.. 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.
154
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
155
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
156
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
157
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
162
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
163
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
164
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
165
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
166
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
168
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
169
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
171
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
172
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
173
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
174
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
180
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
181
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
182
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
184
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
185
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
186
dependency. (Robert Collins)
188
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
189
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
190
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
192
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
193
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
196
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
197
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
198
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
200
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
201
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
203
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
204
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
205
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
207
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
208
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
209
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
211
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
212
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
215
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
216
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
217
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
219
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
220
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
221
regardless of ``InterRepository``.
222
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
227
:Codename: paraskavedekatriaphobia
232
GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``. Debug
233
flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``. Lightweight checkouts and
234
stacked branches should both be much faster over remote connections.
236
Changes From 1.13 to 1.13.1
237
***************************
238
A couple regessions where found in the 1.13 release. The pyrex-generated C
239
extensions are missing from the .tar.gz and .zip files. Documentation on how
240
to generate GNU ChangeLogs is wrong.
245
* Change ``./bzr``'s ``_script_version`` to match ./bzrlib/__init__.py
246
version_info. (Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, #345232)
248
* Distribution archives for 1.13 do not contain generated C extension modules
249
(Jean-Francois Roy, Bob Tanner, #344465)
251
* GNU ChangeLog output can now be produced by bzr log --format gnu-changelog is
252
incorrect (Deejay, Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #343928)
254
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
256
Changes From RC1 to Final
257
*************************
259
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
260
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
261
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
263
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
264
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
269
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
270
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
271
command may need to be adjusted.
272
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
277
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
278
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
279
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
281
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
284
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
285
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
286
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
289
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
290
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
292
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
295
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
296
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
298
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernoij)
300
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
301
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
304
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
310
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
311
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
312
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
313
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
314
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
315
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
316
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
317
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
320
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
321
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
323
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
324
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
325
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
327
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
328
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
330
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
331
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
332
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
335
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
336
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
337
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
339
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
340
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
341
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
342
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
344
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
347
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
348
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
350
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
351
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
353
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
354
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
355
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
357
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
362
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
363
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
365
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
366
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
367
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
369
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
370
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
371
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
373
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
374
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
376
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
377
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
380
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
381
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
382
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
384
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
385
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
387
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
388
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
390
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
391
(James Westby, #174539)
393
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
394
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
396
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
397
error branching from old repositories.
398
(Martin Pool, #321695)
400
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
401
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
403
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
404
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
405
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
406
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
408
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
409
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko)
411
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
412
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
414
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
415
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
417
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
418
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
419
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
421
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
422
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
424
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.
425
(Benoît Pierre, Aaron Bentley)
430
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
431
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
432
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
435
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
436
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
438
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.
439
(Daniel Watkins, #327421, #327425)
444
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
445
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
446
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
447
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
448
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
450
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
451
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
453
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
454
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
455
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
456
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
457
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
458
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
460
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
461
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
463
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
464
"author" argument being deprecated.
466
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
468
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
469
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
470
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
471
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
473
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
474
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
475
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
477
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
478
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
479
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
481
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
482
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
484
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
485
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
486
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
487
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
492
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
493
free of virtual file system methods.
494
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
496
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
497
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
498
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
500
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
501
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
502
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
503
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
504
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
505
(Robert Collins, #334187)
507
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
509
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
510
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
512
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
513
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
514
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
515
stream the operation.
516
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
518
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
519
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
521
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
522
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
523
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
524
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
525
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
527
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
528
branch object. (Robert Collins)
530
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
531
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
532
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
534
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
535
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
538
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
541
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
542
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
543
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
545
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
546
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
547
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
549
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
550
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
551
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
553
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
554
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
555
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
557
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
558
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
559
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
560
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
561
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
563
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
564
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
565
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
566
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
567
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
568
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
570
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
571
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
572
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
573
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
574
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
576
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
577
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
579
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
580
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
582
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
583
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
584
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
585
to access private data in record to obtain content more
586
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
588
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
589
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.
596
:Codename: 1234567890
600
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
601
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
602
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
603
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
604
by showing the rate of network IO.
606
Changes from RC1 to Final
607
*************************
609
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
610
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
612
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
613
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
618
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
619
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
620
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
621
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
623
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
624
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
625
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
628
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
629
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
630
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
631
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
633
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
634
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
635
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
638
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
643
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
644
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
645
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
648
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
649
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
650
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
652
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
653
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
654
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
655
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
656
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
657
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
658
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
659
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
660
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
666
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
669
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
672
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
673
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
674
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
676
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
677
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
678
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
679
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
680
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
682
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
683
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
685
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
686
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
687
level for better precision.
690
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
691
rules. (Marius Kruger)
693
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
694
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
695
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
697
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
698
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
699
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
702
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
703
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
704
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
709
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
711
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
713
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
714
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
715
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
717
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
718
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
719
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
720
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
721
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
722
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
724
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
725
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
727
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
728
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
730
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
731
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
732
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
734
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
735
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
736
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
739
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
740
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
742
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
743
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
744
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
745
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
747
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
748
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
750
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
752
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)
757
* Improved plugin developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
762
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
763
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
766
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
767
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
769
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
770
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
772
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
773
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
775
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
776
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
777
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
778
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
780
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
781
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
782
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
787
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
788
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
789
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
790
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
791
compile buffers, are such an example).
794
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
795
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
798
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
799
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
800
efficient way of doing the mapping.
803
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
804
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
806
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
807
formatters to retrict the output.

##############################
814
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
815
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
816
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
817
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
818
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
820
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
821
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
824
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
825
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.
830
* Fix failing test when CompiledChunksToLines is not available.
833
* Stacked branches don't repeatedly open their transport connection.
838
bzr 1.11rc1 "Eyes up!" 2009-01-09
839
#################################
844
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
845
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
850
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
851
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
853
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
854
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
855
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
856
implement other plugins.
859
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
865
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
866
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
868
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
869
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
871
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
872
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
873
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
874
processes which drag in shell extensions.
877
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
878
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
879
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
880
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
881
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
883
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
884
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
885
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
886
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
887
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
892
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
893
control directory. (#139691)
895
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
896
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
898
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
899
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
901
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
902
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
903
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
905
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
906
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
908
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
909
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
910
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
912
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
913
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
915
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
918
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
919
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
920
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
922
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
923
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
925
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
926
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
927
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
929
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
930
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
931
in the appropriate sections.
932
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
934
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
935
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
938
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
939
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
941
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
942
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
944
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
945
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
947
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
948
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
949
work better with how it splits its requests.
950
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
952
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
953
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
954
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
956
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
959
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
961
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
962
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
964
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
970
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
971
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
972
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
978
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
979
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
980
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
981
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
983
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
984
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
986
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
987
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
988
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
989
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
991
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
992
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
993
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
994
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
999
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
1000
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
1001
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
1003
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
1004
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
1005
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
1006
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
1008
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
1009
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
1010
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
1016
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
1017
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
1018
(John Arbash Meinel)
1020
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
1021
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
1022
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
1023
(John Arbash Meinel)
1025
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
1026
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
1027
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
1028
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
1030
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
1031
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
1032
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
1034
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
1035
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
1036
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
1037
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
1039
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
1040
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
1041
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
1042
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
1043
(John Arbash Meinel)
1045
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
1046
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
1048
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
1049
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
1050
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
1052
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
1053
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
1054
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
1055
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
1057
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
1058
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
1059
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
1060
(John Arbash Meinel)
1062
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
1063
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
1064
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
1065
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
1066
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
1067
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
1068
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1070
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
1071
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)
1078
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
1079
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
1080
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
1081
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
1084
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
1089
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
1090
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
1091
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
1092
(Martin Pool, #303856)
1094
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
1095
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
1096
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
1097
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
1098
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)
1101
bzr 1.10rc1 2008-11-28
1102
######################
1104
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
1105
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
1106
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
1107
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
1108
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
1113
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
1114
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1116
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
1122
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
1123
history just to set the last revision info.
1124
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1126
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
1127
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
1128
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
1129
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1131
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
1132
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
1133
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
1134
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
1135
(John Arbash Meinel)
1137
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
1138
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1140
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
1141
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
1142
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
1143
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
1144
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
1146
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
1147
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
1148
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
1149
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
1154
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
1155
(Martin Pool, #289148)
1157
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
1158
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
1160
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
1161
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
1162
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
1163
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
1165
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
1166
starting with a dotted revno.
1167
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
1169
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
1170
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
1171
(Martin Pool, #288751)
1173
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
1174
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
1175
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
1177
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
1178
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
1179
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
1181
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
1182
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
1183
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
1184
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
1186
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
1187
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
1188
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
1190
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
1191
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
1196
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
1197
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
1198
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
1199
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
1201
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
1202
have changed incompatibly.
1204
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
1205
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
1206
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
1207
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
1208
don't need to change.
1210
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
1211
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
1216
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
1217
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
1219
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
1225
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
1226
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
1227
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
1228
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
1229
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
1230
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
1235
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
1236
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
1238
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
1240
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
1241
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.

