
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
283
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
286
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
287
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
289
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernoij)
291
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
292
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
295
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
301
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
302
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
303
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
304
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
305
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
306
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
307
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
308
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
311
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
312
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
314
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
315
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
316
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
318
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
319
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
321
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
322
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
323
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
326
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
327
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
328
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
330
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
331
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
332
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
333
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
335
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
338
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
339
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
341
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
342
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
344
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
345
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
346
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
348
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
353
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
354
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
356
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
357
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
358
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
360
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
361
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
362
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
364
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
365
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
367
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
368
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
371
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
372
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
373
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
375
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
376
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
378
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
379
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
381
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
382
(James Westby, #174539)
384
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
385
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
387
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
388
error branching from old repositories.
389
(Martin Pool, #321695)
391
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
392
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
394
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
395
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
396
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
397
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
399
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
400
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko)
402
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
403
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
405
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
406
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
408
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
409
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
410
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
412
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
413
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
415
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.
416
(Benoît Pierre, Aaron Bentley)
421
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
422
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
423
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
426
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
427
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
429
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.
430
(Daniel Watkins, #327421, #327425)
435
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
436
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
437
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
438
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
439
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
441
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
442
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
444
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
445
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
446
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
447
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
448
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
449
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
451
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
452
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
454
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
455
"author" argument being deprecated.
457
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
459
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
460
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
461
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
462
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
464
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
465
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
466
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
468
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
469
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
470
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
472
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
473
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
475
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
476
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
477
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
478
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
483
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
484
free of virtual file system methods.
485
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
487
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
488
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
489
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
491
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
492
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
493
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
494
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
495
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
496
(Robert Collins, #334187)
498
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
500
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
501
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
503
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
504
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
505
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
506
stream the operation.
507
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
509
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
510
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
512
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
513
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
514
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
515
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
516
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
518
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
519
branch object. (Robert Collins)
521
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
522
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
523
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
525
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
526
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
529
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
532
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
533
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
534
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
536
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
537
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
538
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
540
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
541
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
542
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
544
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
545
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
546
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
548
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
549
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
550
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
551
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
552
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
554
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
555
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
556
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
557
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
558
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
559
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
561
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
562
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
563
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
564
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
565
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
567
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
568
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
570
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
571
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
573
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
574
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
575
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
576
to access private data in record to obtain content more
577
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
579
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
580
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.
587
:Codename: 1234567890
591
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
592
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
593
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
594
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
595
by showing the rate of network IO.
597
Changes from RC1 to Final
598
*************************
600
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
601
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
603
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
604
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
609
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
610
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
611
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
612
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
614
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
615
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
616
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
619
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
620
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
621
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
622
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
624
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
625
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
626
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
629
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
634
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
635
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
636
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
639
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
640
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
641
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
643
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
644
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
645
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
646
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
647
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
648
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
649
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
650
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
651
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
657
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
660
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
663
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
664
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
665
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
667
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
668
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
669
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
670
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
671
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
673
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
674
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
676
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
677
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
678
level for better precision.
681
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
682
rules. (Marius Kruger)
684
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
685
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
686
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
688
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
689
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
690
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
693
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
694
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
695
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
700
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
702
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
704
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
705
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
706
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
708
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
709
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
710
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
711
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
712
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
713
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
715
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
716
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
718
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
719
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
721
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
722
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
723
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
725
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
726
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
727
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
730
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
731
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
733
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
734
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
735
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
736
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
738
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
739
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
741
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
743
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)
748
* Improved plugin developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
753
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
754
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
757
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
758
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
760
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
761
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
763
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
764
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
766
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
767
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
768
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
769
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
771
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
772
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
773
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
778
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
779
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
780
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
781
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
782
compile buffers, are such an example).
785
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
786
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
789
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
790
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
791
efficient way of doing the mapping.
794
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
795
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
797
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
798
formatters to retrict the output.

##############################
805
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
806
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
807
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
808
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
809
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
811
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
812
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
815
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
816
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.
821
* Fix failing test when CompiledChunksToLines is not available.
824
* Stacked branches don't repeatedly open their transport connection.
829
bzr 1.11rc1 "Eyes up!" 2009-01-09
830
#################################
835
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
836
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
841
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
842
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
844
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
845
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
846
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
847
implement other plugins.
850
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
856
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
857
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
859
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
860
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
862
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
863
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
864
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
865
processes which drag in shell extensions.
868
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
869
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
870
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
871
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
872
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
874
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
875
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
876
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
877
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
878
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
883
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
884
control directory. (#139691)
886
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
887
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
889
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
890
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
892
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
893
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
894
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
896
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
897
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
899
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
900
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
901
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
903
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
904
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
906
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
909
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
910
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
911
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
913
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
914
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
916
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
917
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
918
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
920
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
921
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
922
in the appropriate sections.
923
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
925
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
926
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
929
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
930
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
932
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
933
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
935
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
936
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
938
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
939
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
940
work better with how it splits its requests.
941
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
943
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
944
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
945
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
947
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
950
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
952
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
953
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
955
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
961
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
962
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
963
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
969
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
970
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
971
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
972
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
974
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
975
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
977
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
978
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
979
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
980
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
982
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
983
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
984
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
985
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
990
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
991
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
992
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
994
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
995
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
996
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
997
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
999
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
1000
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
1001
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
1007
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
1008
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
1009
(John Arbash Meinel)
1011
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
1012
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
1013
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
1014
(John Arbash Meinel)
1016
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
1017
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
1018
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
1019
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
1021
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
1022
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
1023
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
1025
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
1026
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
1027
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
1028
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
1030
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
1031
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
1032
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
1033
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
1034
(John Arbash Meinel)
1036
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
1037
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
1039
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
1040
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
1041
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
1043
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
1044
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
1045
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
1046
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
1048
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
1049
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
1050
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
1051
(John Arbash Meinel)
1053
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
1054
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
1055
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
1056
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
1057
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
1058
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
1059
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1061
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
1062
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)
1069
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
1070
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
1071
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
1072
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
1075
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
1080
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
1081
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
1082
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
1083
(Martin Pool, #303856)
1085
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
1086
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
1087
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
1088
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
1089
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)
1092
bzr 1.10rc1 2008-11-28
1093
######################
1095
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
1096
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
1097
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
1098
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
1099
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
1104
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
1105
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1107
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
1113
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
1114
history just to set the last revision info.
1115
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1117
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
1118
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
1119
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
1120
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1122
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
1123
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
1124
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
1125
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
1126
(John Arbash Meinel)
1128
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
1129
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1131
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
1132
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
1133
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
1134
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
1135
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
1137
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
1138
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
1139
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
1140
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
1145
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
1146
(Martin Pool, #289148)
1148
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
1149
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
1151
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
1152
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
1153
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
1154
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
1156
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
1157
starting with a dotted revno.
1158
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
1160
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
1161
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
1162
(Martin Pool, #288751)
1164
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
1165
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
1166
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
1168
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
1169
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
1170
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
1172
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
1173
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
1174
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
1175
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
1177
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
1178
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
1179
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
1181
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
1182
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
1187
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
1188
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
1189
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
1190
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
1192
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
1193
have changed incompatibly.
1195
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
1196
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
1197
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
1198
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
1199
don't need to change.
1201
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
1202
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
1207
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
1208
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
1210
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
1216
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
1217
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
1218
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
1219
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
1220
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
1221
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
1226
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
1227
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
1229
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
1231
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
1232
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.

