Compatibility Breaks
13
********************
14
15
* A previously disabled code path to accelerate getting configuration
16
settings from a smart server has been reinstated. We think this *may*
17
cause a incompatibility with servers older than bzr 0.15. We intend
18
to issue a point release to address this if it turns out to be a
19
problem. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
20
21
* bzr no longer autodetects nested trees as 'tree-references'. They
22
must now be explicitly added tree references. At the commandline, use
23
join --reference instead of add. (Aaron Bentley)
24
25
* The ``--long`` log format (the default) no longer shows merged
26
revisions implicitly, making it consistent with the ``short`` and
27
``line`` log formats. To see merged revisions for just a given
28
revision, use ``bzr log -n0 -rX``. To see every merged revision,
29
use ``bzr log -n0``. (Ian Clatworthy)
30
31
New Features
32
************
33
34
* New formats ``1.14`` and ``1.14-rich-root`` supporting End-Of-Line
35
(EOL) conversions, keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin)
36
and generic content filtering. These formats replace the experimental
37
``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root`` formats
38
respectively, but have support for filtered views disabled.
39
(Ian Clatworthy)
40
41
* New ``mv --auto`` option recognizes renames after they occur.
42
(Aaron Bentley)
43
44
* ``bzr`` can now get passwords from stdin without requiring a controlling
45
terminal (i.e. by redirecting stdin). (Vincent Ladeuil)
46
47
* ``bzr log`` now supports filtering of multiple files and directories
48
and will show changes that touch any of them. Furthermore,
49
directory filtering now shows the changes to any children of that
50
directory, not just the directory object itself.
51
(Ian Clatworthy, #97715)
52
53
* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the
54
shelf, via the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
55
56
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
57
(Aaron bentley)
58
59
* ``bzr xxx --usage`` where xxx is a command now shows a usage
60
message and the options without the descriptive help sections
61
(like Description and Examples). A message is also given
62
explaining how to see the complete help, i.e. ``bzr help xxx``.
63
(Ian Clatworthy)
64
65
* Content filters can now be used to provide custom conversion
66
between the canonical format of content (i.e. as stored) and
67
the convenience format of content (i.e. as created in working
68
trees). See ``bzr help content-filters`` for further details.
69
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
70
71
* End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting
72
content filtering. See ``bzr help eol`` for details.
73
(Ian Clatworthy)
74
75
Improvements
76
************
77
78
* A new format name alias ``default-rich-root`` has been added and
79
points at the closest relative of the default format that supports
80
rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
81
82
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
83
the data when the target repository does not need topological
84
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
85
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
86
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
87
88
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
89
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
90
(Ian Clatworthy)
91
92
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
93
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
94
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
95
96
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
97
(Ian Clatworthy)
98
99
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
100
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
101
102
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server
103
now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
104
#294479)
105
106
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
107
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
108
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
109
110
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
111
to "Ignoring files outside view. View is .." to reduce confusion
112
about what was being considered and what was being ignored.
113
(Ian Clatworthy)
114
115
* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
116
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
117
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
118
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
119
120
* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!
121
(Jonathan Lange)
122
123
Bug Fixes
124
*********
125
126
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
127
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
128
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
129
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
130
131
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log
132
-m``. (Anne Mohsen, Martin Pool)
133
134
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
135
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
136
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
137
138
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
139
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
140
141
* Fixed "Specified file 'x/y/z' is outside current view: " occurring
142
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
143
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
144
145
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
146
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
147
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
148
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
149
150
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
151
152
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
153
(Vincent Ladeuil, #346593)
154
155
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
156
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
157
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
158
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
159
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
160
161
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
162
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
163
(Andrea Bolognani)
164
165
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
166
(James Westby, #341558)
167
168
* The help for the ``info`` command has been corrected.
169
(Ian Clatworthy, #351931)
170
171
* Upgrade will now use a sensible default format if the source repository
172
uses rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #252908)
173
174
Documentation
175
*************
176
177
* Expanded the index of the developer documentation. (Eric Siegerman)
178
179
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
180
181
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.
182
(James Westby, #336998)
183
184
API Changes
185
***********
186
187
* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous verisons of bzr are now removed.
188
(Martin Pool)
189
190
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
191
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
192
(Robert Collins)
193
194
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
195
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
196
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
197
198
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
199
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
200
Meinel, Robert Collins)
201
202
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
203
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
204
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
205
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
206
(Ian Clatworthy)
207
208
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
209
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
210
(Jean-Francois Roy)
211
212
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
213
(Martin Pool)
214
215
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
216
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
217
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
218
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
219
220
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
221
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
222
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
223
224
Testing
225
*******
226
227
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
228
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
229
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
230
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
231
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
232
233
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
234
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
235
236
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
237
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
238
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
239
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
240
(Vincent Ladeuil)
241
242
Internals
243
*********
244
245
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
246
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
247
streaming on the the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
248
249
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
250
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
251
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
252
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
253
254
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
255
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
256
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
257
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
258
259
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
260
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
261
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
262
263
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
264
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
265
dependency. (Robert Collins)
266
267
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
268
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
269
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
270
271
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
272
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
273
(Robert Collins)
274
275
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
276
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
277
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
278
279
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
280
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
281
282
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
283
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
284
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
285
286
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
287
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
288
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
289
290
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
291
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
292
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
293
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
294
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
295
296
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
297
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
298
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
299
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
300
301
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
302
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
303
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
304
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
305
306
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
307
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
308
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
309
310
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
311
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
312
(Andrew Bennetts)
313
314
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
315
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
316
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
317
318
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
319
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
320
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
321
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
322
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
323
324
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
325
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only linux
326
machine work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,
327
Vincent Ladeuil)
328
329
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
330
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
331
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
332
desired. (Robert Collins)
333
334
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include
335
information about ghosts when the special revision ``include-missing:``
336
is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
337
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
338
339
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
340
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
341
regardless of ``InterRepository``.
342
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)

Changes From 1.13 to 1.13.1
357
***************************
358
A couple regessions where found in the 1.13 release. The pyrex-generated C
359
extensions are missing from the .tar.gz and .zip files. Documentation on how
360
to generate GNU ChangeLogs is wrong.
361
362
Bug Fixes
363
*********
364
365
* Change ``./bzr``'s ``_script_version`` to match ./bzrlib/__init__.py
366
version_info. (Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, #345232)
367
368
* Distribution archives for 1.13 do not contain generated C extension modules
369
(Jean-Francois Roy, Bob Tanner, #344465)
370
371
* GNU ChangeLog output can now be produced by bzr log --format gnu-changelog is
372
incorrect (Deejay, Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #343928)
373
374
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
375
376
Changes From RC1 to Final
377
*************************
378
379
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
380
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
381
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
382
383
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
384
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
385
386
Compatibility Breaks
387
********************
388
389
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
390
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
391
command may need to be adjusted.
392
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
393
394
New Features
395
************
396
397
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
398
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
399
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
400
401
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
402
(Martin Pool)
403
404
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
405
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
406
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
407
(Ian Clatworthy)
408
409
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
410
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
411
412
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
413
(John Arbash Meinel)
414
415
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
416
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
417
418
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernoij)
419
420
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
421
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
422
(Jonathan Lange)
423
424
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
425
(Jonathan Lange)
426
427
Improvements
428
************
429
430
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
431
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
432
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
433
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
434
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
435
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
436
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
437
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
438
(Robert Collins)
439
440
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
441
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
442
443
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
444
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
445
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
446
447
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
448
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
449
450
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
451
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
452
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
453
(Ian Clatworthy)
454
455
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
456
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
457
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
458
459
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
460
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
461
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
462
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
463
464
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
465
(Jelmer Vernooij)
466
467
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
468
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
469
470
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
471
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
472
473
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
474
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
475
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
476
477
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
478

Bug Fixes
480
*********
481
482
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
483
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
484
485
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
486
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
487
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
488
489
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
490
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
491
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
492
493
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
494
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
495
496
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
497
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
498
Vernooij, #315048)
499
500
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
501
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
502
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
503
504
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
505
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
506
507
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
508
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
509
510
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
511
(James Westby, #174539)
512
513
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
514
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
515
516
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
517
error branching from old repositories.
518
(Martin Pool, #321695)
519
520
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
521
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
522
523
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
524
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
525
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
526
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
527
528
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
529
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko)
530
531
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
532
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
533
534
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
535
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
536
537
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
538
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
539
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
540
541
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
542
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
543
544
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.