#####################
1251
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
1252
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
1254
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
1255
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
1256
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
1257
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
1262
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
1263
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
1264
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
1265
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
1266
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
1267
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
1269
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
1270
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1272
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
1273
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
1274
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
1276
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
1277
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
1278
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
1281
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
1282
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
1284
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
1285
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
1287
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
1288
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
1290
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
1291
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
1292
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
1293
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
1294
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
1295
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
1296
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
1297
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
1298
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
1299
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
1304
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
1305
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
1307
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
1308
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
1310
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
1311
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
1312
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
1314
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
1315
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
1316
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
1318
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
1319
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
1320
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
1322
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
1323
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
1324
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
1325
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
1326
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
1327
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
1329
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
1330
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
1332
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
1333
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
1335
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
1336
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
1337
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
1338
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
1339
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
1341
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
1342
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
1343
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
1344
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
1349
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
1354
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
1359
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
1360
configuration of authetication credentials.
1366
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
1367
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
1368
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
1369
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
1370
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
1375
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
1376
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
1381
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
1382
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
1385
bzr 1.8rc1 2008-10-07
1386
#####################
1391
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
1392
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
1393
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
1394
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
1395
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
1397
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
1398
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
1400
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
1401
server. (Marius Kruger)
1403
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
1404
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
1405
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
1406
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
1407
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
1408
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
1413
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
1414
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
1415
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
1417
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
1422
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
1423
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
1424
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
1425
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
1427
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
1428
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
1431
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
1432
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
1435
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
1438
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
1440
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
1441
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
1443
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
1444
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
1446
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
1447
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
1448
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
1449
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
1450
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
1451
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
1452
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
1453
operations. (Robert Collins)
1455
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
1457
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
1458
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
1459
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
1464
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
1465
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
1466
(Martin Pool, #279381)
1468
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
1469
repository now preserves the repository format.
1470
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
1472
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
1473
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
1475
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
1476
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
1478
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
1480
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
1482
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
1485
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
1486
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
1487
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
1489
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
1490
is in a different repository than the current one.
1491
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
1493
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
1494
(David Futcher, #242106)
1496
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
1497
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1499
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
1500
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
1501
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
1502
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
1504
* Trivial documentation fix.
1505
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
1507
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
1508
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
1509
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
1510
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
1515
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
1520
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
1521
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
1522
to use. (Robert Collins)
1524
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
1525
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
1526
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
1528
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
1529
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
1530
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
1531
they want. (Robert Collins)
1536
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
1537
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
1538
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
1540
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
1541
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
1544
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
1547
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
1548
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
1550
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
1556
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
1557
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
1559
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
1560
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
1561
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
1563
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
1564
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
1565
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
1567
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
1568
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1570
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
1571
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
1573
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
1574
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
1576
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
1577
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
1578
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
1579
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept

1593
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
1594
file paths when we encounter complex history.
1599
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
1600
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
1601
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
1602
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.

(John Arbash Meinel)
1609
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
1610
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
1611
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
1612
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
1613
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
1614
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.

#####################
1652
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
1653
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
1654
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
1655
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
1656
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
1657

1663
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
1666
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
1667
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
1668
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
1670
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
1671
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
1672
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
1677
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
1678
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
1680
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
1685
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
1686
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
1689
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
1690
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
1692
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
1693
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
1696
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
1697
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
1698
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
1699
(John Arbash Meinel)
1701
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
1702
(Martin Pool, #261315)
1704
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
1705
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
1706
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
1707
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
1708
(John Arbash Meinel)
1710
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
1711
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
1712
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
1713
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
1714
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
1715
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
1716
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
1717
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
1718
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
1719
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1724
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
1725
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
1727
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
1728
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
1729
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
1731
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
1732
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
1733
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
1735
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
1736
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
1737
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
1738
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
1739
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
1740
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
1742
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
1743
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
1745
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
1746
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
1748
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
1749
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
1750
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
1751
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
1752
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
1753
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
1755
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
1756
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
1758
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
1759
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
1761
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
1762
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
1763
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
1764
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
1766
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
1767
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)

* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
1770
assuming the host name is ascii.
1771
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
1773
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
1774
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
1779
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
1784
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
1786
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
1787
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
1788
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
1791
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
1792
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1794
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
1795
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
1797
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
1798
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
1803
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
1804
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
1805
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
1806
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
1808
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
1812
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
1813
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
1814
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1816
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
1822
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
1823
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
1826
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
1827
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
1828
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
1829
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
1830
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1832
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
1833
is unknown in both source and target.
1834
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
1836
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
1837
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
1838
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
1839
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1841
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
1842
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
1843
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
1844
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

####################
1850
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
1851
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
1852
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
1855
bzr 1.6.1rc2 2008-09-03
1856
#######################
1861
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
1862
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
1863
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
1864
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
1867
bzr 1.6.1rc1 2008-08-29
1868
#######################
1870
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
1871
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
1872
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
1873
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
1874
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
1875
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
1876
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
1877
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
1878
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
1879
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
1880
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
1881
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
1886
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
1887
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
1888
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
1889
start of the string (causing more copies).
1890
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
1891
especially for projects with large files.
1892
(John Arbash Meinel)
1894
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
1895
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
1896
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
1897
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
1898
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
1900
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
1901
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
1902
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
1903
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
1904
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.
1905
(John Arbash Meinel, #262333)
1911
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
1912
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
1913
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
1914
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
1915
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
1916
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
1917
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
1918
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
1919
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
1922
bzr 1.6rc5 2008-08-19
1923
#####################
1928
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
1929
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
1930
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
1931
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
1932
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
1935
bzr 1.6rc4 2008-08-18
1936
#####################
1941
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
1942
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
1943
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
1946
bzr 1.6rc3 2008-08-14
1947
#####################
1952
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
1953
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
1959
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
1960
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
1961
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
1967
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
1968
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
1969
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
1971
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
1972
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
1973
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
1974
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
1975
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
1976
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
1977
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
1980
bzr 1.6rc2 2008-08-13
1981
#####################
1983
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
1989
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
1990
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
1992
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
1993
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
1996
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
1997
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
1998
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
1999
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
2000
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
2002
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
2003
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2005
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
2006
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
2008
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
2009
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
2011
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
2012
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
2013
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
2014
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
2015
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
2016
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
2019
bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
2020
#####################
2022
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
2023
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
2024
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
2025
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
2026
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
2031
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
2032
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
2033
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
2038
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
2039
check. (Daniel Watkins)
2041
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
2042
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
2044
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
2045
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
2046
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2048
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
2051
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
2052
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
2053
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
2054
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
2055
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
2056
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
2057
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2059
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
2060
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
2061
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
2066
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
2067
physical repository boundaries.
2068
(Martin Pool, #252428)
2070
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
2071
(Martin Pool, #206258)
2073
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
2074
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
2077
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
2080
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
2081
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
2082
that Python is running from.
2083
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
2085
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
2086
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
2087
(Robert Collins, #150438)
2089
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
2090
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
2092
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
2093
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
2094
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
2096
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
2097
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
2099
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
2100
(James Westby, #248448)
2105
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
2106
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
2107
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
2110
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
2111
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
2114
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
2115
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
2116
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
2117
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
2118
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
2119
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
2122
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
2123
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2125
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
2126
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
2127
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
2128
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
2129
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
2130
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
2135
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
2136
putting together a real history without having to create a full
2137
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
2138
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
2139
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
2140
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2142
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
2143
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
2144
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
2146
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
2149
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
2150
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
2152
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.