#####################
1242
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
1243
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
1245
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
1246
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
1247
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
1248
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
1253
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
1254
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
1255
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
1256
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
1257
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
1258
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
1260
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
1261
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1263
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
1264
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
1265
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
1267
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
1268
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
1269
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
1272
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
1273
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
1275
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
1276
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
1278
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
1279
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
1281
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
1282
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
1283
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
1284
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
1285
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
1286
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
1287
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
1288
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
1289
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
1290
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
1295
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
1296
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
1298
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
1299
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
1301
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
1302
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
1303
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
1305
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
1306
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
1307
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
1309
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
1310
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
1311
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
1313
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
1314
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
1315
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
1316
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
1317
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
1318
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
1320
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
1321
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
1323
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
1324
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
1326
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
1327
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
1328
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
1329
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
1330
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
1332
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
1333
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
1334
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
1335
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
1340
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
1345
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
1350
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
1351
configuration of authetication credentials.
1357
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
1358
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
1359
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
1360
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
1361
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
1366
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
1367
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
1372
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
1373
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
1376
bzr 1.8rc1 2008-10-07
1377
#####################
1382
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
1383
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
1384
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
1385
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
1386
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
1388
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
1389
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
1391
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
1392
server. (Marius Kruger)
1394
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
1395
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
1396
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
1397
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
1398
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
1399
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
1404
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
1405
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
1406
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
1408
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
1413
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
1414
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
1415
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
1416
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
1418
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
1419
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
1422
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
1423
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
1426
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
1429
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
1431
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
1432
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
1434
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
1435
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
1437
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
1438
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
1439
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
1440
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
1441
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
1442
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
1443
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
1444
operations. (Robert Collins)
1446
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
1448
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
1449
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
1450
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
1455
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
1456
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
1457
(Martin Pool, #279381)
1459
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
1460
repository now preserves the repository format.
1461
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
1463
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
1464
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
1466
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
1467
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
1469
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
1471
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
1473
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
1476
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
1477
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
1478
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
1480
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
1481
is in a different repository than the current one.
1482
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
1484
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
1485
(David Futcher, #242106)
1487
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
1488
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1490
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
1491
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
1492
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
1493
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
1495
* Trivial documentation fix.
1496
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
1498
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
1499
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
1500
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
1501
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
1506
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
1511
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
1512
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
1513
to use. (Robert Collins)
1515
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
1516
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
1517
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
1519
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
1520
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
1521
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
1522
they want. (Robert Collins)
1527
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
1528
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
1529
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
1531
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
1532
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
1535
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
1538
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
1539
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
1541
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
1547
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
1548
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
1550
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
1551
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
1552
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
1554
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
1555
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
1556
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
1558
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
1559
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1561
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
1562
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
1564
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
1565
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
1567
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
1568
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
1569
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
1570
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept

This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
1585
file paths when we encounter complex history.
1590
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
1591
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
1592
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
1593
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.

1600
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
1601
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
1602
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
1603
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
1604
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
1605
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.

#####################
1643
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
1644
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
1645
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
1646
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
1647
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
1648

1654
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
1657
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
1658
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
1659
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
1661
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
1662
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
1663
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
1668
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
1669
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
1671
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
1676
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
1677
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
1680
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
1681
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
1683
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
1684
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
1687
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
1688
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
1689
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
1690
(John Arbash Meinel)
1692
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
1693
(Martin Pool, #261315)
1695
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
1696
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
1697
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
1698
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
1699
(John Arbash Meinel)
1701
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
1702
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
1703
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
1704
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
1705
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
1706
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
1707
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
1708
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
1709
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
1710
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1715
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
1716
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
1718
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
1719
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
1720
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
1722
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
1723
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
1724
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
1726
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
1727
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
1728
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
1729
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
1730
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
1731
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
1733
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
1734
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
1736
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
1737
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
1739
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
1740
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
1741
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
1742
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
1743
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
1744
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
1746
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
1747
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
1749
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
1750
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
1752
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
1753
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
1754
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
1755
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
1757
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
1758
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
1760
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
1761
assuming the host name is ascii.

field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
1779
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
1782
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
1783
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1785
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
1786
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
1788
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
1789
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
1794
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
1795
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
1796
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
1797
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
1799
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
1803
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
1804
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
1805
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1807
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
1813
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
1814
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
1817
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
1818
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
1819
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
1820
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
1821
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1823
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
1824
is unknown in both source and target.
1825
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
1827
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
1828
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
1829
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
1830
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1832
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
1833
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
1834
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
1835
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

####################
1841
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
1842
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
1843
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
1846
bzr 1.6.1rc2 2008-09-03
1847
#######################
1852
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
1853
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
1854
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
1855
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
1858
bzr 1.6.1rc1 2008-08-29
1859
#######################
1861
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
1862
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
1863
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
1864
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
1865
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
1866
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
1867
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
1868
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
1869
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
1870
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
1871
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
1872
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
1877
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
1878
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
1879
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
1880
start of the string (causing more copies).
1881
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
1882
especially for projects with large files.
1883
(John Arbash Meinel)
1885
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
1886
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
1887
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
1888
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
1889
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
1891
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
1892
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
1893
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
1894
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
1895
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.
1896
(John Arbash Meinel, #262333)
1902
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
1903
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
1904
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
1905
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
1906
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
1907
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
1908
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
1909
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
1910
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
1913
bzr 1.6rc5 2008-08-19
1914
#####################
1919
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
1920
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
1921
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
1922
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
1923
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
1926
bzr 1.6rc4 2008-08-18
1927
#####################
1932
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
1933
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
1934
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
1937
bzr 1.6rc3 2008-08-14
1938
#####################
1943
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
1944
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
1950
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
1951
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
1952
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
1958
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
1959
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
1960
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
1962
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
1963
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
1964
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
1965
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
1966
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
1967
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
1968
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
1971
bzr 1.6rc2 2008-08-13
1972
#####################
1974
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
1980
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
1981
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
1983
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
1984
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
1987
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
1988
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
1989
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
1990
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
1991
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
1993
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
1994
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1996
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
1997
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
1999
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
2000
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
2002
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
2003
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
2004
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
2005
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
2006
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
2007
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
2010
bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
2011
#####################
2013
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
2014
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
2015
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
2016
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
2017
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
2022
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
2023
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
2024
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
2029
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
2030
check. (Daniel Watkins)
2032
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
2033
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
2035
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
2036
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
2037
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2039
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
2042
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
2043
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
2044
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
2045
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
2046
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
2047
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
2048
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2050
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
2051
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
2052
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
2057
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
2058
physical repository boundaries.
2059
(Martin Pool, #252428)
2061
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
2062
(Martin Pool, #206258)
2064
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
2065
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
2068
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
2071
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
2072
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
2073
that Python is running from.
2074
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
2076
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
2077
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
2078
(Robert Collins, #150438)
2080
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
2081
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
2083
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
2084
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
2085
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
2087
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
2088
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
2090
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
2091
(James Westby, #248448)
2096
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
2097
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
2098
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
2101
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
2102
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
2105
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
2106
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
2107
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
2108
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
2109
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
2110
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
2113
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
2114
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2116
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
2117
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
2118
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
2119
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
2120
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
2121
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
2126
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
2127
putting together a real history without having to create a full
2128
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
2129
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
2130
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
2131
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2133
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
2134
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
2135
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
2137
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
2140
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
2141
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
2143
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.

#######################
2150
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
2151
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
2152
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
2153
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
2159
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
2160
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
2161
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
2163
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
2164
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
2165
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
2166
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
2167
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
2170
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
2172
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
2173
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
2174
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
2180
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
2181
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
2184
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
2185
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
2186
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
2187
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
2189
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
2190
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
2191
(Christophe Troestler)
2193
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
2194
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
2196
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
2197
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
2198
faster. The new request method name is
2199
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2204
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
2205
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
2206
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
2207
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
2208
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
2210
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
2211
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
2213
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
2214
requires a branch to be present.
2215
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
2217
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
2219
(Martin Pool, #205230)
2221
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
2222
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
2223
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
2224
(Martin Pool, #240161)
2226
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
2227
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
2229
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
2231
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
2233
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
2234
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
2235
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
2236
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
2237
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
2239
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
2240
(Martin Pool, #172870)
2242
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
2243
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
2245
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
2247
(Matt McClure, #209281)
2249
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
2250
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
2252
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
2253
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
2258
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
2261
* Updated developer documentation.
2267
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
2268
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
2270
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
2271
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
2272
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
2273
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
2278
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
2279
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
2280
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
2281
Repository docstring for more details.
2284
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
2285
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
2286
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
2288
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
2289
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
2292
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
2293
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
2294
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
2295
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
2300
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
2301
(Alexander Belchenko)
2303
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
2304
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
2305
containing a given location.
2308
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
2309
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
2310
storage. (Robert Collins)
2312
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
2315
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
2316
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.