552
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
553
(Ian Clatworthy)
554
555
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
556
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
557

API Changes
562
***********
563
564
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
565
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
566
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
567
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
568
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
569
570
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
571
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
572
573
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
574
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
575
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
576
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
577
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
578
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
579
580
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
581
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
582
583
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
584
"author" argument being deprecated.
585
586
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
587
588
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
589
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
590
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
591
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
592
593
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
594
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
595
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
596
597
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
598
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
599
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
600
601
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
602
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
603
604
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
605
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
606
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
607
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
608
609
Internals
610
*********
611
612
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
613
free of virtual file system methods.
614
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
615
616
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
617
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
618
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
619
620
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
621
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
622
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
623
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
624
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
625
(Robert Collins, #334187)
626
627
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
628
629
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
630
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
631
632
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
633
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
634
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
635
stream the operation.
636
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
637
638
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
639
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
640
641
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
642
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
643
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
644
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
645
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
646
647
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
648
branch object. (Robert Collins)
649
650
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
651
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
652
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
653
654
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
655
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
656
(Robert Collins)
657
658
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
659
(Robert Collins)
660
661
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
662
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
663
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
664
665
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
666
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
667
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
668
669
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
670
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
671
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
672
673
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
674
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
675
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
676
677
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
678
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
679
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
680
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
681
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
682
683
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
684
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
685
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
686
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
687
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
688
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
689
690
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
691
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
692
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
693
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
694
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
695
696
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
697
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
698
699
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
700
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
701
702
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
703
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
704
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
705
to access private data in record to obtain content more
706
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
707
708
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
709
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.

This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
721
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
722
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
723
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
724
by showing the rate of network IO.

Changes from RC1 to Final
727
*************************
728
729
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
730
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
731
732
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
733
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
734
735
Compatibility Breaks
736
********************
737
738
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
739
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
740
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
741
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
742
743
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
744
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
745
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
746
(Ian Clatworthy)
747
748
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
749
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
750
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
751
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
752
753
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
754
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
755
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
756
(Ian Clatworthy)
757
758
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
759
760
New Features
761
************
762
763
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
764
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
765
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
766
(Marius Kruger)
767
768
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
769
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
770
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
771
772
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
773
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
774
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
775
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
776
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
777
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
778
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
779
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
780
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
781
(Ian Clatworthy)

783
Improvements
784
************
785
786
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
787
(Daniel Watkins)
788
789
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
790
(Marius Kruger)
791
792
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
793
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
794
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
795
796
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
797
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
798
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
799
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
800
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
801
802
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
803
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
804
805
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
806
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
807
level for better precision.
808
(Vincent Ladeuil)
809
810
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
811
rules. (Marius Kruger)
812
813
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
814
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
815
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
816
817
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
818
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
819
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
820
(Andrew Bennetts)
821
822
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
823
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
824
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
825

Bug Fixes
827
*********
828
829
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
830
anymore.
831
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
832
833
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
834
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
835
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
836
837
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
838
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
839
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
840
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
841
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
842
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
843
844
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
845
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
846
847
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
848
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
849
850
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
851
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
852
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
853
854
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
855
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
856
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
857
(Andrew Bennetts)
858
859
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
860
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
861
862
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
863
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
864
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
865
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
866
867
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
868
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
869
handled.
870
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
871
872
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)

* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
890

* Revision specifiers are now registered in
896
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
897
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
898
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)

907
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb

909
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
910
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
911
compile buffers, are such an example).
912
(Vincent Ladeuil)
913
914
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
915
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
916
(Ian Clatworthy)
917
918
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
919
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
920
efficient way of doing the mapping.
921
(Ian Clatworthy)
922
923
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
924
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
925
926
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
927
formatters to retrict the output.

##############################

934
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
935
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
936
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
937
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
938
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
939
940
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
941
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
942
advice.
943
944
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
945
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.

*******
963
964
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
965
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
966
967
New Features
968
************
969
970
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
971
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
972
973
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
974
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
975
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
976
implement other plugins.
977
(Vincent Ladeuil)
978
979
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
980
(Aaron Bentley)
981
982
Improvements
983
************
984
985
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
986
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
987
988
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
989
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
990
991
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
992
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
993
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
994
processes which drag in shell extensions.
995
(Mark Hammond)
996
997
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
998
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
999
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
1000
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
1001
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
1002
1003
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
1004
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
1005
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
1006
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
1007
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
1008
1009
Bug Fixes
1010
*********
1011
1012
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
1013
control directory. (#139691)
1014
1015
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
1016
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
1017
1018
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
1019
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
1020
1021
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
1022
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
1023
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
1024
1025
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
1026
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
1027
1028
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
1029
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
1030
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
1031
1032
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
1033
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
1034
1035
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
1036
(Jari Aalto)
1037
1038
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
1039
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
1040
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
1041
1042
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
1043
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
1044
1045
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
1046
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
1047
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
1048
1049
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
1050
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
1051
in the appropriate sections.
1052
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
1053
1054
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
1055
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
1056
(John Arbash meinel)
1057
1058
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
1059
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
1060
1061
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
1062
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
1063
1064
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
1065
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1066
1067
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
1068
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
1069
work better with how it splits its requests.
1070
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
1071
1072
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
1073
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
1074
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
1075
1076
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
1077
(Aaron Bentley)
1078
1079
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
1080
1081
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
1082
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
1083
1084
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
1085
Duffy, #314251)
1086
1087
Documentation
1088
*************
1089
1090
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
1091
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
1092
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
1093
(Ian Clatworthy)
1094
1095
API Changes
1096
***********
1097
1098
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
1099
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
1100
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
1101
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1102
1103
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
1104
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
1105
1106
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
1107
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
1108
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
1109
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
1110
1111
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
1112
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
1113
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
1114
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
1115
1116
Testing
1117
*******
1118
1119
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
1120
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
1121
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
1122
1123
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
1124
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
1125
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
1126
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
1127
1128
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
1129
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
1130
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
1131
(Ian Clatworthy)
1132
1133
Internals
1134
*********
1135
1136
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
1137
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
1138
(John Arbash Meinel)
1139
1140
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
1141
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
1142
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
1143
(John Arbash Meinel)
1144
1145
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
1146
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
1147
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
1148
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
1149
1150
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
1151
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
1152
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
1153
1154
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
1155
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
1156
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
1157
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
1158
1159
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
1160
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
1161
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
1162
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
1163
(John Arbash Meinel)
1164
1165
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
1166
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
1167
1168
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
1169
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
1170
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
1171
1172
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
1173
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
1174
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
1175
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
1176
1177
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
1178
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
1179
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
1180
(John Arbash Meinel)
1181
1182
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
1183
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
1184
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
1185
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
1186
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
1187
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
1188
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1189
1190
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
1191
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)

Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
1199
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
1200
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
1201
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
1202
implementation.
1203
1204
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
1205
1206
bug Fixes
1207
*********
1208
1209
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
1210
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
1211
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
1212
(Martin Pool, #303856)
1213
1214
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
1215
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
1216
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
1217
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
1218
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)

1224
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
1225
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
1226
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
1227
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
1228
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
1229
1230
New Features
1231
************
1232
1233
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
1234
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1235
1236
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
1237
(Aaron Bentley)
1238
1239
Improvements
1240
************
1241
1242
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
1243
history just to set the last revision info.
1244
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1245
1246
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
1247
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
1248
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
1249
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1250
1251
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
1252
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
1253
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
1254
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
1255
(John Arbash Meinel)
1256
1257
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
1258
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1259
1260
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
1261
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
1262
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
1263
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
1264
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
1265
1266
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
1267
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
1268
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
1269
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
1270
1271
Bug Fixes
1272
*********
1273
1274
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
1275
(Martin Pool, #289148)
1276
1277
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
1278
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
1279
1280
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
1281
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
1282
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
1283
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
1284
1285
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
1286
starting with a dotted revno.
1287
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
1288
1289
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
1290
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
1291
(Martin Pool, #288751)
1292
1293
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
1294
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
1295
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
1296
1297
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
1298
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
1299
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
1300
1301
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
1302
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
1303
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
1304
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
1305
1306
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
1307
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
1308
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
1309
1310
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
1311
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
1312
1313
API Changes
1314
***********
1315
1316
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
1317
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
1318
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
1319
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
1320
1321
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
1322
have changed incompatibly.
1323
1324
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
1325
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
1326
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
1327
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
1328
don't need to change.
1329
1330
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
1331
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.