2159
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
2160
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
2161
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
2162
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
2168
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
2169
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
2170
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
2172
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
2173
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
2174
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
2175
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
2176
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
2179
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
2181
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
2182
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
2183
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
2189
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
2190
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
2193
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
2194
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
2195
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
2196
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
2198
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
2199
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
2200
(Christophe Troestler)
2202
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
2203
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
2205
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
2206
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
2207
faster. The new request method name is
2208
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2213
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
2214
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
2215
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
2216
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
2217
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
2219
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
2220
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
2222
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
2223
requires a branch to be present.
2224
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
2226
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
2228
(Martin Pool, #205230)
2230
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
2231
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
2232
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
2233
(Martin Pool, #240161)
2235
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
2236
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
2238
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
2240
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
2242
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
2243
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
2244
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
2245
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
2246
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
2248
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
2249
(Martin Pool, #172870)
2251
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
2252
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
2254
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
2256
(Matt McClure, #209281)
2258
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
2259
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
2261
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
2262
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
2267
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
2270
* Updated developer documentation.
2276
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
2277
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
2279
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
2280
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
2281
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
2282
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
2287
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
2288
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
2289
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
2290
Repository docstring for more details.
2293
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
2294
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
2295
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
2297
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
2298
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
2301
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
2302
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
2303
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
2304
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
2309
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
2310
(Alexander Belchenko)
2312
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
2313
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
2314
containing a given location.
2317
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
2318
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
2319
storage. (Robert Collins)
2321
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
2324
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
2325
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.

* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
2341
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
2342
reading from the repository.)
2343
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
2345
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
2346
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
2348
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
2349
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
2352
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
2353
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
2354
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
2356
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
2357
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
2358
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
2360
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
2361
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
2363
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
2364
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
2365
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.

* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
2374
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
2375
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
2378
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
2379
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
2384
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2389
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
2390
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
2395
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
2396
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
2397
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
2398
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
2399
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
2401
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
2402
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
2407
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
2408
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
2410
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
2411
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)

#######################
2418
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
2419
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
2420
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
2421
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
2422
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
2423
and future extensions.
2426
Notes When Upgrading
2427
********************
2429
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
2430
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
2431
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
2432
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
2433
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
2434
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
2435
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
2436
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
2441
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
2442
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
2443
(John Arbash Meinel)
2448
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
2449
load. (James Westby)
2454
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
2455
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
2456
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
2457
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2459
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
2460
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
2461
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
2463
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
2464
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
2466
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
2467
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
2468
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
2470
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
2471
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
2472
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
2473
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
2474
step closer to not using full revision history.
2475
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
2480
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
2481
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
2483
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
2484
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
2486
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
2487
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
2489
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
2490
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
2491
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
2492
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
2494
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
2495
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
2496
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
2497
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
2499
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
2500
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
2501
in use by another process.
2504
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
2505
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
2506
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
2507
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
2509
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
2510
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
2512
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
2513
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
2514
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
2516
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
2517
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
2518
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
2520
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
2522
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
2524
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
2525
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
2527
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
2528
under vim on Mac OS X.
2529
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2531
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
2532
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
2537
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
2538
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
2540
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
2541
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
2544
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
2545
and about use of Python reprs.
2546
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
2548
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
2553
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
2556
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
2557
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
2559
* New helper function for splitting test suites
2560
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
2565
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
2566
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
2567
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
2568
(John Arbash Meinel)
2573
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
2574
instead. (Martin Pool)
2576
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
2577
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
2578
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
2579
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
2581
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
2582
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
2583
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
2584
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
2585
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
2587
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
2588
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
2589
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
2590
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
2591
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
2592
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
2594
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
2595
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
2598
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
2599
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
2602
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
2603
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
2604
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
2605
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
2607
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
2608
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
2609
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
2611
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
2612
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
2613
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
2614
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
2615
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
2618
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
2619
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
2620
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
2621
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
2624
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
2625
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
2626
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
2627
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
2628
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
2630
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
2637
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
2638
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
2639
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
2644
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
2645
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
2646
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
2651
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
2652
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.

#####################
2662
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
2663
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
2664
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
2665
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
2670
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
2671
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
2673
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
2674
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
2676
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
2682
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
2683
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
2685
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
2686
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
2688
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
2689
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
2690
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
2692
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
2693
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
2694
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
2696
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
2699
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
2700
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
2702
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
2703

2705
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
2706
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
2708
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
2709
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
2711
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
2712
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
2713
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
2715
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
2716
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
2718
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
2719
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
2721
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
2722
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
2723
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
2724
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
2726
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
2727
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
2730
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
2731
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
2732
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
2734
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
2735
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
2736
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
2737
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
2738
every revision each side had in common.
2739
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2741
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
2742
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
2744
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
2745
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
2746
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
2747
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
2752
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
2753
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
2754
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
2755
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
2757
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
2759
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
2761
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
2762
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
2767
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
2768
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
2769
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
2771
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
2772
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
2773
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
2774
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
2776
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
2777
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2779
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
2780
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
2781
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
2782
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2784
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
2785
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
2786
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
2787
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2792
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
2793
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
2794
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
2796
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
2798
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
2799
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
2801
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
2802
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2804
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
2805
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
2810
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
2811
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
2812
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
2814
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
2815
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
2816
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
2819
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
2820
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
2823
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.
2830
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
2831
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
2832
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
2833
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
2834
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
2835
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
2836
and faster performance.
2841
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
2842
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the

any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
2884
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
2886
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
2887
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
2888
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
2889
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
2890
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
2891
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
2894

2895
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
2896
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.

* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)

* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
2920
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
2921
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
2922
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)

* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
2925

* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
2928
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
2929
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
2932
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes

* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done

in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
2952
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
2953
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
2954
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
2955
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
2956
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
2958
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
2959
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
2961
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
2962
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2967
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
2968
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
2969
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
2970
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
2971
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
2972
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
2974
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
2975
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
2977
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
2978
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
2979
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
2981
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
2982
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
2984
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
2985
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
2986
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
2987
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2989
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
2990
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
2991
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
2992
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
2993
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
2995
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
2997
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
2998
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
3000
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
3002
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
3003
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
3005
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
3006
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
3011
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
3013
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
3015
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
3017
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
3022
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
3023
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
3024
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
3026
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
3027
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
3028
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
3029
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
3031
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
3032
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
3033
release. (James Westby)
3035
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
3038
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
3040
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
3041
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
3043
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
3044
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
3046
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
3047
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
3049
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
3050
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
3051
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
3053
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
3054
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
3055
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
3056
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
3058
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
3059
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
3060
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
3061
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
3063
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
3064
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
3065
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
3066
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
3067
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
3068
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
3070
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
3071
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
3072
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
3074
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
3075
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
3077
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
3078
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
3081
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
3082
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
3084
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
3085
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
3087
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
3088
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
3090
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
3091
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
3092
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
3094
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
3095
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
3096
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
3097
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
3098
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
3099
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
3104
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
3105
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
3106
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
3107
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
3109
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
3110
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
3111
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
3112
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
3116
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
3117
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
3120
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
3121
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
3123
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
3125
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
3126
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
3127
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
3132
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3134
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
3137
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
3138
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
3139
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
3140
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
3141
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
3142
(Martin Pool, #109520)
3144
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
3145
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
3147
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
3148
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
3149
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
3150
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
3152
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
3153
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
3155
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
3156
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
3198
********************
3200
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
3201
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
3206
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
3207
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
3208
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
3209
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
3212
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
3213
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
3214
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
3215
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
3216
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
3217
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
3219
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
3220
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
3221
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
3222
(Alexander Belchenko)
3224
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
3226
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
3227
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
3232
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
3233
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
3235
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
3236
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
3242
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
3244
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3246
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
3247
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
3248
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
3250
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
3251
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
3253
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
3254
to. (Daniel Watkins)
3256
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
3257
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
3258
(Alexander Belchenko)
3260
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
3261
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
3262
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
3263
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
3265
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
3268
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
3269
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
3270
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
3271
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
3272
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
3277
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
3278
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
3279
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
3280
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
3282
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
3283
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
3285
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
3286
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
3288
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
3289
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
3290
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
3292
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
3293
(#198793, John Ferlito)
3295
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
3298
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
3299
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
3301
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
3303
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
3305
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
3306
symlinks (James Henstridge)
3308
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
3309
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
3311
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
3312
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
3314
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
3315
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
3317
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
3318
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
3320
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
3321
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
3326
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
3327
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
3332
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
3333
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
3334
(Alexander Belchenko)
3339
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
3341
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
3342
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
3348
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
3349
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
3350
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
3352
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
3353
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
3354
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
3355
(Alexander Belchenko)
3357
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
3358
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
3359
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
3360
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
3362
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
3363
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
3364
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
3367
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
3368
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
3369
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
3371
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
3372
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
3373
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
3375
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
3376
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
3377
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
3378
format. (Robert Collins)
3387
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)