This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
2324

repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
2331
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
2332
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
2333
reading from the repository.)
2334
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
2336
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
2337
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
2339
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
2340
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
2343
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
2344
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
2345
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
2347
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
2348
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
2349
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
2351
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
2352
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
2354
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
2355
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
2356
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
2357
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
2362
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
2364
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
2365
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
2366
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
2369
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
2370
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
2375
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2380
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
2381
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
2386
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
2387
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
2388
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
2389
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
2390
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
2392
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
2393
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
2398
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
2399
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
2401
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
2402
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)

2409
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
2410
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
2411
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
2412
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
2413
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
2414
and future extensions.
2417
Notes When Upgrading
2418
********************
2420
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
2421
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
2422
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
2423
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
2424
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
2425
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
2426
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
2427
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
2432
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
2433
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
2434
(John Arbash Meinel)
2439
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
2440
load. (James Westby)
2445
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
2446
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
2447
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
2448
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2450
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
2451
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
2452
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
2454
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
2455
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
2457
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
2458
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
2459
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
2461
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
2462
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
2463
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
2464
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
2465
step closer to not using full revision history.
2466
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
2471
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
2472
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
2474
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
2475
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
2477
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
2478
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
2480
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
2481
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
2482
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
2483
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
2485
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
2486
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
2487
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
2488
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
2490
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
2491
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
2492
in use by another process.
2495
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
2496
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
2497
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
2498
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
2500
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
2501
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
2503
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
2504
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
2505
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
2507
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
2508
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
2509
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
2511
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
2513
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
2515
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
2516
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
2518
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
2519
under vim on Mac OS X.
2520
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2522
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
2523
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
2528
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
2529
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
2531
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
2532
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
2535
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
2536
and about use of Python reprs.
2537
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
2539
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
2544
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
2547
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
2548
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
2550
* New helper function for splitting test suites
2551
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
2556
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
2557
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
2558
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
2559
(John Arbash Meinel)
2564
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
2565
instead. (Martin Pool)
2567
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
2568
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
2569
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
2570
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
2572
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
2573
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
2574
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
2575
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
2576
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
2578
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
2579
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
2580
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
2581
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
2582
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
2583
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
2585
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
2586
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
2589
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
2590
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
2593
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
2594
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
2595
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
2596
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
2598
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
2599
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
2600
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
2602
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
2603
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
2604
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
2605
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
2606
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
2609
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
2610
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
2611
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
2612
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
2615
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
2616
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
2617
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
2618
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
2619
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
2621
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
2628
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
2629
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
2630
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
2635
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
2636
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
2637
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
2642
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
2643
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
2647

#####################
2653
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
2654
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
2655
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
2656
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
2661
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
2662
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
2664
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
2665
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
2667
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
2673
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
2674
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
2676
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
2677
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
2679
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
2680
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
2681
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
2683
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
2684
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
2685
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
2687
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
2690
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
2691
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
2693
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
2694
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
2696
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
2697
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
2699
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
2700
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
2702
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
2703
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
2704
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
2706
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
2707
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
2709
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
2710
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
2712
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
2713
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
2714
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
2715
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
2717
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
2718
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
2721
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
2722
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
2723
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
2725
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
2726
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
2727
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
2728
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
2729
every revision each side had in common.
2730
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2732
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
2733
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
2735
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
2736
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
2737
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
2738
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
2743
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
2744
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
2745
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
2746
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
2748
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
2750
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
2752
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
2753
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
2758
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
2759
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
2760
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
2762
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
2763
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
2764
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
2765
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
2767
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
2768
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2770
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
2771
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
2772
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
2773
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2775
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
2776
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
2777
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
2778
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2783
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
2784
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
2785
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
2787
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
2789
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
2790
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
2792
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
2793
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2795
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
2796
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
2801
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
2802
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
2803
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
2805
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
2806
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
2807
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
2810
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
2811
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
2814
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.
2821
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
2822
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
2823
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
2824
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
2825
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
2826
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
2827
and faster performance.
2832
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
2833
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
2834
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
2870
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
2871
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
2873
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
2874
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
2875
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
2877
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
2878
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
2879
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
2880
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
2881
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
2882
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
2885
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
2886
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
2887
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
2888
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
2893
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
2895
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
2896
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
2897
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
2899
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
2900
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
2901
See the User Reference for signature details.
2902
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
2904
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
2905
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
2910
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
2911
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
2912
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
2913
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2915
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
2916
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
2918
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
2919
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
2920
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
2923
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
2926
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
2927
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
2928
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
2930
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
2933
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
2934
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
2936
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
2937
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
2939
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
2940
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
2941
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
2943
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
2944
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
2945
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
2946
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
2947
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
2949
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
2950
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)

* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
2953
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2958
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
2959
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
2960
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
2961
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
2962
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
2963
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
2965
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
2966
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
2968
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
2969
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
2970
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
2972
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
2973
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
2975
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
2976
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
2977
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
2978
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2980
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
2981
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
2982
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
2983
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
2984
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
2986
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
2988
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
2989
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
2991
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
2993
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
2994
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
2996
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
2997
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
3002
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
3004
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
3006
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
3008
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
3013
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
3014
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
3015
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
3017
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
3018
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
3019
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
3020
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
3022
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
3023
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
3024
release. (James Westby)
3026
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
3029
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
3031
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
3032
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
3034
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
3035
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
3037
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
3038
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
3040
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
3041
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
3042
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
3044
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
3045
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
3046
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
3047
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
3049
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
3050
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
3051
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
3052
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
3054
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
3055
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
3056
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
3057
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
3058
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
3059
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
3061
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
3062
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
3063
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
3065
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
3066
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
3068
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
3069
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
3072
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
3073
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
3075
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
3076
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
3078
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
3079
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
3081
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
3082
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
3083
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
3085
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
3086
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
3087
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
3088
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
3089
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
3090
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
3095
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
3096
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
3097
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
3098
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
3100
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
3101
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
3102
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
3103
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
3107
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
3108
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
3111
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
3112
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
3114
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
3116
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
3117
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
3118
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
3123
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3125
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
3128
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
3129
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
3130
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
3131
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
3132
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
3133
(Martin Pool, #109520)
3135
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
3136
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
3138
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
3139
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
3140
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
3141
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
3143
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
3144
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
3146
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
3147
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
3189
********************
3191
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
3192
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
3197
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
3198
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
3199
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
3200
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
3203
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
3204
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
3205
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
3206
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
3207
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
3208
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
3210
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
3211
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
3212
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
3213
(Alexander Belchenko)
3215
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
3217
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
3218
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
3223
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
3224
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
3226
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
3227
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
3233
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
3235
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3237
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
3238
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
3239
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
3241
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
3242
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
3244
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
3245
to. (Daniel Watkins)
3247
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
3248
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
3249
(Alexander Belchenko)
3251
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
3252
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
3253
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
3254
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
3256
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
3259
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
3260
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
3261
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
3262
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
3263
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
3268
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
3269
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
3270
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
3271
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
3273
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
3274
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
3276
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
3277
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
3279
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
3280
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
3281
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
3283
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
3284
(#198793, John Ferlito)
3286
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
3289
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
3290
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
3292
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
3294
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
3296
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
3297
symlinks (James Henstridge)
3299
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
3300
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
3302
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
3303
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
3305
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
3306
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
3308
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
3309
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
3311
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
3312
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
3317
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
3318
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
3323
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
3324
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
3325
(Alexander Belchenko)
3330
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
3332
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
3333
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
3339
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
3340
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
3341
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
3343
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
3344
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
3345
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
3346
(Alexander Belchenko)
3348
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
3349
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
3350
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
3351
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
3353
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
3354
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
3355
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
3358
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
3359
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
3360
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
3362
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
3363
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
3364
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
3366
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
3367
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
3368
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
3369
format. (Robert Collins)
3378
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)