This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
1346
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
1347
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
1348
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
1349
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
1350
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.

* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
1383
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
1384
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
1385
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
1386
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
1387
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
1388
1389
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
1390
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1391
1392
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
1393
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
1394
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
1395
1396
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
1397
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
1398
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.

1401
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
1402
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
1403
1404
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
1405
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
1406
1407
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
1408
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
1409
1410
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
1411
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
1412
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
1413
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
1414
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
1415
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
1416
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
1417
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
1418
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
1419
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)

Bug Fixes
1422
*********
1423
1424
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
1425
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
1426
1427
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
1428
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
1429
1430
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
1431
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
1432
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
1433
1434
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
1435
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
1436
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
1437
1438
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
1439
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
1440
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
1441
1442
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
1443
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
1444
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
1445
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
1446
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
1447
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
1448
1449
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
1450
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
1451
1452
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
1453
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
1454
1455
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
1456
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
1457
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
1458
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
1459
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
1460
1461
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
1462
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
1463
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.

1510
1511
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
1512
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
1513
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
1514
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
1515
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
1516
1517
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
1518
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
1519
1520
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the

1522
1523
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
1524
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
1525
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
1526
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
1527
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running

Improvements
1540
************
1541
1542
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
1543
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
1544
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
1545
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
1546
1547
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
1548
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
1549
(Daniel Watkins)
1550
1551
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
1552
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
1553
(Andrew Bennetts)
1554
1555

1559
1560
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
1561
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
1562
1563
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
1564
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
1565
1566
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
1567
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
1568
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
1569
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
1570
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
1571
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
1572
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
1573
operations. (Robert Collins)
1574
1575
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
1576
1577
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
1578
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing

1618
1619
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
1620
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
1621
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
1622
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)

* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
1822
(Martin Pool, #261315)
1823
1824
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
1825
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
1826
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
1827
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
1828
(John Arbash Meinel)
1829
1830
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
1831
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
1832
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
1833
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
1834
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
1835
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
1836
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
1837
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
1838
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
1839
file. (John Arbash Meinel)

(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
1853
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
1854
1855
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
1856
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
1857
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
1858
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
1859
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
1860
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
1861
1862
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
1863
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
1864
1865
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
1866
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
1867
1868
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
1869
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
1870
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
1871
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
1872
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
1873
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
1874
1875
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
1876
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
1877
1878
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
1879
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
1880
1881
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
1882
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
1883
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
1884
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
1885
1886
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
1887
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
1888
1889
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
1890
assuming the host name is ascii.

1946
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
1947

* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
1957
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.

(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
1959
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1960
1961
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
1962
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with

This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
1991
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
1992
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
1993
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
1994
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
1995
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
1996
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
1997
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
1998
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
1999
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
2000
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
2001
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.

2006
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
2007
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
2008
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
2009
start of the string (causing more copies).
2010
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
2011
especially for projects with large files.

2013
2014
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
2015
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
2016
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
2017
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
2018
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
2019
2020
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
2021
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
2022
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
2023
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
2024
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.

Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
2032
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
2033
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version

2035
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to

support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
2037
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be

2172
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the

2234
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
2235
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
2236
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
2237
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve

2245
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
2246
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
2247
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
2248
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``

* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
2323
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
2324
2325
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
2326
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
2327
faster. The new request method name is
2328
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)

2331
*********
2332
2333
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
2334
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
2335
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
2336
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
2337
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
2338
2339
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
2340
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
2341
2342
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
2343
requires a branch to be present.
2344
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
2345
2346
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
2347
loaded.
2348
(Martin Pool, #205230)
2349
2350
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
2351
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
2352
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
2353

name contains an @.
2360
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
2361
2362
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
2363
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
2364
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
2365
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
2366

2398
2399
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
2400

2413
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional

Bug Fixes
2458
*********
2459
2460
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
2461
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
2462
reading from the repository.)
2463
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
2464
2465
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
2466
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
2467
2468
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
2469
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
2470
(Andrew Bennetts)
2471
2472
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
2473
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
2474
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
2475
2476
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
2477
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
2478
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
2479
2480
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
2481
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
2482
2483
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
2484
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
2485
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.

Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
2538
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
2539
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
2540
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
2541
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
2542
and future extensions.
2543
2544
2545
Notes When Upgrading
2546
********************
2547
2548
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
2549
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
2550
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
2551
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
2552
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
2553
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
2554
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.

Improvements
2571
************
2572
2573
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
2574
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
2575
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
2576
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2577
2578
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
2579
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
2580
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
2581
2582
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
2583
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
2584
2585
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
2586
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
2587
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
2588
2589
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
2590
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
2591
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
2592
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
2593
step closer to not using full revision history.

Bugfixes
2597
********
2598
2599
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
2600
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
2601
2602
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
2603
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
2604
2605
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
2606
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
2607
2608
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
2609
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
2610
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
2611
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
2612
2613
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
2614
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
2615
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
2616
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
2617
2618
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
2619
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
2620
in use by another process.
2621
(Martin Pool)
2622
2623
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
2624
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
2625
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
2626
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
2627
2628
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
2629
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
2630
2631
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
2632
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
2633
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
2634

2636
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
2637
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
2638
2639
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
2640
them.
2641
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
2642
2643
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
2644
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
2645
2646
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run

under vim on Mac OS X.

* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
2685
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
2686
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
2687
(John Arbash Meinel)
2688
2689
API Changes
2690
***********
2691
2692
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
2693
instead. (Martin Pool)
2694
2695
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
2696
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
2697
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
2698
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
2699
2700
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
2701
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
2702
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
2703
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
2704
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
2705
2706
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
2707
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
2708
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
2709
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
2710
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
2711
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
2712
2713
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
2714
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
2715
(Martin Pool)
2716
2717
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
2718
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
2719
(Robert Collins)
2720
2721
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
2722
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
2723
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
2724
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
2725
2726
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
2727
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
2728
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
2729
2730
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
2731
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
2732
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
2733
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
2734
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
2735
(Martin Pool)
2736
2737
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
2738
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
2739
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
2740
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
2741
(Robert Collins)
2742
2743
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
2744
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
2745
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
2746
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
2747
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)

on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
2794
2795
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.

********
2800
2801
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
2802
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
2803
2804
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
2805
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
2806
2807
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
2808
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
2809
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
2810
2811
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
2812
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
2813
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
2814
2815
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
2816
(Andreas Deininger)
2817
2818
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
2819
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
2820
2821
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
2822
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
2823
2824
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
2825
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
2826
2827
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
2828
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
2829
2830
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
2831
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
2832
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
2833
2834
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
2835
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
2836
2837
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
2838
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
2839
2840
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
2841
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
2842
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
2843
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
2844
2845
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
2846
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
2847
(Martin Pool)
2848
2849
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
2850
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
2851
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
2852
2853
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
2854
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
2855
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
2856
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
2857
every revision each side had in common.
2858
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2859
2860
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
2861
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
2862
2863
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
2864
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
2865
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.

Documentation
2869
*************
2870
2871
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
2872
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
2873
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
2874
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
2875
2876
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
2877
2878
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)

Testing
2884
*******
2885
2886
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
2887
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
2888
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
2889
2890
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
2891
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
2892
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
2893
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
2894
2895
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
2896
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2897
2898
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
2899
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
2900
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
2901
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2902
2903
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
2904
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
2905
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
2906
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)

Internals
2909
*********
2910
2911
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
2912
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
2913
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
2914
2915
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
2916
2917
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
2918
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
2919
2920
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
2921
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2922
2923
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
2924
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)

API Changes
2927
***********
2928
2929

2930
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
2931
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
2932
2933
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
2934
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
2935
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
2936
(Aaron Bentley)
2937
2938
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
2939
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.