#####################
3393
Notes When Upgrading
3394
********************
3396
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
3397
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
3398
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
3399
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
3400
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
3406
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
3407
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
3409
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
3410
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
3411
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
3413
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
3414
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
3415
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
3416
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
3417
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
3418
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
3424
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
3425
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3427
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
3428
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
3429
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
3432
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
3433
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
3434
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
3435
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
3436
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
3438
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
3439
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
3440
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
3441
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
3442
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
3443
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
3444
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
3445
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
3450
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
3451
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
3453
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
3454
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
3456
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
3457
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3459
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
3460
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
3461
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
3463
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
3464
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
3465
(John Arbash Meinel)
3470
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
3471
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
3473
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
3474
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
3476
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
3477
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
3479
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
3480
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
3481
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
3483
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
3484
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
3485
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
3487
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
3488
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
3490
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
3491
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
3492
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
3493
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
3494
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
3496
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
3498
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
3499
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
3502
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
3503
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
3505
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
3506
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
3508
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
3509
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
3511
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
3512
more characters which should be considered valid.
3513
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
3515
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
3516
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
3518
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
3519
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
3524
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
3525
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
3527
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
3528
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
3534
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
3535
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
3541
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
3542
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
3543
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
3545
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
3546
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
3547
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
3549
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
3550
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
3551
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
3552
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
3554
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
3556
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
3557
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
3558
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
3559
server. (Robert Collins)
3561
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
3562
operate. (Robert Collins)
3564
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
3565
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
3566
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
3568
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
3569
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
3570
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
3571
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
3573
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
3574
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
3576
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
3577
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
3578
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
3580
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
3581
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
3583
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
3584
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
3586
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
3587
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
3588
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
3589
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

3603
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
3604
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
3605
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
3606
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
3608
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
3609
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
3610
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
3611
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
3616
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
3619
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
3622
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
3623
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
3628
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
3631
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
3632

3633
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
3635
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
3637
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
3638
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
3639
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
3640
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
3641
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
3643
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
3644
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
3645
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
3647
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
3648
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
3650
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
3653
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
3655
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
3657
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
3660

3661
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
3666
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.

* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
3675
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
3676
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
3678
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
3679
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
3681
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
3682
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3684
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
3685
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
3687
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
3688
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
3689
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
3691
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
3692
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
3694
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
3695
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
3698
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
3700
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
3701
user:pass embedded in the urls.

* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
3714
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
3716
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
3719
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
3720
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
3723
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
3724
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
3725
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
3730
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
3733
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
3734
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
3735
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
3736
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
3737
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
3738
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
3740
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)

3751
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
3753
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
3754
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
3755
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
3758
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
3759
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3761
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
3770
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
3771
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
3772
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
3774
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
3775
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
3778
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
3779
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
3781
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
3782
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)

* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
3785
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
3787
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
3788
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
3789
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
3791
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
3792
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
3794
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
3795
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
3797
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
3798
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
3801
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
3802
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
3804
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is

3897
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
3898
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
3899
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and

Notes When Upgrading
3947
********************
3949
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
3950
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
3951
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
3952
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
3954
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
3955
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
3957
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
3958
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
3960
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
3961
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
3962
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
3963
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
3964
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
3965
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
3966
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
3967
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
3968
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
3969
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
3970
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
3971
from any tree without problems.
3972
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
3977
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
3978
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
3979
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
3981
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
3982
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
3988
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
3989
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
3990
supported transports.
3993
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
3994
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
3995
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
3997
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
3998
(Robert Collins, #154173)
4000
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
4001
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
4002
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
4003
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
4005
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
4006
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
4011
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
4012
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
4013
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
4014
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4016
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
4017
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
4018
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
4019
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
4021
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
4022
(Robert Collins, #88319)
4024
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
4025
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
4027
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
4028
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
4030
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
4031
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
4037
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
4040
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
4041
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
4044
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
4045
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
4046
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
4047
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
4049
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
4050
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
4051
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
4052
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
4060
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
4061
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
4063
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
4064
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
4066
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
4067
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)

* Catch connection errors for ftp.
4070
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
4072
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.

* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
4084
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
4085
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
4087
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
4088
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.

* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
4095
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)

4103
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between

KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
4106
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend

4110
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
4111
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.

4114
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.

(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
4162
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
4163
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
4165
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
4166
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
4167
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
4168
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
4170
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
4171
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
4173
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
4174
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
4175
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
4177
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
4178
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
4180
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
4181
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
4183
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
4184
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
4189
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
4190
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
4192
* The return value of
4193
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
4194
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
4195
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
4196
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
4198
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
4201
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
4202
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
4209
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
4210
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
4211
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
4214
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
4215
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
4217
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
4226
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)

######################
4235
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
4236
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
4238
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
4239
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
4240
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
4241
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
4242
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
4243
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
4244
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
4245
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
4246
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
4247
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
4248
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
4249
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
4255
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
4256
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
4257
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
4258
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
4259
commands. (Robert Collins)
4261
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
4262
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
4263
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
4266
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
4268
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
4269
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
4271
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
4272
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
4275
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
4276
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
4277
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
4282
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
4283
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
4285
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
4286
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
4288
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
4289
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
4290
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
4291
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
4293
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
4296
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
4297
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
4298
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
4299
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
4301
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
4302
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
4304
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
4305
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
4307
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
4308
the contents. (Robert Collins)
4310
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
4311
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
4316
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
4317
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
4319
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
4320
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
4322
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
4323
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
4325
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
4326
(Martin Pool, #63894)
4328
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
4329
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
4334
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
4336
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
4342
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
4343
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
4344
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
4346
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
4347
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
4349
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
4350
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
4352
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
4353
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
4354
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
4355
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
4357
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
4358
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
4359
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
4360
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
4361
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
4363
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
4364
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
4366
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
4368
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
4370
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
4371
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
4373
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
4374
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
4376
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
4377
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
4379
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
4380
contains a symbolic link.
4381
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
4383
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
4384
(James Westby, #140615)
4386
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
4387
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
4388
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
4390
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
4391
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
4392
(Martin Pool, #144633)
4394
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4396
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
4397
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
4399
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
4401
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
4403
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
4404
directory to detect leaking tests.
4405
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
4407
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
4408
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
4409
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
4411
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
4414
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
4415
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
4417
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
4423
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
4424
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
4426
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
4427
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
4428
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
4430
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
4431
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
4432
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
4434
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
4435
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
4437
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
4438
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
4440
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
4441
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
4444
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
4445
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
4447
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
4448
class that needs it.
4451
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
4452
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
4454
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
4455
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
4456
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
4458
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
4459
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
4460
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
4463
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
4464
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
4465
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
4466
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
4472
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
4473
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
4474
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
4476
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
4477
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
4478
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
4479
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
4481
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
4482
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
4485
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
4486
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
4487
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
4489
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
4490
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
4491
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
4493
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
4494
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
4496
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
4497
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
4498
to complete. (Robert Collins)
4500
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
4501
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
4503
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
4504
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
4505
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
4507
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
4508
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
4509
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
4511
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
4512
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
4513
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
4514
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
4516
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
4517
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
4518
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
4519
returned. (Robert Collins)
4521
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
4522
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
4524
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
4525
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
4526
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
4527
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
4530
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
4531
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
4536
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
4537
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
4539
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
4540
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
4541
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
4542
makes this behavior available to other users.
4545
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
4546
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
4555
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
4556
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
4557
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
4559
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
4561
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
4562
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
4563
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
4564
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
4566
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
4567
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
4571
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
4572
######################
4574
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
4575
in bzrlib/remote.py.
4578
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
4579
######################
4584
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
4585
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
4586
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
4587
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
4590
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
4591
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
4592
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
4598
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
4599
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
4600
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
4603
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
4604
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
4605
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
4607
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
4608
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
4609
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
4611
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
4612
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
4614
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
4615
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
4616
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
4617
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
4618
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
4619
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
4620
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
4621
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
4622
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
4623
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
4625
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
4626
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
4628
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
4629
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
4630
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
4635
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
4636
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
4638
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
4639
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
4640
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
4642
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
4643
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
4645
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
4646
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
4648
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
4651
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
4652
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
4654
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
4655
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
4657
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
4658
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4660
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
4661
(Blake Winton, #129299)
4663
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
4665
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
4668
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
4669
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
4670
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
4671
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
4673
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4675
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
4676
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
4679
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
4680
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
4682
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
4683
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
4686
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
4687
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
4689
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
4690
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
4692
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
4693
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
4694
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
4695
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
4696
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
4697
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
4698
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
4700
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
4701
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
4703
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
4704
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
4706
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
4707
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
4709
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
4710
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
4712
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
4714
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
4716
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
4717
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
4719
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
4720
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
4721
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
4723
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
4724
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
4725
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
4730
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
4731
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4733
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
4736
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.

* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
4740
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
4742
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
4744
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
4745
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
4747
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
4748
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
4750
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
4751
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
4752
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
4753
space). (Robert Collins)
4755
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
4756
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
4759
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
4760
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4762
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
4763
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
4765
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
4766
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
4767
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
4768
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
4770
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
4771
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
4772
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
4775
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
4778
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
4779
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
4780
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
4782
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
4783
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
4784
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
4785
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
4786
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
4791
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
4792
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
4794
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
4795
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
4796
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
4797
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
4798
affected. (Robert Collins)
4800
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
4801
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
4802
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
4805
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
4806
previous release. (Martin Pool)
4811
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
4812
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
4814
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
4815
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4817
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
4818
previous release. (Martin Pool)
4820
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
4823
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
4824
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4829
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
4830
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
4831
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
4832
its version information. (Robert Collins)
4834
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
4835
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4837
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
4838
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
4839
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
4840
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4842
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
4843
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
4844
present. (Robert Collins)
4846
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
4847
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
4848
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
4849
API. (Robert Collins)
4851
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
4852
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
4855
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
4856
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
4858
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
4859
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
4860
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
4861
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
4862
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
4863
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
4865
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
4866
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
4867
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
4869
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
4870
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
4871
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
4872
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
4875
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
4878
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
4879
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
4880
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
4881
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
4882
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
4883
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
4884
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
4886
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
4887
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
4888
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
4889
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
4891
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
4892
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
4893
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
4894
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
4895
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
4896
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
4898
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
4899
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
4900
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
4902
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
4903
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
4912
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
4913
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
4914
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
4915
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
4916
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
4917
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
4918
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
4919
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
4925
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
4926
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
4927
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
4930

4936
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
4937
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
4938
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
4939
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.

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

4945
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
4947
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
4949
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
4950
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
4953
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
4954
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
4957
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
4960
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
4961
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
4963
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
4964
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
4966
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
4967
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
4969
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
4970
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
4972
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
4973
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
4975
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
4981
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
4982
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
4984
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
4985
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
4987
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
4988
the repository (Robert Collins)
4990
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
4991
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
4992
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
4993
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
4994
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
4996
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
4997
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
4999
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
5000
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
5001
(John Arbash Meinel)
5003
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
5004
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
5005
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
5007
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
5008
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
5009
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
5010
(John Arbash Meinel)
5012
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
5013
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
5016
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
5017
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
5019
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
5022
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
5024
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
5026
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
5027
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
5029
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
5030
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
5033
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
5034
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
5035
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
5036
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
5038
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
5039
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
5040
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
5042
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
5043
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
5044
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
5046
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
5047
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
5049
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
5050
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
5051
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
5052
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
5053
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
5054
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
5057
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
5058
(Alexander Belchenko)
5060
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
5061
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
5063
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
5064
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
5066
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
5068
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
5069
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
5074
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
5075
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
5076
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
5077
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
5079
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
5081
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
5084
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
5085
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
5086
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
5087
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
5088
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
5089
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
5094
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
5095
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
5096
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
5097
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
5099
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
5100
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
5101
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
5102
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
5103
tests have been refactored too.
5106
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
5107
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
5108
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
5112
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
5113
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
5114
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
5116
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
5117
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
5118
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
5119
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
5120
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
5121
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
5122
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
5124
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
5125
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
5126
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
5127
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
5128
(John Arbash Meinel)
5130
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
5131
functionality for testing.
5133
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
5135
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
5136
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
5138
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
5140
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
5143
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
5144
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
5146
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
5147
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
5148
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
5150
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
5153
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
5154
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
5156
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
5157
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
5158
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
5159
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
5161
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
5162
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
5164
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
5165
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
5166
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
5168
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
5171
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
5172
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
5173
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
5174
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
5175
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
5176
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
5178
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
5179
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
5180
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
5181
many files. (Robert Collins)
5183
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
5184
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
5185
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
5186
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
5191
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
5192
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
5193
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
5195
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
5196
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
5198
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
5199
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
5200
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

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

* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
5290
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m

* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m

* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
5295
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
5296
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.

Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks

can be slow it is useful feedback).
5300
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
5302
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
5303
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
5305
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
5307
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
5308
output. (Aaron Bentley)
5310
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
5311
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
5314
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
5317
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
5318
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
5320
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
5321
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
5323
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
5324
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
5326
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
5328
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
5329
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
5331
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
5337
* Testing cleanups -
5338
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
5339
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
5340
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
5341
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
5342
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to

``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
5344
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to

5346
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
5347
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
5348
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
5349
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
5350
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
5351
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
5352
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
5353
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
5354
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
5357
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
5359
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
5360
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
5361
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
5363
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
5364
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
5366
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
5367
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5369
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
5371
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
5372
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
5373
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
5374
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
5375
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
5376
same location. (Robert Collins)
5381
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
5383
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
5385
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
5387
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
5390
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
5393
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
5394
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
5395
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
5397
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
5399
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
5400
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
5401
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
5403
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
5404
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
5406
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
5407
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
5408
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
5410
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
5411
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
5412
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
5414
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
5415
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
5416
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
5418
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
5419
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
5422
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
5423
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
5425
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
5426
(Alexander Belchenko)
5431
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
5432
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
5433
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
5434
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
5436
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
5437
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
5438
testing. (Robert Collins)
5440
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
5441
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
5443
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
5444
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
5445
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
5446
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
5447
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
5448
attribute during the test parameterisation in
5449
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
5451
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
5452
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
5453
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
5454
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
5456
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
5457
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
5459
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
5460
avoid useless cloning.