3384
Notes When Upgrading
3385
********************
3387
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
3388
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
3389
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
3390
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
3391
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
3397
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
3398
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
3400
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
3401
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
3402
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
3404
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
3405
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
3406
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
3407
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
3408
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
3409
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
3415
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
3416
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3418
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
3419
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
3420
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
3423
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
3424
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
3425
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
3426
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
3427
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
3429
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
3430
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
3431
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
3432
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
3433
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
3434
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
3435
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
3436
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
3441
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
3442
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
3444
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
3445
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
3447
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
3448
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3450
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
3451
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
3452
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
3454
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
3455
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
3456
(John Arbash Meinel)
3461
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
3462
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
3464
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
3465
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
3467
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
3468
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
3470
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
3471
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
3472
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
3474
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
3475
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
3476
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
3478
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
3479
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
3481
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
3482
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
3483
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
3484
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
3485
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
3487
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
3489
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
3490
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
3493
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
3494
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
3496
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
3497
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
3499
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
3500
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
3502
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
3503
more characters which should be considered valid.
3504
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
3506
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
3507
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
3509
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
3510
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
3515
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
3516
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
3518
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
3519
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
3525
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
3526
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
3532
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
3533
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
3534
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
3536
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
3537
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
3538
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
3540
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
3541
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
3542
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
3543
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
3545
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
3547
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
3548
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
3549
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
3550
server. (Robert Collins)
3552
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
3553
operate. (Robert Collins)
3555
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
3556
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
3557
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
3559
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
3560
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
3561
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
3562
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
3564
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
3565
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
3567
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
3568
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
3569
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
3571
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
3572
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
3574
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
3575
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
3577
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
3578
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
3579
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
3580
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
3595
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
3596
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
3597
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
3599
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
3600
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
3601
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
3602
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
3607
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
3610
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
3613
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
3614
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
3619
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
3622
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
3623

3624
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
3626
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
3628
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
3629
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
3630
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
3631
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
3632
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
3634
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
3635
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
3636
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
3638
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
3639
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
3641
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.

* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
3646
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
3648
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
3651

3652
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
3657
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.

3666
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
3667
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
3669
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
3670
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)

* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
3673
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3675
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
3676
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)

* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
3679
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.

3685
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
3686
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
3689
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
3691
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
3692
user:pass embedded in the urls.

* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
3705
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
3707
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
3710
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
3711
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
3714
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
3715
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
3716
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
3721
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
3724
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
3725
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
3726
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
3727
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
3728
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
3729
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)

* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
3744
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
3745
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
3746
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
3749
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
3750
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3752
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
3761
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
3762
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
3763
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
3765
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
3766
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
3769
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
3770
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)

* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
3773
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)

regular expression. (Robert Collins)
3782
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
3783
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
3785
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
3786
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
3788
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
3789
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
3792
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
3793
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)

3889
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the

Notes When Upgrading
3938
********************
3940
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
3941
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
3942
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
3943
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
3945
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
3946
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
3948
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
3949
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
3951
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
3952
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
3953
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
3954
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
3955
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
3956
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
3957
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
3958
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
3959
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
3960
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
3961
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
3962
from any tree without problems.
3963
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
3968
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
3969
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
3970
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
3972
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
3973
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
3979
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
3980
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
3981
supported transports.
3984
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
3985
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
3986
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
3988
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
3989
(Robert Collins, #154173)
3991
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
3992
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
3993
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
3994
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
3996
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
3997
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
4002
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
4003
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
4004
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
4005
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4007
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
4008
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
4009
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
4010
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
4012
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
4013
(Robert Collins, #88319)
4015
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
4016
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
4018
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
4019
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
4021
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
4022
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
4028
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
4031
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
4032
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
4035
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
4036
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
4037
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
4038
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
4040
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
4041
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
4042
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
4043
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
4051
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
4052
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
4054
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
4055
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
4057
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
4058
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
4060
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
4061
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
4063
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.

* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
4075
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
4076
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
4078
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
4079
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
4080

4082
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
4083

4085
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
4086
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
4088
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have

* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
4092
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
4094
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
4095
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
4096
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
4097
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
4099
(Martin Pool, #164637)
4101
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
4102
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
4103

4105
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.

* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
4138
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)

4153
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
4154
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
4156
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
4157
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
4158
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
4159

* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
4165
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
4166
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
4168
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
4169
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
4171
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
4172
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
4174
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
4175
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
4180
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
4181
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
4183
* The return value of
4184
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
4185
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
4186
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
4187
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
4189
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
4192
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
4193
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
4200
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
4201
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
4202
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
4205
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
4206
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
4208
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
4217
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)

4226
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
4227
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
4229
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
4230
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
4231
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
4232
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
4233
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
4234
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
4235
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
4236
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
4237
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
4238
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
4239
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
4240
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
4246
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
4247
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
4248
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
4249
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
4250
commands. (Robert Collins)
4252
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
4253
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
4254
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
4257
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
4259
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
4260
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
4262
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
4263
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
4266
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
4267
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
4268
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
4273
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
4274
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
4276
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
4277
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
4279
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
4280
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
4281
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
4282
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
4284
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
4287
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
4288
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
4289
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
4290
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
4292
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
4293
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
4295
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
4296
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
4298
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
4299
the contents. (Robert Collins)
4301
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
4302
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
4307
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
4308
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
4310
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
4311
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
4313
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
4314
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
4316
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
4317
(Martin Pool, #63894)
4319
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
4320
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
4325
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
4327
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
4333
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
4334
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
4335
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
4337
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
4338
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
4340
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
4341
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
4343
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
4344
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
4345
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
4346
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
4348
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
4349
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
4350
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
4351
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
4352
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
4354
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
4355
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
4357
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
4359
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
4361
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
4362
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
4364
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
4365
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
4367
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
4368
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
4370
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
4371
contains a symbolic link.
4372
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
4374
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
4375
(James Westby, #140615)
4377
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
4378
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
4379
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
4381
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
4382
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
4383
(Martin Pool, #144633)
4385
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4387
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
4388
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
4390
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
4392
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
4394
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
4395
directory to detect leaking tests.
4396
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
4398
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
4399
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
4400
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
4402
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
4405
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
4406
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
4408
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
4414
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
4415
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
4417
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
4418
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
4419
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
4421
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
4422
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
4423
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
4425
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
4426
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
4428
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
4429
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
4431
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
4432
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
4435
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
4436
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
4438
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
4439
class that needs it.
4442
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
4443
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
4445
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
4446
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
4447
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
4449
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
4450
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
4451
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
4454
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
4455
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
4456
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
4457
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
4463
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
4464
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
4465
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
4467
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
4468
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
4469
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
4470
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
4472
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
4473
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
4476
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
4477
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
4478
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
4480
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
4481
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
4482
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
4484
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
4485
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
4487
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
4488
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
4489
to complete. (Robert Collins)
4491
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
4492
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
4494
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
4495
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
4496
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
4498
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
4499
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
4500
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
4502
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
4503
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
4504
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
4505
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
4507
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
4508
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
4509
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
4510
returned. (Robert Collins)
4512
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
4513
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
4515
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
4516
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
4517
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
4518
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
4521
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
4522
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
4527
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
4528
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
4530
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
4531
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
4532
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
4533
makes this behavior available to other users.
4536
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
4537
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
4546
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
4547
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
4548
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
4550
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
4552
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
4553
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
4554
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
4555
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
4557
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
4558
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
4562
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
4563
######################
4565
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
4566
in bzrlib/remote.py.
4569
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
4570
######################
4575
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
4576
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
4577
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
4578
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
4581
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
4582
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
4583
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
4589
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
4590
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
4591
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
4594
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
4595
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
4596
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
4598
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
4599
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
4600
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
4602
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
4603
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
4605
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
4606
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
4607
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
4608
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
4609
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
4610
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
4611
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
4612
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
4613
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
4614
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
4616
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
4617
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
4619
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
4620
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
4621
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
4626
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
4627
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
4629
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
4630
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
4631
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
4633
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
4634
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
4636
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
4637
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
4639
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
4642
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
4643
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
4645
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
4646
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
4648
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
4649
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4651
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
4652
(Blake Winton, #129299)
4654
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
4656
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
4659
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
4660
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
4661
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
4662
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
4664
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4666
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
4667
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
4670
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
4671
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
4673
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
4674
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
4677
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
4678
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
4680
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
4681
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
4683
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
4684
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
4685
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
4686
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
4687
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
4688
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
4689
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
4691
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
4692
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
4694
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
4695
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
4697
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
4698
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
4700
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
4701
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
4703
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
4705
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
4707
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
4708
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
4710
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
4711
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
4712
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
4714
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
4715
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
4716
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
4721
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
4722
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4724
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
4727
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
4730
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
4731
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
4733
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
4735
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.