This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
2950
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
2951
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
2952
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
2953
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
2954
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
2955
and faster performance.

Changes
2994
*******
2995
2996
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
2997
2998
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
2999
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
3000
3001
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
3002
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
3003
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
3004
3005
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
3006
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
3007
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
3008
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
3009
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
3010
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
3011
Andrew Cowie)
3012
3013
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
3014
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
3015
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
3016
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)

Features
3019
********
3020
3021
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
3022
3023
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
3024
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
3025
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
3026
3027
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
3028
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
3029
See the User Reference for signature details.
3030
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
3031
3032
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
3033
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
3034
3035
Improvements
3036
************
3037
3038
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
3039
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
3040
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
3041
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3042
3043
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
3044
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
3045
3046
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
3047
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
3048
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
3049
Wouter van Heyst)
3050
3051
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
3052
(Chad Miller)
3053
3054
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
3055
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
3056
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
3057
3058
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
3059
(Aaron Bentley)
3060
3061
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
3062
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
3063
3064
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
3065
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
3066
3067
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
3068
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
3069
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
3070
3071
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
3072
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
3073
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
3074
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
3075
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
3076
3077
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
3078
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
3079
3080
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
3081
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
3082
3083
Bugfixes
3084
********
3085
3086
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
3087
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
3088
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
3089
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
3090
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
3091
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
3092
3093
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
3094
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
3095
3096
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
3097
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
3098
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
3099
3100
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
3101
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
3102
3103
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
3104
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
3105
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
3106
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3107
3108
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
3109
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
3110
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
3111
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
3112
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
3113
3114
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
3115
3116
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
3117
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
3118
3119
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
3120
3121
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
3122
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
3123
3124
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
3125
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)

Documentation
3128
*************
3129
3130
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
3131
3132
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
3133
3134
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
3135
3136
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
3137
3138
API Breaks
3139
**********
3140
3141
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
3142
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
3143
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
3144
3145
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
3146
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
3147
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
3148
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
3149
3150
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
3151
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
3152
release. (James Westby)
3153
3154
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
3155
(Andrew Bennetts)
3156
3157
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
3158
3159
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
3160
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
3161
3162
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
3163
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
3164
3165
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
3166
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
3167
3168
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
3169
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
3170
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
3171
3172
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
3173
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
3174
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
3175
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
3176
3177
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
3178
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
3179
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
3180
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
3181
3182
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
3183
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
3184
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
3185
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
3186
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
3187
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
3188
3189
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
3190
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
3191
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
3192
3193
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
3194
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
3195
3196
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
3197
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
3198
(Robert Collins)
3199
3200
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
3201
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
3202
3203
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
3204
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
3205
3206
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
3207
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
3208
3209
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
3210
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
3211
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
3212
3213
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
3214
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
3215
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
3216
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
3217
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
3218
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
3219
3220
Testing
3221
*******
3222
3223
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
3224
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
3225
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
3226
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
3227
3228
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
3229
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
3230
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
3231
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
3232
implement this).
3233
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3234
3235
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
3236
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
3237
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3238
3239
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
3240
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
3241
3242
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
3243
3244
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
3245

* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
3257
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
3258
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
3259
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection

3321
3322
Changes
3323
*******
3324
3325
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
3326
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
3327
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
3328
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
3329
(Robert Collins)
3330
3331
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
3332
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
3333
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
3334
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
3335
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
3336
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
3337
3338
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
3339
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
3340
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
3341
(Alexander Belchenko)
3342
3343
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
3344

************
3360
3361
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
3362
3363
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3364
3365
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
3366
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
3367
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
3368
3369
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
3370
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
3371
3372
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
3373
to. (Daniel Watkins)
3374
3375
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
3376
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
3377
(Alexander Belchenko)
3378
3379
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
3380
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
3381
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
3382
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
3383
3384
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
3385
(Daniel Watkins)
3386
3387
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
3388
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
3389
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
3390
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
3391
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)

hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
3399
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)

detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
3478
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
3479
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)

3492
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
3493
3494
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
3495
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for

Notes When Upgrading
3513
********************
3514
3515
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
3516
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
3517
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
3518
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
3519
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
3520
(Andrew Bennetts)
3521
3522
Changes
3523
*******
3524
3525
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
3526
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
3527
3528
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
3529
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
3530
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
3531
3532
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
3533
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
3534
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
3535
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
3536
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
3537
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
3538

Features
3541
********
3542
3543
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
3544
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3545
3546
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
3547
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
3548
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
3549
(Robert Collins)
3550
3551
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
3552
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
3553
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
3554
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
3555
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
3556
3557
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
3558
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
3559
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
3560
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
3561
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
3562
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
3563
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
3564
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)

Improvements

************
3568
3569
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
3570
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
3571
3572
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
3573
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
3574
3575
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
3576
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3577
3578
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
3579
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
3580
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
3581
3582
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
3583
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.

* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
3593
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)

(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
3601
3602
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
3603
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
3604
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
3605
3606
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
3607
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
3608
3609
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
3610
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
3611
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
3612
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
3613
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
3614
unittest runner.
3615
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)

3620
3621
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.

* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
3625

* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
3628

3631
more characters which should be considered valid.
3632
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
3633
3634
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
3635
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
3636
3637

``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
3662
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
3663

3665
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
3666
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
3667
3668
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
3669
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
3670
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
3671
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
3672
3673
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
3674
3675
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
3676
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
3677
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
3678

* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
3681
operate. (Robert Collins)
3682
3683
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
3684
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
3685
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
3686
3687
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
3688
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
3689
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
3690
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
3691
3692
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
3693
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
3694
3695
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
3696
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
3697
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
3698
3699
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
3700
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
3701
3702
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
3703
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
3704
3705
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
3706
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
3707
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
3708
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
3755
3756
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
3757
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
3758
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
3759
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.

Notes When Upgrading
4066
********************
4067
4068
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
4069
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
4070
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
4071
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
4072
4073
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
4074
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
4075
4076
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
4077
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
4078
4079
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
4080
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
4081
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
4082
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
4083
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
4084
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
4085
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
4086
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
4087
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
4088
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
4089
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
4090
from any tree without problems.

* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
4355
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
4356
4357
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
4358
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
4359
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
4360
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
4361
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
4362
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
4363
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
4364
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
4365
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
4366
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
4367
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
4368
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).

Features
4372
********
4373
4374
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
4375
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
4376
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
4377
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
4378
commands. (Robert Collins)
4379
4380
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
4381
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
4382
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
4383
(Robert Collins)
4384
4385
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
4386
4387
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
4388
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
4389
4390
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
4391
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
4392
(Aaron Bentley)
4393
4394
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
4395
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
4396
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
4397

Performance
4399
***********
4400
4401
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
4402
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
4403
4404
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
4405
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
4406
4407
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
4408
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
4409
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
4410
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
4411
4412
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
4413
(Robert Collins)
4414
4415
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
4416
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
4417
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
4418
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
4419
4420
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
4421
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
4422
4423
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
4424
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
4425
4426
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
4427
the contents. (Robert Collins)

unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)

*********
4460
4461
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
4462
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
4463
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
4464
4465
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
4466
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
4467
4468
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
4469
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
4470
4471
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
4472
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
4473
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
4474
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
4475
4476
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
4477
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
4478
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
4479
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
4480
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
4481
4482
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
4483
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
4484
paramiko.

4523
directory to detect leaking tests.

(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
4525
4526
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
4527
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
4528
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
4529
4530
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
4531

4543
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
4544
4545
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
4546
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
4547
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
4548
4549
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
4550
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
4551
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
4552
4553
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
4554
appropriate. (Martin Pool)

* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
4571
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
4572
4573
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
4574
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
4575
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
4576
4577
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
4578
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
4579
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
4580
(Robert Collins)
4581
4582
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
4583
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
4584
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
4585
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.

housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
4594
4595
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
4596
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.