Notes When Upgrading
5481
********************
5483
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
5484
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
5485
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
5486
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
5487
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
5488
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
5489
and unlock() like so::
5491
work_tree.lock_read()
5493
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
5499
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
5500
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
5502
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
5503
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
5504
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
5506
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
5507
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
5508
too. (Robert Collins)
5513
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
5514
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
5517
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
5518
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
5520
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
5521
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
5523
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
5524
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
5525
understanding what changes have occurred
5526
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
5528
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
5529
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
5530
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
5532
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
5533
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
5534
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
5535
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
5537
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
5543
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
5544
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
5545
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
5546
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
5547
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
5549
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
5550
based on split paths, not just string paths.
5551
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
5553
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
5554
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
5556
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
5558
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
5560
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
5561
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
5563
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
5564
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
5566
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
5567
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
5569
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
5570
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
5572
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
5573
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
5575
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
5576
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
5577
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
5580
####################
5585
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
5586
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
5587
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
5588
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
5589
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
5591
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
5592
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
5593
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
5595
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
5596
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
5601
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
5602
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
5603
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
5605
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
5606
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
5607
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
5608
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
5610
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
5611
#######################
5616
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
5617
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
5618
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
5619
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
5621
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
5622
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
5623
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
5625
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
5626
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
5628
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
5629
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
5631
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
5632
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

5637
Notes When Upgrading
5638
********************
5640
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
5641
it could be recovered again.
5642
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
5643
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
5644
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
5646
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
5648
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
5649
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
5654
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
5655
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
5657
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
5658
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
5659
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
5660
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
5662
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
5663
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
5665
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
5666
tests with names that match that regular expression.
5667
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
5669
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
5670
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
5671
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
5673
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
5674
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
5675
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
5677
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
5678
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
5681
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
5684
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
5685
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
5686
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
5687
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
5689
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
5692
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
5693
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
5694
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
5697
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
5698
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
5700
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
5701
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
5703
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
5704
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
5705
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
5706
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
5709
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
5710
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
5712
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
5713
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
5715
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
5716
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
5717
(Robert Collins, #107125).
5719
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
5720
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
5721
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
5723
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
5724
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
5725
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5727
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
5728
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
5729
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
5730
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
5732
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
5733
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
5734
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
5735
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
5737
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
5738
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
5739
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
5740
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
5741
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
5742
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
5743
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
5744
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
5751
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
5752
code paths. (Robert Collins)
5754
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
5755
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
5756
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
5757
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
5758
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5760
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
5761
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
5763
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
5764
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
5766
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
5767
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
5769
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
5770
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
5772
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
5773
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
5774
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
5777
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
5778
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
5779
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
5780
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
5781
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
5784
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
5785
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
5786
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
5788
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
5789
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
5792
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
5793
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
5794
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
5797
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
5798
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
5799
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
5800
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
5801
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
5803
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
5804
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
5805
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
5806
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5808
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
5809
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
5811
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
5812
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
5813
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
5814
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
5815
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
5816
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
5818
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
5819
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
5821
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
5822
help. (Robert Collins)
5824
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
5825
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
5827
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
5828
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
5829
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
5830
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
5831
(John Arbash Meinel)
5833
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
5834
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
5835
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
5836
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
5837
useful. (Robert Collins)
5839
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
5845
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
5846
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
5848
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
5849
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
5851
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
5852
properly and is no longer beneficial.
5853
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
5855
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
5858
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
5859
the file, and does it faster.
5860
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
5862
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
5863
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
5864
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
5866
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
5867
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
5868
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
5869
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
5871
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
5872
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
5873
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
5874
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
5876
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
5877
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
5879
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
5880
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
5881
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
5882
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
5885
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
5887
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
5888
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
5890
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
5891
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
5893
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
5894
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
5895
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
5896
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
5900
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
5901
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
5906
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
5907
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
5908
in running it. (Robert Collins)
5910
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
5911
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
5913
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
5914
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
5915
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
5916
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
5917
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
5918
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
5919
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
5920
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5922
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
5923
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
5924
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5926
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
5927
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
5928
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
5929
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
5930
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
5932
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5934
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
5935
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
5936
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
5938
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
5939
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
5948
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
5951
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
5952
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
5955
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
5956
#######################
5961
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
5962
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
5968
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
5969
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
5970
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
5971
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
5972
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
5973
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
5974
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
5975
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
5981
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
5982
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
5983
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
5985
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
5986
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
5989
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
5990
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
5991
(John Arbash Meinel)
5993
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
5994
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
5995
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
5996
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
5997
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
6002
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
6005
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
6006
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
6008
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
6009
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
6011
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
6012
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
6013
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
6015
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
6016
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
6018
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
6019
last-changed-revision for directories. The
6020
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
6021
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
6022
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
6024
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
6025
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
6026
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
6028
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

#######################
6034
Notes When Upgrading
6035
********************
6037
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
6038
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
6039
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
6044
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
6045
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
6047
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
6048
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
6050
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
6052
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
6053
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
6055
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
6056
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
6061
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
6067
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
6068
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
6069
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
6070
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
6072
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
6073
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
6075
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
6076
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
6078
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
6081
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
6082
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
6085
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
6086
#######################
6091
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
6092
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
6093
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
6094
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
6095
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
6096
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
6098
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
6099
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
6100
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
6101
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
6102
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
6103
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
6105
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
6107
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
6108
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
6109
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
6110
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
6111
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
6112
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
6113
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
6114
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
6119
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
6120
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
6122
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
6123
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
6124
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
6125
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
6127
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
6128
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
6129
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
6130
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
6131
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
6133
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
6136
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
6139
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
6142
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
6143
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
6146
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
6149
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
6150
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
6152
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
6153
directory. (Martin Pool)
6155
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
6156
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
6157
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
6158
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
6160
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
6161
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
6162
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
6163
in docs/configuration.txt.
6165
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
6166
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
6169
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
6170
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
6171
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
6172
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
6173
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
6174
repositories. (Martin Pool)
6176
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
6177
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
6179
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
6180
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
6182
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
6188
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
6189
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
6190
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
6191
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
6192
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
6193
(John Arbash Meinel)
6195
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
6196
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
6199
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
6200
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
6201
(John Arbash Meinel)
6203
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
6204
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
6205
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
6206
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
6207
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
6208
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
6210
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
6211
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
6212
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
6214
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
6215
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
6216
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
6217
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
6219
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6221
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
6222
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
6223
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
6224
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
6226
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
6227
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
6228
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
6229
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
6231
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
6232
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
6233
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
6235
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
6236
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
6237
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
6239
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
6240
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
6241
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
6242
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
6244
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
6245
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
6246
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
6248
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
6249
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
6250
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
6252
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
6253
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
6254
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
6255
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
6256
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
6257
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
6258
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
6259
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
6260
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
6261
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
6262
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
6267
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
6268
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
6269
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
6271
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
6274
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
6275
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
6276
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
6277
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
6279
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
6280
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
6283
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
6284
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
6286
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
6288
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
6289
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
6290
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
6292
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
6293
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
6295
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
6296
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
6298
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
6299
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
6301
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
6302
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
6304
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
6306
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
6307
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
6312
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
6313
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
6317
####################
6322
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
6327
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
6328
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
6329
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
6331
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
6332
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
6333
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
6336
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
6337
#######################
6342
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
6343
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
6344
server, then you can write over the http connection.
6345
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
6347
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
6350
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
6351
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
6352
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
6354
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
6355
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
6357
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
6360
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
6361
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
6362
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
6363
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
6364
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
6365
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
6367
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
6368
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
6369
should enable you to do::
6371
[/home/user/project]
6372
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
6373
push_location:policy = appendpath
6375
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
6376
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
6379
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
6380
for each file. For example::
6382
$ bzr status --short
6388
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
6389
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
6391
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
6393
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
6394
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
6396
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
6401
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
6402
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
6403
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
6404
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
6406
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
6407
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
6408
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
6410
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
6412
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
6413
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
6414
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
6415
(Alexander Belchenko)
6417

* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
6421
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
6423
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
6428
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
6429
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
6431
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
6432
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
6433
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
6434
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
6435
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
6437
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
6438
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
6440
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
6441
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
6443
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
6445
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
6447
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
6448
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
6449
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
6450
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
6451
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
6453
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
6454
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
6455
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
6456
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
6458
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils

6483
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
6485
(Daniel Silverstone)
6487
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
6488
operations are substantially faster.
6489
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
6491
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
6492
tree from some other url. For example:
6493
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
6494
(Daniel Silverstone)
6496
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
6497
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
6498
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
6499
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
6501
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
6504
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
6505
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
6506
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
6507
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
6508
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
6509
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
6514
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
6515
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
6518
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
6519
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
6520
(John Arbash Meinel)
6522
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
6523
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
6524
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
6525
(John Arbash Meinel)
6527
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
6528
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
6530
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
6531
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
6533
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
6534
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
6540
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
6541
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
6542
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
6544
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
6545
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
6546
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
6547
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
6549
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
6551
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
6552
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
6554
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
6555
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
6556
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
6557
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
6559
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
6560
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
6561
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
6563
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
6564
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
6565
them as full references rather than integers.
6566
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
6568
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
6569
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
6571
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
6573
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
6574
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
6576
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
6577
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
6579
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
6580
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
6581
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
6582
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
6584
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
6585
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
6586
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
6588
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
6589
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
6591
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
6592
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
6593
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
6594
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
6595
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)

* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
6601
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

#######################
6619
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
6620
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
6621
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
6622
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
6624
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
6625
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
6627
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
6629
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
6630
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
6631
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
6632
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
6634
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
6635
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
6636
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
6637
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
6638
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
6643
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
6644
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
6649
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
6650
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
6651
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
6653
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
6654
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
6655
(John Arbash Meinel)
6657
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
6658
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
6659
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
6661
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
6662
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
6665
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
6666
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
6667
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6669
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
6670
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
6671
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
6672
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
6673
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
6674
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6676
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
6677
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
6678
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
6681
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
6682
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
6687
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
6688
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
6689
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
6692
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
6693
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
6695
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
6696
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
6697
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
6699
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
6700
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
6702
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
6703
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
6704
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
6705
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
6707
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
6708
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
6710
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
6711
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
6712
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
6714
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
6715
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
6717
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
6719
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
6720
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
6726
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
6727
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
6728
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
6729
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
6731
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
6732
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
6733
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)

6757
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
6758
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
6759
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
6760
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
6761
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
6762
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
6763
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
6765
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
6766
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
6767
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
6769
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
6771
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
6772
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
6774
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
6775
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
6776
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
6779
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
6780
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
6781
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
6782
(John Arbash Meinel)
6784
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
6785
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
6786
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
6787
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
6790
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
6791
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
6792
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
6793
(John Arbash Meinel)
6798
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
6799
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
6801
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
6803
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
6804
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
6805
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
6807
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
6808
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)

* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
6811

6816
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
6817
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
6819
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
6821
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
6822
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
6824
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
6825
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
6827
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
6828
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
6830
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
6831
(John Arbash Meinel)
6833
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
6834
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
6835
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
6837
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
6838
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
6840
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
6841
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
6842
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
6843
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
6845
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
6846
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
6847
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
6849
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
6850
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
6855
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
6860
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
6861
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
6862
(John Arbash Meinel)
6864
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
6865
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
6866
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
6867
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
6869
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
6872
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
6873
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
6874
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
6876
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
6877
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
6879
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
6880
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
6881
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
6883
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
6884
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
6885
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
6886
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
6887
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
6888
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
6889
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
6890
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
6891
caller to repeat their request.
6892
(John Arbash Meinel)
6894
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
6895
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
6897
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
6898
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
6900
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
6901
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
6902
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
6903
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
6904
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
6905
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
6906
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
6908
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
6909
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
6910
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
6911
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
6912
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
6913
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
6914
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
6915
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
6918
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
6919
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
6920
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
6922
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
6923
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
6925
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
6926
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
6928
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
6929
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
6934
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
6935
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
6937
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
6938
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
6939
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
6941
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
6942
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
6943
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)

* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
6960
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
6961
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
6963
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
6964
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
6966
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
6967
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
6968
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6973
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
6975
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
6976
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
6977
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
6979
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
6981
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
6983
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
6984
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
6985
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
6986
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
6988
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
6989
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
6990
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
6991
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
6992
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
6994
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
6995
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
6997
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
6998
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
7000
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
7001
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
7003
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
7004
in handling of revision properties.
7005
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
7007
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
7008
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
7013
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
7014
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
7015
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
7016
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
7017
(John Arbash Meinel)
7019
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
7020
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
7021
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
7023
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
7024
#####################
7029
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
7030
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
7031
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
7032
specific one '.bzrignore'.
7033
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
7034
a more conservative list than the old default.
7035
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
7036
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
7037
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
7038
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
7040
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
7041
to more locations than just branch locations.
7047
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
7048
revno:N:branch. For example,
7049
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
7050
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
7052
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
7053
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
7054
the path of a file that has been versioned.
7055
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
7056
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
7057
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
7058
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
7059
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
7062
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
7063
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
7064
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
7067
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
7068
(Alexander Belchenko)
7070
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
7072
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
7075
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
7076
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
7077
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
7078
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
7079
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
7080
(John Arbash Meinel)
7082
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
7083
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
7084
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
7085
grained analysis of performance.
7086
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
7088
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
7089
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
7091
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
7092
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
7093
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
7094
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
7095
file. (Robert Collins).
7097
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
7098
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
7099
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
7101
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
7102
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
7105
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
7106
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
7108
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
7109
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
7110
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
7111
the same way you would apply another branch.
7112
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
7114
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
7115
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
7117
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
7120
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
7123
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
7124
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
7125
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
7127
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
7128
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
7129
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
7131
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
7132
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
7134
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
7135
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
7136
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
7137
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
7138
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
7140
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
7141
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
7143
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
7144
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
7145
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
7146
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
7147
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
7148
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
7149
branch is as much as 4x faster.
7150
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
7152
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
7153
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
7154
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
7159
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
7161
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
7163
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
7164
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
7166
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
7167
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
7169
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
7170
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
7172
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
7174
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
7175
(John Arbash Meinel)
7177
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
7178
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
7180
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
7181
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
7184
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
7185
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
7187
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
7188
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
7190
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
7191
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
7192
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
7193
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
7195
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
7196
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
7198
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
7200
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
7201
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
7203
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
7205
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
7207
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
7208
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
7210
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
7211
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
7213
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
7214
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
7215
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
7217
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
7218
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
7219
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
7221
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
7222
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
7224
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
7225
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
7227
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
7228
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
7230
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
7231
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
7233
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
7234
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
7236
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
7237
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
7238
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
7240
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
7242
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
7243
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
7248
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
7249
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
7250
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
7252
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
7253
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
7255
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
7256
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
7257
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
7259
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
7260
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
7262
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
7263
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
7266
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
7267
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
7268
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
7270
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
7271
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
7272
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
7274
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
7275
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
7276
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
7278
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
7279
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
7280
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
7282
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
7283
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
7284
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
7286
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
7287
instead. (Robert Collins)
7289
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