(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
4738
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
4739
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
4741
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
4742
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
4743
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
4744
space). (Robert Collins)
4746
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
4747
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
4750
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
4751
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4753
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
4754
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
4756
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
4757
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
4758
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
4759
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
4761
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
4762
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
4763
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
4766
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
4769
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
4770
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
4771
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
4773
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
4774
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
4775
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
4776
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
4777
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
4782
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
4783
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
4785
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
4786
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
4787
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
4788
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
4789
affected. (Robert Collins)
4791
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
4792
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
4793
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
4796
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
4797
previous release. (Martin Pool)
4802
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
4803
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
4805
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
4806
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4808
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
4809
previous release. (Martin Pool)
4811
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
4814
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
4815
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4820
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
4821
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
4822
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
4823
its version information. (Robert Collins)
4825
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
4826
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4828
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
4829
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
4830
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
4831
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4833
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
4834
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
4835
present. (Robert Collins)
4837
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
4838
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
4839
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
4840
API. (Robert Collins)
4842
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
4843
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
4846
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
4847
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
4849
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
4850
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
4851
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
4852
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
4853
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
4854
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
4856
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
4857
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
4858
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
4860
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
4861
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
4862
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
4863
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
4866
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
4869
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
4870
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
4871
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
4872
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
4873
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
4874
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
4875
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
4877
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
4878
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
4879
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
4880
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
4882
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
4883
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
4884
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
4885
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
4886
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
4887
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
4889
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
4890
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
4891
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
4893
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
4894
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
4903
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
4904
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
4905
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
4906
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
4907
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
4908
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
4909
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
4910
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
4916
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
4917
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
4918
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
4921

4927
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
4928
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
4929
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
4930
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.

* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).

4936
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
4938
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
4940
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
4941
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
4944
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
4945
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
4948
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
4951
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
4952
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
4954
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
4955
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
4957
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
4958
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
4960
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
4961
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
4963
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
4964
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
4966
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
4972
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
4973
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
4975
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
4976
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
4978
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
4979
the repository (Robert Collins)
4981
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
4982
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
4983
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
4984
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
4985
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
4987
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
4988
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
4990
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
4991
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
4992
(John Arbash Meinel)
4994
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
4995
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
4996
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
4998
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
4999
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
5000
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
5001
(John Arbash Meinel)
5003
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
5004
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
5007
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
5008
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
5010
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
5013
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
5015
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
5017
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
5018
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
5020
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
5021
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
5024
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
5025
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
5026
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
5027
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
5029
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
5030
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
5031
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
5033
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
5034
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
5035
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
5037
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
5038
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
5040
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
5041
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
5042
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
5043
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
5044
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
5045
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
5048
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
5049
(Alexander Belchenko)
5051
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
5052
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
5054
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
5055
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
5057
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
5059
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
5060
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
5065
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
5066
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
5067
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
5068
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
5070
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
5072
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
5075
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
5076
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
5077
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
5078
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
5079
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
5080
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
5085
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
5086
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
5087
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
5088
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
5090
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
5091
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
5092
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
5093
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
5094
tests have been refactored too.
5097
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
5098
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
5099
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
5103
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
5104
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
5105
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
5107
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
5108
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
5109
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
5110
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
5111
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
5112
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
5113
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
5115
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
5116
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
5117
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
5118
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
5119
(John Arbash Meinel)
5121
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
5122
functionality for testing.
5124
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
5126
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
5127
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
5129
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
5131
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
5134
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
5135
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
5137
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
5138
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
5139
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
5141
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
5144
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
5145
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
5147
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
5148
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
5149
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
5150
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
5152
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
5153
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
5155
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
5156
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
5157
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
5159
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
5162
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
5163
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
5164
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
5165
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
5166
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
5167
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
5169
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
5170
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
5171
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
5172
many files. (Robert Collins)
5174
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
5175
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
5176
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
5177
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
5182
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
5183
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
5184
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
5186
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
5187
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
5189
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
5190
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
5191
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

5259
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the

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

* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
5281
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
5282
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
5283
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m

* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
5286
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
5287
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.

* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
5309
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
5311
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
5312
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
5314
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
5315
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
5317
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
5319
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
5320
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
5322
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
5328
* Testing cleanups -
5329
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
5330
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
5331
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
5332
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
5333
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
5334
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
5335
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
5336
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
5337
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
5338
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
5339
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
5340
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
5341
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
5342
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
5343
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
5344
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
5345
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
5348
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
5350
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
5351
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
5352
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
5354
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
5355
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
5357
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
5358
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5360
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
5362
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
5363
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
5364
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
5365
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
5366
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
5367
same location. (Robert Collins)
5372
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
5374
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
5376
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
5378
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
5381
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
5384
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
5385
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
5386
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
5388
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
5390
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
5391
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
5392
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
5394
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
5395
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
5397
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
5398
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
5399
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
5401
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
5402
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
5403
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
5405
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
5406
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
5407
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
5409
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
5410
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
5413
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
5414
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
5416
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
5417
(Alexander Belchenko)
5422
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
5423
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
5424
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
5425
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
5427
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
5428
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
5429
testing. (Robert Collins)
5431
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
5432
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
5434
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
5435
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
5436
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
5437
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
5438
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
5439
attribute during the test parameterisation in
5440
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
5442
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
5443
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
5444
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
5445
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
5447
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
5448
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
5450
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
5451
avoid useless cloning.

Notes When Upgrading
5472
********************
5474
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
5475
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
5476
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
5477
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
5478
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
5479
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
5480
and unlock() like so::
5482
work_tree.lock_read()
5484
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
5490
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
5491
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
5493
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
5494
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
5495
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
5497
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
5498
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
5499
too. (Robert Collins)
5504
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
5505
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
5508
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
5509
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
5511
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
5512
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
5514
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
5515
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
5516
understanding what changes have occurred
5517
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
5519
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
5520
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
5521
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
5523
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
5524
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
5525
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
5526
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
5528
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
5534
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
5535
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
5536
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
5537
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
5538
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
5540
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
5541
based on split paths, not just string paths.
5542
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
5544
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
5545
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
5547
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
5549
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
5551
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
5552
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
5554
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
5555
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
5557
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
5558
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
5560
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
5561
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
5563
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
5564
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
5566
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
5567
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
5568
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
5571
####################
5576
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
5577
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
5578
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
5579
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
5580
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
5582
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
5583
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
5584
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
5586
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
5587
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
5592
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
5593
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
5594
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
5596
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
5597
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
5598
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
5599
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
5601
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30

5607
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
5608
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
5609
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
5610
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
5612
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
5613
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
5614
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
5616
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
5617
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
5619
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
5620
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
5622
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
5623
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