This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
4598

4606
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)

4610
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
4611

* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
4613

* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
4623
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
4624
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
4625
4626
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
4627
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
4628
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
4629
4630
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
4631
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
4632
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
4633
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
4634
4635
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
4636
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
4637
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
4638
returned. (Robert Collins)
4639

* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
4641
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
4642

* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
4644

4645
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
4646
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.

Changes
4701
*******
4702
4703
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
4704
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
4705
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
4706
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
4707
(Martin Pool)
4708
4709
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
4710
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
4711
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
4712
(Ian Clatworthy)
4713
4714
Features
4715
********
4716
4717
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
4718
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
4719
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
4720
(Lukáš Lalinský)
4721
4722
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
4723
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
4724
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
4725
4726
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
4727
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
4728
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
4729
4730
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
4731
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
4732
4733
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
4734
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
4735
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
4736
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
4737
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
4738
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
4739
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
4740
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
4741
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
4742
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
4743
4744
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
4745
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
4746
4747
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
4748
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
4749
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
4750
4751
Bug Fixes
4752
*********
4753
4754
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
4755
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
4756
4757
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
4758
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
4759
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
4760
4761
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
4762
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
4763
4764
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
4765
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
4766
4767
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
4768
(Aaron Bentley)
4769
4770
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
4771
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
4772
4773
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
4774
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
4775
4776
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
4777
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4778
4779
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
4780
(Blake Winton, #129299)
4781
4782
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
4783
4784
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
4785
Watkins, #106726)
4786
4787
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
4788
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
4789
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
4790
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
4791
4792
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4793
4794
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
4795
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
4796
#133548)
4797
4798
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
4799
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
4800
4801
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
4802
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
4803
#116143)
4804
4805
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
4806
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
4807
4808
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
4809
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
4810
4811
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
4812
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
4813
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
4814
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
4815
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
4816
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
4817
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
4818
4819
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
4820
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
4821
4822
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
4823
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
4824
4825
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
4826
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
4827
4828
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
4829
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
4830
4831
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
4832
connections.
4833
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
4834
4835
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
4836
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
4837
4838
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
4839
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
4840
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
4841
4842
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
4843
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
4844
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)

Improvements
4847
************
4848
4849
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
4850
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4851
4852
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
4853
(Aaron Bentley)
4854
4855
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
4856
(Aaron Bentley)
4857
4858
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
4859
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
4860
4861
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
4862
4863
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
4864
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
4865
4866
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
4867
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
4868
4869
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
4870
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
4871
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
4872
space). (Robert Collins)
4873
4874
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
4875
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
4876
(Ian Clatworthy)
4877
4878
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
4879
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4880
4881
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
4882
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
4883
4884
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
4885
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
4886
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
4887
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
4888
4889
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
4890
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
4891
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
4892
(Lukáš Lalinský)
4893
4894
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
4895
(Ian Clatworthy)
4896
4897
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
4898
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
4899
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
4900
4901
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
4902
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
4903
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
4904
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
4905
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
4906
4907
API Breaks
4908
**********
4909
4910
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
4911
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
4912
4913
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
4914
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
4915
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
4916
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
4917
affected. (Robert Collins)
4918
4919
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
4920
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
4921
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
4922
(Robert Collins)
4923
4924
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
4925
previous release. (Martin Pool)
4926
4927
Testing
4928
*******
4929
4930
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
4931
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
4932
4933
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
4934
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4935
4936
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
4937
previous release. (Martin Pool)
4938
4939
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
4940
(Aaron Bentley)
4941
4942
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
4943
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4944
4945
Internals
4946
*********
4947
4948
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
4949
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
4950
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
4951
its version information. (Robert Collins)
4952
4953
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
4954
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4955
4956
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
4957
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
4958
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
4959
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4960
4961
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
4962
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
4963
present. (Robert Collins)
4964
4965
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
4966
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
4967
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
4968
API. (Robert Collins)
4969
4970
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
4971
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
4972
(Robert Collins)
4973
4974
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
4975
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
4976
4977
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
4978
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
4979
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
4980
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
4981
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
4982
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
4983
4984
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
4985
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
4986
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
4987
4988
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
4989
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
4990
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
4991
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
4992
protocol.
4993
4994
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
4995
(Aaron Bentley)
4996
4997
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
4998
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
4999
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
5000
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
5001
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
5002
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
5003
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
5004
5005
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
5006
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
5007
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
5008
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
5009
5010
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
5011
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
5012
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
5013
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
5014
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
5015
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
5016
5017
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
5018
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
5019
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
5020
5021
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
5022
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

5035
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the

5053
********
5054
5055
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
5056
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
5057
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
5058
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
5059
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
5060
5061
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
5062
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
5063
5064
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
5065
anymore.
5066
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
5067
5068
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
5069
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
5070
(Vincent Ladeuil)
5071
5072
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
5073
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
5074
#111664)
5075
5076
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
5077
(Lukáš Lalinský)
5078
5079
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
5080
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
5081
5082
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
5083
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
5084
5085
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
5086
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
5087
5088
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.

5100
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
5101
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
5102
5103
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
5104
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
5105
5106
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
5107
the repository (Robert Collins)
5108
5109
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
5110
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
5111
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
5112
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
5113
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
5114
5115
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
5116
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
5117
5118
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
5119
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
5120
(John Arbash Meinel)
5121
5122
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
5123
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
5124
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
5125
about 10%).
5126
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
5127
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
5128
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
5129
(John Arbash Meinel)
5130
5131
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
5132
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
5133
(Robert Collins)
5134
5135
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
5136
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
5137
5138
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
5139
(Ian Clatworthy)
5140
5141
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
5142
5143
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)

* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
5146
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
5147
5148
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
5149
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
5150
Meinel)
5151
5152
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
5153
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
5154
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
5155
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
5156
5157
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
5158
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
5159
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
5160
5161
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
5162
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
5163
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
5164
5165
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
5166
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
5167
5168
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
5169
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
5170
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
5171
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
5172
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
5173
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
5174
(Ian Clatworthy)
5175
5176
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
5177
(Alexander Belchenko)
5178
5179
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
5180
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
5181
5182
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
5183
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
5184
5185
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)

Library API Breaks
5191
******************
5192
5193
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
5194
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
5195
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
5196
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
5197
5198
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
5199
5200
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
5201
(Robert Collins)
5202
5203
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
5204
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
5205
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
5206
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
5207
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
5208
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
5209
5210
Internals
5211
*********
5212
5213
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
5214
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
5215
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
5216
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
5217
5218
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
5219
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
5220
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
5221
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
5222
tests have been refactored too.
5223
(Vincent Ladeuil)
5224
5225
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
5226
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
5227
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
5228
list, it will.
5229
(Vincent Ladeuil)
5230
5231
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
5232
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
5233
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
5234
5235
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
5236
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
5237
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
5238
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
5239
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
5240
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
5241
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
5242
5243
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
5244
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
5245
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
5246
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
5247
(John Arbash Meinel)
5248
5249
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
5250
functionality for testing.
5251
5252
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
5253
5254
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
5255
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
5256
5257
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
5258
5259
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
5260
(Robert Collins)
5261
5262
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
5263
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
5264
5265
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
5266
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
5267
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
5268
5269
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
5270
(Aaron Bentley)
5271
5272
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
5273
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
5274
5275
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
5276
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
5277
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
5278
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
5279
5280
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
5281
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
5282
5283
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
5284
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
5285
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
5286
5287
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
5288
(Marius Kruger)
5289
5290
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
5291
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
5292
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
5293
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
5294
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
5295
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
5296
5297
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
5298
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
5299
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
5300
many files. (Robert Collins)
5301
5302
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
5303
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
5304
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
5305
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
5306
5307
Testing
5308
*******
5309
5310
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
5311
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
5312
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
5313
5314
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
5315
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
5316
5317
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
5318
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
5319
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

Improvements
5383
************
5384
5385
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
5386
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
5387
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
5388
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
5389
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
5390
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
5391
5392
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
5393
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
5394
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
5395
5396
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
5397
(Elliot Murphy)
5398
5399
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
5400
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
5401
5402
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
5403
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
5404
5405
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
5406
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
5407
5408
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
5409
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
5410
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
5411
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
5412
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
5413
5414
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
5415
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
5416
5417
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
5418
can be slow it is useful feedback).
5419
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
5420
5421

5422
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
5423
5424
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
5425
5426
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
5427

* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
5430
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.