7356
Notes When Upgrading
7357
********************
7359
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
7360
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
7361
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
7362
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
7363
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
7364
will keep the same format.
7366
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
7367
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
7368
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
7369
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
7370
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
7372
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
7373
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
7374
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
7375
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
7376
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
7377
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
7378
indicating the current revision of the branch.
7380
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
7381
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
7382
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
7383
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
7384
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
7386
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
7387
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
7388
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
7395
* sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
7396
convention. Paths now take the form::
7398
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
7400
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
7402
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
7403
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
7405
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
7406
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
7407
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
7409
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
7410
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
7411
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
7412
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
7414
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
7415
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
7416
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
7418
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
7420
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
7422
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
7423
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
7426
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
7427
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
7430
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
7432
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
7433
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
7434
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
7437
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
7439
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
7441
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
7444
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
7445
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
7447
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
7448
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
7451
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
7452
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
7455
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
7457
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
7459
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
7460
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
7462
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
7463
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
7464
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
7465
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
7466
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
7467
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
7469
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
7471
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
7472
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
7475
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
7476
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
7478
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
7479
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
7481
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
7483
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
7484
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
7485
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
7486
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
7487
specification by Martin Pool.
7488
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
7490
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
7493
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
7494
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
7496
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
7497
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
7498
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
7500
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
7502
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
7503
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
7509
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
7510
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
7512
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
7514
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
7516
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
7519
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
7520
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
7521
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
7522
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
7527
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
7528
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
7529
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
7530
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
7532
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
7533
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
7534
tried. (Martin Pool)
7536
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
7539
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
7541
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
7542
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
7543
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
7545
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
7546
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
7548
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
7549
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
7550
paths. (Robert Collins)
7552
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
7553
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
7554
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
7556
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
7557
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
7558
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
7560
* Progress bars are now nested - see
7561
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
7562
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
7564
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
7567
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
7570
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
7572
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
7574
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
7575
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
7576
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
7579
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
7580
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
7582
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
7583
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
7584
check. (Robert Collins)
7586
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
7587
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
7592
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
7593
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
7595
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
7596
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
7597
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
7598
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
7600
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
7601
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
7602
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
7603
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
7604
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
7606
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
7607
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
7608
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
7610
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
7612
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
7613
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
7621
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
7622
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
7624
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
7625
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
7626
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
7629
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
7630
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
7632
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
7633
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
7634
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
7635
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
7636
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
7638
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
7639
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
7640
used. (Robert Collins)
7642
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
7643
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
7646
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
7647
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
7648
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
7650
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
7653
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
7654
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
7659
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
7660
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
7662
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
7664
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
7666
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
7667
tree. (Robert Collins)
7669
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
7670
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
7671
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
7674
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
7677
* Tweaks to short log printing
7679
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
7682
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
7683
occurs. (Martin Pool)
7685
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
7686
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
7688
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
7689
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
7691
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
7692
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
7693
settings. (Magnus Therning)
7695
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
7696
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
7698
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
7699
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
7702
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
7703
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
7705
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
7706
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
7708
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
7709
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
7711
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
7714
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
7715
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
7717
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
7718
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
7720
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
7721
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
7722
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
7727
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
7729
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
7731
* Error when run with -OO
7733
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
7736
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
7738
* Change status to 3 for all errors
7740
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
7741
ignored by diff and status
7743
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
7744
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
7746
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
7748
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
7750
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
7751
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
7753
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
7754
email address. (Marien Zwart)
7756
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
7759
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
7760
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
7762
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
7764
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
7765
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
7767
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
7770
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
7771
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
7773
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
7778
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
7779
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
7781
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
7783
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
7785
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
7787
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
7788
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
7789
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
7791
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
7793
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
7794
(John Arbash Meinel)
7796
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
7798
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
7799
If adding a new test script please add that to
7800
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
7802
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
7803
imported. (Martin Pool)
7805
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
7806
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
7807
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
7808
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
7809
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
7812
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
7813
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
7814
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
7816
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
7817
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
7818
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
7820
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
7821
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
7822
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
7823
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
7824
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
7827
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
7828
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
7834
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
7835
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
7837
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
7838
function. (Robert Collins)
7840
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
7841
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
7842
if needed). (Robert Collins)
7844
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
7845
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
7848
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
7849
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
7850
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
7851
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
7852
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
7853
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
7854
version. (Robert Collins)
7856
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
7857
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
7859
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
7860
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
7861
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
7862
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
7863
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
7864
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
7866
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
7869
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
7879
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
7881
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
7883
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
7886
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
7887
query method. (Robert Collins)
7889
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
7892
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
7895
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
7898
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
7899
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
7900
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
7901
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
7903
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
7904
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
7905
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
7906
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
7908
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
7909
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
7917
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
7920
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
7924
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
7925
a separator, not ':'.
7928
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
7929
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
7930
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
7932
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
7933
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
7936
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
7937
has been added that suppresses all output.
7939
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
7942
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
7943
Goffredo Baroncelli.
7945
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
7946
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
7948
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
7949
a revision. (Robert Collins)
7951
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
7952
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
7953
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
7954
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
7956
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
7958
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
7959
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
7961
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
7962
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
7964
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
7965
output directory, if one was supplied.
7967
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
7968
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
7969
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
7970
parameters. (Robert Collins)
7972
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
7974
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
7975
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
7977
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
7978
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
7979
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
7981
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
7982
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
7984
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
7987
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
7989
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
7994
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
7995
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
7996
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
7998
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
7999
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
8000
related questions. (Robert Collins)
8002
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
8003
is given. (Martin Pool)
8005
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
8006
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
8007
file. (Robert Collins)
8009
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
8015
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
8016
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
8017
representation. (Martin Pool).
8019
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
8020
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
8021
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
8023
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
8026
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
8027
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
8030
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
8031
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
8032
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
8033
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
8034
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
8036
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
8037
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
8038
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
8039
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
8040
python path. (Robert Collins)
8042
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
8043
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
8044
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
8045
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
8047
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
8048
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
8050
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
8051
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
8054
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
8055
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
8056
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
8058
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
8059
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
8060
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
8062
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
8063
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
8065
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
8066
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
8067
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
8070
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
8071
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
8072
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
8073
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
8076
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
8079
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
8080
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
8083
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
8084
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
8085
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
8087
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
8088
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
8089
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
8091
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
8092
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
8093
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
8095
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
8096
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
8098
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
8099
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
8100
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
8101
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
8102

8104
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
8105
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
8108
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
8109
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
8112
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
8114
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
8115
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
8120
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.

####################
8133
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
8134
allow directories to be listed.
8136
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
8137
upgrading branch format.
8142
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
8151
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
8152
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
8153
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
8154
high-latency connections.
8159
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
8162
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
8163
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
8165
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
8166
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
8167
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
8168
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
8170
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
8171
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
8173
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
8174
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
8176
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
8177
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
8178
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
8180
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
8181
for files with only a change to their executable status.
8182
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
8185
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
8186
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
8188
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
8189
different partial views of history.
8191
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
8192
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
8197
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
8198
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
8199
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
8201
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
8202
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
8205
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
8206
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
8208
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
8211
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
8212
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
8214
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
8215
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
8216
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
8217
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
8219
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
8221
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
8222
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
8225
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
8226
Contributed by Robert Collins.
8228
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
8229
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
8230
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
8236
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
8237
for your viewing pleasure.
8239
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
8240
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
8242
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
8243
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
8244
handling of such circumstances.
8246
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
8247
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
8248
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
8250
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
8252
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
8253
we call them revisions not patches.
8255
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
8256
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
8258
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
8259
giving the revision *of that file*.
8261
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
8262
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
8263
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
8268
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
8269
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
8271
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
8272
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``

* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
8286
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
8288
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
8290
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
8291
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
8296
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
8297
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
8299
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
8300
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
8301
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
8302
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by

* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
8306
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.

8314
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)

bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20

####################
8323
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
8324
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
8325
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
8326
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
8329
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
8332
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
8333
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
8334
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
8335
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
8336
for the operating system is still tried.
8338
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
8339
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
8340
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
8346
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
8351
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
8353
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
8356
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be

####################
8374
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
8375
help with intelligent shell completion.
8377
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
8383
* Much better merge support.
8385
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
8386
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
8393
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
8394
mention revisions that are not present.
8396
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
8398
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
8400
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
8401
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
8407
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
8409
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
8410
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle

* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
8418
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by

####################
8429
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
8430
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
8432
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
8434
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
8435
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
8437
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
8440
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
8442
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
8445
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
8446
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
8448
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
8449
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
8450
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
8456
* Faster working tree operations.
8462
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
8463
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
8464
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
8465
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
8467
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
8468
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
8469
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
8470
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
8471
standard plugins directory.
8473
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
8474
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
8475
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
8476
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
8478
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
8479
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
8481
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
8484
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
8485
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
8486
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
8488
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
8489
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
8491
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
8492
line options must come before the command name because they
8493
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
8494
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
8497
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
8499
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
8500
is available with ``--short``.

* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.

#####################
8515
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
8516
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
8518
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
8519
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
8520
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
8521
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
8523
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
8524
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
8525
with the ``--forward`` option.
8527
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
8528
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
8535
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
8536
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
8538
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
8540
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
8541
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
8543
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
8545
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
8546
either read or write mode.
8548
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
8550
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
8553
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
8555
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
8556
suggested by LarstiQ.
8558
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
8559
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
8561
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
8564
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
8565
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
8567
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
8568
haven't changed since the previous time.
8570
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
8571
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
8573
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
8575
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
8577
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
8578
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
8580
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
8581
options through to an external GNU diff.
8583
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not

* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
8594
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
8596
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
8603
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
8604
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
8607
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
8608
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
8610
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
8611
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
8613
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
8614
under a different version.
8616
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
8622
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
8624
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
8625
Scott James Remnant.
8627
* Better help messages for many commands.
8629
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
8630
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
8632
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
8633
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
8635
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
8637
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.

* New AtomicFile class.
8641
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