Notes When Upgrading
5629
********************
5631
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
5632
it could be recovered again.
5633
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
5634
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
5635
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
5637
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
5639
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
5640
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
5645
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
5646
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
5648
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
5649
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
5650
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
5651
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
5653
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
5654
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
5656
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
5657
tests with names that match that regular expression.
5658
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
5660
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
5661
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
5662
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
5664
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
5665
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
5666
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
5668
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
5669
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
5672
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
5675
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
5676
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
5677
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
5678
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
5680
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
5683
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
5684
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
5685
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
5688
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
5689
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
5691
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
5692
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
5694
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
5695
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
5696
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
5697
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
5700
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
5701
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
5703
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
5704
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
5706
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
5707
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
5708
(Robert Collins, #107125).
5710
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
5711
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
5712
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
5714
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
5715
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
5716
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5718
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
5719
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
5720
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
5721
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
5723
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
5724
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
5725
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
5726
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
5728
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
5729
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
5730
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
5731
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
5732
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
5733
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
5734
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
5735
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
5742
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
5743
code paths. (Robert Collins)
5745
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
5746
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
5747
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
5748
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
5749
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5751
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
5752
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
5754
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
5755
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
5757
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
5758
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
5760
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
5761
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
5763
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
5764
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
5765
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
5768
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
5769
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
5770
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
5771
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
5772
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
5775
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
5776
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
5777
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
5779
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
5780
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
5783
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
5784
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
5785
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
5788
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
5789
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
5790
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
5791
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
5792
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
5794
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
5795
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
5796
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
5797
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5799
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
5800
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
5802
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
5803
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
5804
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
5805
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
5806
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
5807
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
5809
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
5810
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
5812
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
5813
help. (Robert Collins)
5815
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
5816
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
5818
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
5819
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
5820
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
5821
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
5822
(John Arbash Meinel)
5824
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
5825
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
5826
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
5827
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
5828
useful. (Robert Collins)
5830
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
5836
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
5837
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
5839
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
5840
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
5842
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
5843
properly and is no longer beneficial.
5844
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
5846
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
5849
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
5850
the file, and does it faster.
5851
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
5853
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
5854
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
5855
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
5857
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
5858
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
5859
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
5860
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
5862
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
5863
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
5864
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
5865
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
5867
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
5868
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
5870
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
5871
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
5872
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
5873
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
5876
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
5878
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
5879
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
5881
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
5882
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
5884
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
5885
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
5886
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
5887
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
5891
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
5892
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
5897
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
5898
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
5899
in running it. (Robert Collins)
5901
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
5902
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
5904
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
5905
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
5906
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
5907
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
5908
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
5909
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
5910
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
5911
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5913
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
5914
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
5915
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5917
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
5918
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
5919
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
5920
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
5921
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
5923
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5925
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
5926
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
5927
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
5929
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
5930
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
5939
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
5942
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
5943
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
5946
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
5947
#######################
5952
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
5953
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
5959
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
5960
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
5961
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
5962
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
5963
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
5964
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
5965
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
5966
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
5972
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
5973
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
5974
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
5976
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
5977
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
5980
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
5981
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
5982
(John Arbash Meinel)
5984
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
5985
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
5986
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
5987
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
5988
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
5993
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
5996
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
5997
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
5999
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
6000
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
6002
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
6003
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
6004
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
6006
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
6007
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
6009
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
6010
last-changed-revision for directories. The
6011
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
6012
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
6013
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
6015
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
6016
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
6017
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
6019
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

#######################
6025
Notes When Upgrading
6026
********************
6028
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
6029
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
6030
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
6035
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
6036
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
6038
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
6039
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
6041
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
6043
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
6044
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
6046
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
6047
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
6052
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
6058
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
6059
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
6060
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
6061
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
6063
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
6064
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
6066
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
6067
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
6069
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
6072
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
6073
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
6076
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
6077
#######################
6082
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
6083
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
6084
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
6085
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
6086
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
6087
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
6089
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
6090
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
6091
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
6092
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
6093
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
6094
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
6096
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
6098
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
6099
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
6100
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
6101
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
6102
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
6103
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
6104
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
6105
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
6110
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
6111
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
6113
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
6114
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
6115
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
6116
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
6118
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
6119
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
6120
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
6121
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
6122
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
6124
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
6127
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
6130
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
6133
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
6134
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
6137
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
6140
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
6141
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
6143
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
6144
directory. (Martin Pool)
6146
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
6147
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
6148
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
6149
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
6151
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
6152
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
6153
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
6154
in docs/configuration.txt.
6156
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
6157
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
6160
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
6161
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
6162
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
6163
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
6164
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
6165
repositories. (Martin Pool)
6167
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
6168
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
6170
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
6171
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
6173
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
6179
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
6180
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
6181
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
6182
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
6183
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
6184
(John Arbash Meinel)
6186
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
6187
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
6190
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
6191
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
6192
(John Arbash Meinel)
6194
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
6195
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
6196
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
6197
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
6198
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
6199
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
6201
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
6202
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
6203
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
6205
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
6206
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
6207
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
6208
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
6210
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6212
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
6213
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
6214
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
6215
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
6217
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
6218
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
6219
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
6220
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
6222
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
6223
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
6224
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
6226
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
6227
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
6228
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
6230
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
6231
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
6232
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
6233
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
6235
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
6236
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
6237
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
6239
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
6240
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
6241
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
6243
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
6244
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
6245
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
6246
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
6247
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
6248
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
6249
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
6250
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
6251
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
6252
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
6253
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
6258
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
6259
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
6260
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
6262
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
6265
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
6266
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
6267
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
6268
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
6270
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
6271
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
6274
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
6275
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
6277
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
6279
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
6280
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
6281
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
6283
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
6284
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
6286
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
6287
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
6289
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
6290
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
6292
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
6293
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
6295
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
6297
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
6298
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
6303
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
6304
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
6308
####################
6313
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
6318
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
6319
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
6320
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
6322
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
6323
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
6324
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
6327
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
6328
#######################
6333
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
6334
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
6335
server, then you can write over the http connection.
6336
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
6338
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
6341
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
6342
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
6343
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
6345
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
6346
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
6348
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
6351
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
6352
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
6353
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
6354
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
6355
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
6356
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
6358
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
6359
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
6360
should enable you to do::
6362
[/home/user/project]
6363
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
6364
push_location:policy = appendpath
6366
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
6367
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
6370
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
6371
for each file. For example::
6373
$ bzr status --short
6379
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
6380
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
6382
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
6384
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
6385
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
6387
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
6392
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
6393
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
6394
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
6395
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
6397
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
6398
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
6399
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
6401
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
6403
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
6404
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
6405
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
6406
(Alexander Belchenko)
6408
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
6411
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
6412
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
6414
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
6419
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
6420
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
6422
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
6423
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
6424
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
6425
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
6426
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
6428
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
6429
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
6431
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
6432
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
6434
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
6436
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
6438
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
6439
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
6440
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
6441
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
6442
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
6444
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
6445
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
6446
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
6447
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
6449
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
6450
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
6452
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
6453
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
6455
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
6456
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
6458
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
6476
(Daniel Silverstone)
6478
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
6479
operations are substantially faster.
6480
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
6482
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
6483
tree from some other url. For example:
6484
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
6485
(Daniel Silverstone)
6487
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
6488
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
6489
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
6490
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
6492
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
6495
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
6496
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
6497
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
6498
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
6499
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
6500
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
6505
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
6506
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
6509
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
6510
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
6511
(John Arbash Meinel)
6513
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
6514
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
6515
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
6516
(John Arbash Meinel)
6518
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
6519
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
6521
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
6522
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
6524
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
6525
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
6531
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
6532
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
6533
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
6535
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
6536
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
6537
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
6538
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
6540
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
6542
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
6543
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
6545
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
6546
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
6547
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
6548
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
6550
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
6551
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
6552
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
6554
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
6555
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
6556
them as full references rather than integers.
6557
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
6559
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
6560
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
6562
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
6564
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
6565
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
6567
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
6568
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
6570
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
6571
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
6572
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
6573
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
6575
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
6576
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
6577
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
6579
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
6580
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
6582
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
6583
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
6584
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
6585
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
6586
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
6591
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
6592
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