5477
5478
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
5479
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
5480
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
5481

* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
5489
5490
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
5491
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
5492
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
5493
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
5494
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
5495
same location. (Robert Collins)

searches the specified section. (James Westby)
5515
5516
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
5517
5518
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
5519
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
5520
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)

* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
5523
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
5524
5525
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
5526
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
5527
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
5528
5529
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
5530
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
5531
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
5532
5533
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
5534

5535
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)

5550
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
5551

5552
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
5553
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
5554
5555
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
5556
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
5557
testing. (Robert Collins)
5558
5559
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
5560
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
5561
5562
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
5563
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
5564
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
5565
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
5566
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
5567
attribute during the test parameterisation in
5568
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
5569
5570
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
5571
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
5572
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
5573
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
5574
5575
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
5576
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
5577
5578
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
5579
avoid useless cloning.

particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
5607
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
5608

5610
work_tree.lock_read()

* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
5619
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
5620
object.
5621
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
5622
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
5623
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
5624
5625
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
5626

************
5631
5632

5633
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
5634

* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
5637

5639
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
5640
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
5641
5642
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
5643
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
5644
understanding what changes have occurred
5645
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
5646
5647
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
5648
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
5649
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
5650
5651
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
5652
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
5653
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
5654
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)

5661
5662
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
5663
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
5664
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
5665
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
5666
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)

* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
5680
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
5681
5682
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
5683
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
5684
5685
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
5686
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
5687
5688
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
5689
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
5690
5691
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
5692
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
5693
5694
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
5695

5705
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
5706
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after

Notes When Upgrading
5757
********************
5758
5759
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
5760
it could be recovered again.
5761
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
5762
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
5763
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
5764
but not delete it.
5765
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
5766
files.
5767
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.

5773
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
5774
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
5775
5776
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
5777
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
5778
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
5779
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
5780
5781
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
5782
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
5783
5784
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
5785
tests with names that match that regular expression.
5786
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
5787
5788
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
5789
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
5790
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
5791
5792
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
5793
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
5794
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
5795
5796
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
5797
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
5798
Robert Collins)
5799
5800
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
5801

5802
5803
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
5804
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
5805
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
5806
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
5807
5808
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
5809
(Robert Collins)
5810
5811
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
5812
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
5813
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
5814

5816
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
5817

* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
5820
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
5821
5822
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
5823
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
5824
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
5825
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
5826
(Robert Collins)
5827
5828
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
5829
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
5830
5831
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
5832
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
5833
5834
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
5835
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
5836
(Robert Collins, #107125).
5837
5838
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
5839
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
5840
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
5841
5842
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
5843
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
5844
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5845
5846
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
5847
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
5848
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
5849
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
5850
5851
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
5852
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
5853
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
5854
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
5855
5856
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
5857
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
5858
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
5859
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
5860
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
5861
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
5862
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
5863
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
5864
header(s).

5870
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
5871
code paths. (Robert Collins)
5872
5873
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
5874
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
5875
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
5876
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
5877
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5878
5879
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
5880
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
5881
5882
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
5883
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
5884
5885
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
5886
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
5887
5888
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
5889
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
5890
5891
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
5892
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
5893
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
5894
(Robert Collins).
5895
5896
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
5897
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
5898
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
5899
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
5900
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
5901
(Robert Collins)
5902
5903
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
5904
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
5905
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
5906
5907
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
5908
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
5909
(Vincent Ladeuil).
5910
5911
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
5912
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
5913
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
5914
(Vincent Ladeuil).
5915
5916
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
5917
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
5918
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
5919
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
5920
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
5921
5922
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
5923
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
5924
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
5925
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5926
5927
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
5928
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
5929
5930
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
5931
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
5932
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
5933
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
5934
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
5935
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
5936
5937
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
5938
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
5939
5940
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
5941
help. (Robert Collins)
5942
5943
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
5944
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
5945
5946
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
5947
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
5948
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
5949
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
5950
(John Arbash Meinel)
5951
5952
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
5953
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
5954
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
5955
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
5956
useful. (Robert Collins)
5957
5958
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".

6025
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and

* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
6030
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
6031
6032
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
6033
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
6034
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
6035
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
6036
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
6037
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
6038
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
6039
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
6040
6041
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
6042
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
6043

6044
6045
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
6046
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
6047
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
6048
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part

6087
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
6088
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
6089
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
6090
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
6091
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
6092
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
6093
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
6094
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
6095
path. (vila)

6101
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
6102
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
6103
6104
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
6105

6110
(John Arbash Meinel)
6111
6112
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
6113
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
6114
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
6115
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
6116
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)

Surprises
6208
*********
6209
6210
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
6211
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
6212
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
6213
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
6214
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
6215
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
6216
6217
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
6218
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
6219
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
6220
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
6221
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
6222
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
6223
development.
6224
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
6225
6226
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
6227
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
6228
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
6229
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
6230
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
6231
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
6232
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
6233
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
6234

Improvements
6236
************
6237
6238
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
6239
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
6240
6241
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
6242
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
6243
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
6244
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
6245
does exist.
6246
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
6247
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
6248
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
6249
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
6250
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
6251
6252
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
6253
(Aaron Bentley)
6254
6255
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
6256
(Aaron Bentley)
6257
6258
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
6259
(Robert Collins)
6260
6261
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
6262
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
6263
(Aaron Bentley)
6264
6265
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
6266
(Aaron Bentley)
6267
6268
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
6269
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
6270
6271
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
6272
directory. (Martin Pool)
6273
6274
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
6275
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
6276
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
6277
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
6278
6279
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
6280
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
6281
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
6282
in docs/configuration.txt.
6283
6284
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
6285
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
6286
bind location.
6287
6288
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
6289
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
6290
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
6291
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
6292
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
6293
repositories. (Martin Pool)
6294
6295
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
6296
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
6297
6298
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
6299
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
6300
6301
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.

Internals
6305
*********
6306
6307
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
6308
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
6309
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
6310
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
6311
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
6312
(John Arbash Meinel)
6313
6314
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
6315
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
6316
(Aaron Bentley)
6317
6318
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
6319
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
6320
(John Arbash Meinel)
6321
6322
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
6323
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
6324
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
6325
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
6326
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
6327
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
6328
6329
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
6330
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
6331
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
6332
6333
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
6334
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
6335
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
6336
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
6337
repository.
6338
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6339
6340
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
6341
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
6342
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
6343
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
6344
6345
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
6346
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
6347
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
6348
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
6349
6350
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
6351
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
6352
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
6353
6354
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
6355
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
6356
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
6357
6358
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
6359
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
6360
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
6361
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
6362
6363
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
6364
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
6365
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
6366
6367
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
6368
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
6369
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
6370
6371
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
6372
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
6373
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
6374
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
6375
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
6376
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
6377
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
6378
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
6379
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
6522
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
6523
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
6524
6525
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
6526
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
6527
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
6528
6529
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
6530
6531
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
6532
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
6533
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
6534
(Alexander Belchenko)
6535
6536
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
6537
Pool)
6538
6539
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
6540
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)

*********
6546
6547
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
6548
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
6549
6550
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
6551
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
6552
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
6553
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
6554
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
6555
6556
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
6557
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
6558
6559
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
6560
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
6561
6562
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
6563
matcher.
6564
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
6565
6566
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
6567
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
6568
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
6569
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
6570
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
6571
6572
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
6573
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
6574
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
6575
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
6576
6577
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
6578
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
6579
6580
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
6581
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
6582
6583
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
6584

************
6601
6602
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
6603
tree from a branch.
6604
(Daniel Silverstone)
6605
6606
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
6607
operations are substantially faster.
6608
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
6609
6610
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
6611
tree from some other url. For example:
6612
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
6613
(Daniel Silverstone)
6614
6615
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
6616
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
6617
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
6618
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
6619
6620
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
6621
(Andrew Bennetts)
6622
6623
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
6624
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
6625
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
6626
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
6627
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
6628
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)

Internals
6631
*********
6632
6633
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
6634
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
6635
(Martin Pool)
6636
6637
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
6638
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
6639
(John Arbash Meinel)
6640
6641
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
6642
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
6643
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
6644
(John Arbash Meinel)
6645
6646
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
6647
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
6648
6649
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
6650
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
6651
6652
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
6653
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
6654

*********
6658
6659
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
6660
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
6661
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
6662
6663
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
6664
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
6665
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
6666
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
6667
6668
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
6669
6670
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
6671
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
6672
6673
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
6674
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
6675
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
6676
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
6677
6678
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
6679
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
6680
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
6681
6682
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
6683
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
6684
them as full references rather than integers.
6685
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
6686
6687
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
6688
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
6689
6690
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
6691
6692
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
6693
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
6694
6695
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
6696
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
6697
6698
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
6699
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
6700
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
6701
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
6702
6703
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
6704
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
6705
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
6706
6707
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
6708
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
6709
6710
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
6711
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
6712
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
6713
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.