#######################
6610
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
6611
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
6612
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
6613
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
6615
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
6616
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
6618
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
6620
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
6621
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
6622
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
6623
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
6625
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
6626
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
6627
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
6628
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
6629
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
6634
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
6635
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
6640
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
6641
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
6642
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
6644
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
6645
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
6646
(John Arbash Meinel)
6648
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
6649
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
6650
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
6652
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
6653
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
6656
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
6657
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
6658
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6660
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
6661
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
6662
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
6663
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
6664
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
6665
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6667
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
6668
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
6669
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
6672
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
6673
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
6678
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
6679
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
6680
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
6683
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
6684
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
6686
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
6687
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
6688
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
6690
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
6691
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
6693
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
6694
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
6695
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
6696
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
6698
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
6699
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
6701
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
6702
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
6703
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
6705
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
6706
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
6708
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
6710
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
6711
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
6717
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
6718
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
6719
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
6720
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
6722
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
6723
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
6724
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)

6748
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
6749
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
6750
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
6751
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
6752
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
6753
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
6754
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
6756
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
6757
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
6758
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
6760
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
6762
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
6763
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
6765
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
6766
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
6767
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
6770
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
6771
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
6772
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
6773
(John Arbash Meinel)
6775
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
6776
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
6777
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
6778
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
6781
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
6782
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
6783
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
6784
(John Arbash Meinel)
6789
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
6790
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
6792
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
6794
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
6795
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
6796
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)

* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
6799
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)

* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
6802

6807
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
6808
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
6810
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
6812
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
6813
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
6815
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
6816
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
6818
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
6819
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
6821
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
6822
(John Arbash Meinel)
6824
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
6825
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
6826
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
6828
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
6829
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
6831
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
6832
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
6833
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
6834
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
6836
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
6837
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
6838
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
6840
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
6841
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
6846
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
6851
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
6852
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
6853
(John Arbash Meinel)
6855
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
6856
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
6857
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
6858
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
6860
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
6863
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
6864
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
6865
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
6867
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
6868
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
6870
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
6871
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
6872
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
6874
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
6875
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
6876
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
6877
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
6878
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
6879
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
6880
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
6881
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
6882
caller to repeat their request.
6883
(John Arbash Meinel)
6885
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
6886
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
6888
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
6889
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
6891
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
6892
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
6893
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
6894
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
6895
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
6896
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
6897
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
6899
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
6900
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
6901
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
6902
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
6903
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
6904
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
6905
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
6906
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
6909
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
6910
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
6911
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
6913
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
6914
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
6916
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
6917
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
6919
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
6920
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
6925
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
6926
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
6928
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
6929
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
6930
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
6932
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
6933
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
6934
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
6937

* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
6942
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
6944
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
6945
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
6946
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
6947
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.

This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
6952
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
6954
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,

* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
6966
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
6967
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
6968
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
6970
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
6972
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
6974
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
6975
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
6976
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
6977
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
6979
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
6980
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
6981
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
6982
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
6983
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
6985
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
6986
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
6988
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
6989
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
6991
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
6992
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
6994
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
6995
in handling of revision properties.
6996
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
6998
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
6999
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
7004
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
7005
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
7006
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
7007
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
7008
(John Arbash Meinel)
7010
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
7011
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
7012
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
7014
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
7015
#####################
7020
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
7021
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
7022
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
7023
specific one '.bzrignore'.
7024
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
7025
a more conservative list than the old default.
7026
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
7027
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
7028
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
7029
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
7031
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
7032
to more locations than just branch locations.
7038
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
7039
revno:N:branch. For example,
7040
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
7041
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
7043
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
7044
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
7045
the path of a file that has been versioned.
7046
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
7047
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
7048
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
7049
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
7050
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
7053
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
7054
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
7055
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
7058
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
7059
(Alexander Belchenko)
7061
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
7063
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
7066
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
7067
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
7068
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
7069
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
7070
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
7071
(John Arbash Meinel)
7073
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
7074
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
7075
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
7076
grained analysis of performance.
7077
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
7079
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
7080
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
7082
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
7083
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
7084
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
7085
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
7086
file. (Robert Collins).
7088
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
7089
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
7090
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
7092
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
7093
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
7096
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
7097
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
7099
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
7100
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
7101
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
7102
the same way you would apply another branch.
7103
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
7105
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
7106
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
7108
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
7111
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
7114
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
7115
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
7116
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
7118
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
7119
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
7120
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
7122
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
7123
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
7125
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
7126
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
7127
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
7128
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
7129
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
7131
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
7132
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
7134
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
7135
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
7136
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
7137
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
7138
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
7139
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
7140
branch is as much as 4x faster.
7141
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
7143
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
7144
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
7145
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
7150
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
7152
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
7154
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
7155
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
7157
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
7158
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
7160
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
7161
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
7163
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
7165
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
7166
(John Arbash Meinel)
7168
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
7169
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
7171
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
7172
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
7175
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
7176
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
7178
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
7179
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
7181
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
7182
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
7183
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
7184
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
7186
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
7187
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
7189
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
7191
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
7192
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
7194
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
7196
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
7198
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
7199
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
7201
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
7202
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
7204
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
7205
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
7206
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
7208
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
7209
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
7210
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
7212
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
7213
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
7215
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
7216
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
7218
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
7219
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
7221
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
7222
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
7224
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
7225
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
7227
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
7228
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
7229
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
7231
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
7233
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
7234
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
7239
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
7240
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
7241
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
7243
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
7244
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
7246
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
7247
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
7248
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
7250
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
7251
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
7253
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
7254
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
7257
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
7258
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
7259
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
7261
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
7262
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
7263
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
7265
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
7266
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
7267
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
7269
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
7270
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
7271
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
7273
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
7274
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
7275
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
7277
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
7278
instead. (Robert Collins)
7280
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