************
6737
6738
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
6739
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
6740
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
6741
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
6742
6743
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
6744
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
6745
6746
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
6747
6748
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
6749
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
6750
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
6751
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
6752
6753
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
6754
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
6755
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
6756
to allow modules to be loaded on request.

* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
6769
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
6770
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
6771
6772
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
6773
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
6774
(John Arbash Meinel)
6775
6776
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
6777
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
6778
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
6779
6780
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
6781
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
6782
(Aaron Bentley)
6783
6784
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
6785
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
6786
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6787
6788
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
6789
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
6790
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
6791
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
6792
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
6793
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6794
6795
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
6796
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
6797
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
6798
(Robert Collins)

6817
6818
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
6819

6820
6821
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
6822
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
6823
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
6824
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)

6826
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
6827
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)

* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
6877
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
6878
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
6879
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
6880
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
6881
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
6882
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)

Internals
6977
*********
6978
6979
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
6980
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
6981
(John Arbash Meinel)
6982
6983
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
6984
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
6985
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
6986
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
6987
6988
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
6989
(Andrew Bennetts)
6990
6991
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
6992
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
6993
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
6994
6995
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
6996
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
6997
6998
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
6999
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
7000
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
7001
7002
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
7003
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
7004
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
7005
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
7006
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
7007
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
7008
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
7009
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
7010
caller to repeat their request.
7011
(John Arbash Meinel)
7012
7013
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
7014
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
7015
7016
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
7017
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
7018
7019
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
7020
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
7021
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
7022
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
7023
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
7024
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
7025
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
7026
7027
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
7028
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
7029
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
7030
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
7031
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
7032
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
7033
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
7034
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
7035
(Robert Collins)
7036
7037
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
7038
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
7039
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
7040
7041
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
7042
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
7043
7044
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
7045
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
7046
7047
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
7048
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
7049
7050
Testing
7051
*******
7052
7053
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
7054
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
7055
7056
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
7057
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
7058
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
7059
7060
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
7061
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
7062
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)

Improvements
7068
************
7069
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
7070
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
7071
7072
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
7073
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
7074
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
7075
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
7076
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
7077
7078
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
7079
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
7080
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
7081
7082
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
7083
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
7084
7085
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
7086
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.

Bug Fixes
7090
*********
7091
7092
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
7093
7094
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
7095
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
7096
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
7097
7098
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
7099
7100
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
7101
7102
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
7103
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
7104
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
7105
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
7106
7107
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
7108
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
7109
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
7110
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
7111
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
7112
7113
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
7114
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
7115
7116
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
7117
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
7118
7119
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
7120
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
7121
7122
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
7123
in handling of revision properties.
7124
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
7125
7126
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
7127
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
7128
7129
Internals
7130
*********
7131
7132
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
7133
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
7134
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
7135
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
7136
(John Arbash Meinel)
7137
7138
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
7139
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
7140
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)

Surprises
7146
*********
7147
7148
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
7149
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
7150
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
7151
specific one '.bzrignore'.
7152
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
7153
a more conservative list than the old default.
7154
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
7155
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
7156
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
7157
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
7158
7159
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
7160
to more locations than just branch locations.
7161
(Aaron Bentley)
7162
7163
Improvements
7164
************
7165
7166
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
7167
revno:N:branch. For example,
7168
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
7169
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
7170
7171
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
7172
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
7173
the path of a file that has been versioned.
7174
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
7175
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
7176
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
7177
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
7178
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
7179
#42517, #42514)
7180
7181
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
7182
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
7183
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
7184
(Malone #3507)
7185
7186
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
7187
(Alexander Belchenko)
7188
7189
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
7190
7191
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
7192
(Robert Collins).
7193
7194
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
7195
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
7196
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
7197
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
7198
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
7199
(John Arbash Meinel)
7200
7201
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
7202
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
7203
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
7204
grained analysis of performance.
7205
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
7206
7207
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
7208
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
7209
7210
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
7211
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
7212
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
7213
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
7214
file. (Robert Collins).
7215
7216
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
7217
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
7218
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
7219
7220
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
7221
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
7222
Matthieu Moy)
7223
7224
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
7225
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
7226
7227
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
7228
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
7229
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
7230
the same way you would apply another branch.
7231
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
7232
7233
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
7234
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
7235
7236
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
7237
(Michael Ellerman)
7238
7239
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
7240
(Aaron Bentley)
7241
7242
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
7243
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
7244
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
7245
7246
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
7247
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
7248
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
7249
7250
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
7251
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
7252
7253
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
7254
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
7255
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
7256
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
7257
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
7258
7259
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
7260
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
7261
7262
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
7263
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
7264
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
7265
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
7266
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
7267
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
7268
branch is as much as 4x faster.
7269
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
7270
7271
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
7272
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
7273
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
7274
7275
Bug Fixes
7276
*********
7277
7278
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
7279
tests not to run.
7280
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
7281
7282
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
7283
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
7284
7285
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
7286
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
7287
7288
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
7289
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
7290
7291
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
7292
7293
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
7294
(John Arbash Meinel)
7295
7296
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
7297
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
7298
7299
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
7300
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
7301
and y.
7302
7303
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
7304
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
7305
7306
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
7307
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
7308
7309
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
7310
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
7311
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
7312
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
7313
7314
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
7315
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
7316
7317
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
7318
7319
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
7320
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
7321
7322
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
7323
7324
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
7325
7326
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
7327
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
7328
7329
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
7330
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
7331
7332
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
7333
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
7334
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
7335
7336
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
7337
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
7338
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
7339
7340
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
7341
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
7342
7343
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
7344
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
7345
7346
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
7347
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
7348
7349
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
7350
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
7351
7352
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
7353
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
7354
7355
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
7356
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
7357
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
7358
7359
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
7360
7361
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
7362
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
7363
7364
Internals
7365
*********
7366
7367
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
7368
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
7369
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
7370
7371
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
7372
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
7373
7374
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
7375
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
7376
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
7377
7378
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
7379
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
7380
7381
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
7382
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
7383
(Martin Pool)
7384
7385
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
7386
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
7387
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
7388
7389
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
7390
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
7391
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
7392
7393
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
7394
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
7395
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
7396
7397
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
7398

Notes When Upgrading
7476
********************
7477
7478
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
7479
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
7480
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
7481
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
7482
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
7483
will keep the same format.
7484
7485
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
7486
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
7487
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
7488
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
7489
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
7490
7491
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
7492
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
7493
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
7494
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
7495
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
7496
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
7497
indicating the current revision of the branch.
7498
7499
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
7500
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
7501
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
7502
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
7503
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
7504
7505
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
7506
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
7507
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
7508
arrangement.
7509
7510
7511
Improvements
7512
************
7513
7514
* sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
7515
convention. Paths now take the form::
7516
7517
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
7518
or
7519
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
7520
7521
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
7522
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
7523
7524
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
7525
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
7526
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
7527
7528
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
7529
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
7530
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
7531
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
7532
7533
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
7534
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
7535
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
7536
7537
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
7538
7539
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
7540
7541
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
7542
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
7543
commits::
7544
7545
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
7546
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
7547
| xargs bzr re-sign
7548
7549
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
7550
7551
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
7552
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
7553
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
7554
(Robert Collins)
7555
7556
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
7557
7558
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
7559
7560
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
7561
'.moved'.
7562
7563
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
7564
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
7565
7566
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
7567
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
7568
Daniel Silverstone)
7569
7570
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
7571
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
7572
Martin Pool)
7573
7574
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
7575
7576
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
7577
7578
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
7579
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
7580
7581
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
7582
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
7583
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
7584
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
7585
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
7586
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
7587
7588
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
7589
7590
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
7591
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
7592
(Robert Collins)
7593
7594
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
7595
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
7596
7597
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
7598
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
7599
7600
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
7601
7602
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
7603
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
7604
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
7605
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
7606
specification by Martin Pool.
7607
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
7608
7609
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
7610
Belchenko)
7611
7612
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
7613
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
7614
7615
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
7616
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
7617
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
7618
7619
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
7620
7621
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
7622
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
7623
(Robert Collins)

7628
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
7629
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
7630
7631
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
7632
7633
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
7634
7635
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
7636
(Olaf Conradi)
7637
7638
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
7639
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
7640
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
7641
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
7642
7643

7644
*********
7645
7646
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
7647
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
7648
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
7649
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
7650
7651
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
7652
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
7653
tried. (Martin Pool)
7654
7655
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
7656
(Martin Pool)
7657
7658
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
7659
7660
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
7661
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
7662
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
7663
7664
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
7665
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
7666
7667
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
7668
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
7669
paths. (Robert Collins)
7670
7671
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
7672
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
7673
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
7674
7675
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
7676
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
7677
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
7678
7679
* Progress bars are now nested - see
7680
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
7681
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
7682
7683
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
7684
(Olaf Conradi)
7685
7686
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
7687
(Olaf Conradi)
7688
7689
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
7690
7691
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
7692
7693
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
7694
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
7695
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
7696
(Robert Collins)
7697
7698
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
7699
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
7700
7701
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
7702
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
7703
check. (Robert Collins)
7704
7705
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
7706
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
7707
7708
Testing
7709
*******
7710
7711
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
7712
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
7713
7714
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
7715
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
7716
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
7717
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
7718
7719
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
7720
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
7721
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
7722
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
7723
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
7724
7725
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
7726
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
7727
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
7728
7729
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
7730
7731
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
7732
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

7741
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
7742
7743
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
7744
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
7745
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
7746
(Johan Rydberg)

7748
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
7749
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
7750
7751
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
7752
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
7753
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
7754
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
7755
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
7756
7757
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
7758
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
7759
used. (Robert Collins)
7760
7761
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
7762
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
7763
(James Henstridge)
7764
7765
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
7766
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
7767
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
7768
7769
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
7770
ignore list.
7771
7772
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
7773

7789
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote

location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
7791

7807
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
7808

* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
7811
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or

7813
7814
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
7815
(Goffredo Baroncelli)

* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
7818
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
7819
requests.

7821
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
7822
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)

7920
7921
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
7922
imported. (Martin Pool)
7923
7924
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
7925
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
7926
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
7927
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
7928
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
7929
(Robert Collins)
7930
7931
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
7932
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
7933
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
7934

* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
7936
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that

test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
7938
7939
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
7940
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
7941
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
7942
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
7943
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
7944

* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
7954
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
7955
7956
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
7957
function. (Robert Collins)
7958
7959
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
7960
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
7961
if needed). (Robert Collins)
7962
7963
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
7964
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
7965
(Robert Collins)
7966
7967
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
7968
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
7969
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
7970
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
7971
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
7972
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
7973
version. (Robert Collins)
7974
7975
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
7976
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
7977
7978
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
7979
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
7980
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
7981
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
7982
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
7983
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
7984

8016
8017
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
8018
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
8019
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
8020
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
8021
8022
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
8023
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
8024
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
8025
when they are used. (Robert Collins)

8036
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
8037
(John A Meinel)
8038
8039
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
8040
conflicts.
8041
(Aaron Bentley)
8042
8043
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
8044
a separator, not ':'.
8045
(Aaron Bentley)
8046
8047
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
8048
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
8049
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
8050
8051
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
8052
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
8053
(Robert Collins)
8054
8055
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
8056
has been added that suppresses all output.
8057
8058
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
8059
Adams.
8060
8061
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
8062
Goffredo Baroncelli.
8063
8064
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
8065
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
8066
8067
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
8068
a revision. (Robert Collins)
8069
8070
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
8071
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
8072
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
8073
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
8074
8075
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
8076
8077
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
8078
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
8079
8080
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
8081
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
8082
8083
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
8084
output directory, if one was supplied.
8085
8086
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
8087
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
8088
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
8089
parameters. (Robert Collins)
8090
8091
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
8092
8093
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
8094
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
8095
8096
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
8097
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
8098
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
8099
8100
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
8101
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
8102
8103
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work

* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
8114
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
8115
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
8116
8117
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
8118
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
8119
related questions. (Robert Collins)
8120
8121
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
8122
is given. (Martin Pool)
8123
8124
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
8125
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
8126
file. (Robert Collins)
8127
8128

8133
8134
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
8135
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
8136
representation. (Martin Pool).
8137
8138
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
8139
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
8140
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
8141
8142
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
8143
(Robert Collins)
8144
8145
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
8146
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
8147
Magnus Therning.
8148
8149
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
8150
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
8151
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
8152
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
8153
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
8154
8155
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
8156
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
8157
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
8158
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
8159
python path. (Robert Collins)
8160
8161
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
8162
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
8163
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
8164
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
8165
8166
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
8167
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
8168
8169
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
8170
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
8171
(Robert Collins)
8172
8173
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
8174
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
8175
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
8176
8177
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
8178
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
8179
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
8180
8181
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
8182
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
8183
8184
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
8185
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
8186
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
8187
(Robert Collins)
8188
8189
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
8190
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
8191
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
8192
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
8193
(Robert Collins)
8194
8195
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
8196
(Robert Collins)
8197
8198
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
8199
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
8200
(Robert Collins)
8201
8202
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
8203
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
8204
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
8205
8206
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
8207
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
8208
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
8209
8210
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
8211
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
8212
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
8213
8214
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
8215
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
8216
8217
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
8218
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
8219
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
8220
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
8221
caller. (Robert Collins)
8222
8223
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
8224
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
8225
(Robert Collins).
8226
8227
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
8228
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
8229
(Aaron Bentley)
8230
8231
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
8232
8233
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
8234
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.

8284
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
8285

* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
8317
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
8318
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
8319
8320
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
8321
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
8322
'bzr upgrade'.
8323
8324
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by

* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
8331
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.

* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
8334

8335
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
8336
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
8337
8338
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.

* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
8359
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
8360

* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
8362
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
8363
handling of such circumstances.
8364
8365
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
8366
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
8367
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
8368
8369
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
8370
8371
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
8372
we call them revisions not patches.
8373
8374
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
8375
directory is created if it doesn't exist.

************
8441
8442
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
8443
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
8444
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
8445
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by

* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
8449
(Nir Soffer)
8450
8451
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
8452
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
8453
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
8454
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
8455
for the operating system is still tried.
8456
8457
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
8458
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
8459
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.

8581
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
8582
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
8583
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
8584
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
8585
8586
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
8587
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
8588
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
8589
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
8590
standard plugins directory.
8591
8592
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
8593
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
8594
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
8595
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
8596
8597
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
8598
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
8599
8600
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
8601
disk.
8602
8603
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
8604
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
8605
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
8606
8607
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
8608
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
8609
8610
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
8611
line options must come before the command name because they
8612
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
8613
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
8614
it.
8615
8616
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
8617
8618
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one

* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
8635
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
8636
8637
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
8638
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
8639
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
8640
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
8641
8642
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
8643
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
8644
with the ``--forward`` option.
8645
8646
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids

8648
field.

the tests.
8725
8726
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
8727
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
8728
8729
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
8730
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