7347
Notes When Upgrading
7348
********************
7350
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
7351
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
7352
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
7353
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
7354
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
7355
will keep the same format.
7357
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
7358
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
7359
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
7360
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
7361
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
7363
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
7364
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
7365
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
7366
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
7367
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
7368
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
7369
indicating the current revision of the branch.
7371
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
7372
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
7373
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
7374
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
7375
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
7377
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
7378
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
7379
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
7386
* sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
7387
convention. Paths now take the form::
7389
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
7391
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
7393
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
7394
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
7396
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
7397
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
7398
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
7400
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
7401
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
7402
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
7403
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
7405
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
7406
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
7407
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
7409
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
7411
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
7413
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
7414
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
7417
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
7418
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
7421
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
7423
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
7424
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
7425
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
7428
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
7430
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
7432
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
7435
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
7436
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
7438
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
7439
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
7442
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
7443
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
7446
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
7448
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
7450
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
7451
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
7453
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
7454
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
7455
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
7456
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
7457
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
7458
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
7460
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
7462
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
7463
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
7466
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
7467
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
7469
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
7470
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
7472
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
7474
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
7475
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
7476
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
7477
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
7478
specification by Martin Pool.
7479
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
7481
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
7484
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
7485
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
7487
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
7488
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
7489
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
7491
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
7493
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
7494
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
7500
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
7501
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
7503
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
7505
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
7507
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
7510
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
7511
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
7512
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
7513
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
7518
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
7519
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
7520
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
7521
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
7523
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
7524
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
7525
tried. (Martin Pool)
7527
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
7530
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
7532
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
7533
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
7534
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
7536
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
7537
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
7539
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
7540
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
7541
paths. (Robert Collins)
7543
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
7544
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
7545
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
7547
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
7548
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
7549
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
7551
* Progress bars are now nested - see
7552
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
7553
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
7555
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
7558
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
7561
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
7563
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
7565
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
7566
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
7567
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
7570
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
7571
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
7573
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
7574
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
7575
check. (Robert Collins)
7577
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
7578
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
7583
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
7584
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
7586
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
7587
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
7588
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
7589
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
7591
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
7592
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
7593
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
7594
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
7595
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
7597
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
7598
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
7599
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
7601
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
7603
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
7604
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
7612
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
7613
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
7615
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
7616
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
7617
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
7620
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
7621
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
7623
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
7624
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
7625
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
7626
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
7627
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
7629
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
7630
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
7631
used. (Robert Collins)
7633
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
7634
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
7637
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
7638
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
7639
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
7641
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
7644
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
7645
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
7650
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
7651
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
7653
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
7655
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
7657
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
7658
tree. (Robert Collins)
7660
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
7661
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
7662
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
7665
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
7668
* Tweaks to short log printing
7670
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
7673
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
7674
occurs. (Martin Pool)
7676
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
7677
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
7679
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
7680
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
7682
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
7683
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
7684
settings. (Magnus Therning)
7686
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
7687
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
7689
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
7690
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
7693
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
7694
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
7696
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
7697
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
7699
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
7700
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
7702
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
7705
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
7706
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
7708
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
7709
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
7711
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
7712
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
7713
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
7718
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
7720
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
7722
* Error when run with -OO
7724
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
7727
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
7729
* Change status to 3 for all errors
7731
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
7732
ignored by diff and status
7734
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
7735
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
7737
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
7739
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
7741
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
7742
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
7744
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
7745
email address. (Marien Zwart)
7747
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
7750
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
7751
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
7753
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
7755
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
7756
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
7758
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
7761
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
7762
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
7764
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
7769
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
7770
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
7772
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
7774
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
7776
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
7778
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
7779
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
7780
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
7782
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
7784
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
7785
(John Arbash Meinel)
7787
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
7789
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
7790
If adding a new test script please add that to
7791
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
7793
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
7794
imported. (Martin Pool)
7796
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
7797
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
7798
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
7799
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
7800
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
7803
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
7804
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
7805
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
7807
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
7808
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
7809
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
7811
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
7812
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
7813
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
7814
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
7815
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
7818
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
7819
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
7825
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
7826
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
7828
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
7829
function. (Robert Collins)
7831
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
7832
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
7833
if needed). (Robert Collins)
7835
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
7836
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
7839
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
7840
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
7841
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
7842
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
7843
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
7844
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
7845
version. (Robert Collins)
7847
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
7848
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
7850
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
7851
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
7852
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
7853
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
7854
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
7855
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
7857
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
7860
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
7870
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
7872
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
7874
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
7877
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
7878
query method. (Robert Collins)
7880
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
7883
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
7886
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
7889
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
7890
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
7891
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
7892
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
7894
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
7895
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
7896
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
7897
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
7899
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
7900
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
7908
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
7911
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
7915
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
7916
a separator, not ':'.
7919
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
7920
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
7921
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
7923
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
7924
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
7927
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
7928
has been added that suppresses all output.
7930
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
7933
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
7934
Goffredo Baroncelli.
7936
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
7937
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
7939
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
7940
a revision. (Robert Collins)
7942
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
7943
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
7944
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
7945
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
7947
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
7949
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
7950
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
7952
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
7953
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
7955
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
7956
output directory, if one was supplied.
7958
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
7959
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
7960
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
7961
parameters. (Robert Collins)
7963
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
7965
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
7966
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
7968
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
7969
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
7970
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
7972
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
7973
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
7975
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
7978
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
7980
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
7985
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
7986
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
7987
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
7989
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
7990
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
7991
related questions. (Robert Collins)
7993
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
7994
is given. (Martin Pool)
7996
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
7997
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
7998
file. (Robert Collins)
8000
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
8006
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
8007
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
8008
representation. (Martin Pool).
8010
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
8011
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
8012
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
8014
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
8017
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
8018
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
8021
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
8022
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
8023
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
8024
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
8025
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
8027
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
8028
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
8029
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
8030
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
8031
python path. (Robert Collins)
8033
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
8034
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
8035
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
8036
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
8038
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
8039
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
8041
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
8042
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
8045
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
8046
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
8047
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
8049
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
8050
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
8051
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
8053
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
8054
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
8056
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
8057
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
8058
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
8061
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
8062
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
8063
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
8064
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
8067
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
8070
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
8071
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
8074
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
8075
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
8076
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
8078
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
8079
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
8080
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
8082
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
8083
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
8084
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
8086
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
8087
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
8089
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
8090
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
8091
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
8092
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
8093
caller. (Robert Collins)
8095
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
8096
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
8099
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
8100
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
8103
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
8105
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
8106
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
8111

####################
8124
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
8125
allow directories to be listed.
8127
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
8128
upgrading branch format.
8133
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
8142
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
8143
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
8144
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
8145
high-latency connections.
8150
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
8153
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
8154
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
8156
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
8157
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
8158
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
8159
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
8161
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
8162
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
8164
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
8165
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
8167
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
8168
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
8169
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
8171
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
8172
for files with only a change to their executable status.
8173
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
8176
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
8177
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
8179
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
8180
different partial views of history.
8182
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
8183
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
8188
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
8189
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
8190
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
8192
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
8193
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
8196
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
8197
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
8199
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
8202
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
8203
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
8205
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
8206
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
8207
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
8208
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
8210
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
8212
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
8213
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
8216
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
8217
Contributed by Robert Collins.
8219
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
8220
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
8221
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
8227
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
8228
for your viewing pleasure.
8230
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
8231
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
8233
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
8234
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
8235
handling of such circumstances.
8237
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
8238
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
8239
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
8241
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
8243
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
8244
we call them revisions not patches.
8246
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
8247
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
8249
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
8250
giving the revision *of that file*.
8252
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
8253
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
8254
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
8259
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
8260
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
8262
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
8263
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``

8272
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
8274
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
8277
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
8279
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
8281
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
8282
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
8287
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
8288
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
8290
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
8291
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
8292
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
8293
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
8296
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
8297
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
8302
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.

* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
8305
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)

bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
8309
####################
8314
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
8315
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
8316
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
8317
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
8320
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
8323
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
8324
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
8325
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
8326
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
8327
for the operating system is still tried.
8329
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
8330
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
8331
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
8337
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
8342
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
8344
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
8347
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be

####################
8365
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
8366
help with intelligent shell completion.
8368
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
8374
* Much better merge support.
8376
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
8377
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
8384
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
8385
mention revisions that are not present.
8387
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
8389
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
8391
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
8392
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
8398
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
8400
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
8401
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
8408
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
8409
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by

####################
8420
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
8421
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
8423
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
8425
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
8426
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
8428
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
8431
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
8433
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
8436
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
8437
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
8439
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
8440
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
8441
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
8447
* Faster working tree operations.
8453
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
8454
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
8455
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
8456
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
8458
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
8459
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
8460
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
8461
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
8462
standard plugins directory.
8464
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
8465
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
8466
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
8467
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
8469
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
8470
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
8472
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
8475
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
8476
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
8477
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
8479
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
8480
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
8482
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
8483
line options must come before the command name because they
8484
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
8485
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
8488
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
8490
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
8491
is available with ``--short``.
8497
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.

#####################
8506
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
8507
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
8509
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
8510
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
8511
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
8512
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
8514
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
8515
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
8516
with the ``--forward`` option.
8518
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
8519
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
8526
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
8527
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
8529
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
8531
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
8532
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
8534
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
8536
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
8537
either read or write mode.
8539
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
8541
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
8544
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
8546
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
8547
suggested by LarstiQ.
8549
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
8550
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
8552
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
8555
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
8556
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
8558
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
8559
haven't changed since the previous time.
8561
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
8562
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
8564
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
8566
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
8568
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
8569
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
8571
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
8572
options through to an external GNU diff.
8574
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not

* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
8585
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
8587
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
8594
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
8595
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to

* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
8599
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
8601
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
8602
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
8604
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
8605
under a different version.
8607
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
8613
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
8615
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
8616
Scott James Remnant.
8618
* Better help messages for many commands.
8620
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
8621
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
8623
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
8624
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
8626
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
8628
