.. contents:: List of Releases
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)
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)
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)
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.
41
* New ``mv --auto`` option recognizes renames after they occur.
44
* ``bzr`` can now get passwords from stdin without requiring a controlling
45
terminal (i.e. by redirecting stdin). (Vincent Ladeuil)
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)
53
* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the
54
shelf, via the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
56
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
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``.
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)
71
* End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting
72
content filtering. See ``bzr help eol`` for details.
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)
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)
88
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
89
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
92
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
93
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
94
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
96
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
99
* IPv6 literals are accepted in URLs.
100
(stlman, Martin Pool, #165014)
102
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
103
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
105
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server
106
now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
109
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
110
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
111
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
113
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
114
to "Ignoring files outside view. View is .." to reduce confusion
115
about what was being considered and what was being ignored.
118
* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
119
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
120
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
121
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
123
* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!
129
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
130
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
131
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
132
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
134
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log
135
-m``. (Anne Mohsen, Martin Pool)
137
* ``bzr version-info`` now works in empty branches. (Jelmer Vernooij,
140
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
141
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
142
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
144
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
145
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
147
* Fixed "Specified file 'x/y/z' is outside current view: " occurring
148
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
149
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
151
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
152
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
153
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
154
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
156
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
158
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
159
(Vincent Ladeuil, #346593)
161
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
162
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
163
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
164
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
165
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
167
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
168
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
171
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
172
(James Westby, #341558)
174
* The help for the ``info`` command has been corrected.
175
(Ian Clatworthy, #351931)
177
* Upgrade will now use a sensible default format if the source repository
178
uses rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #252908)
183
* Expanded the index of the developer documentation. (Eric Siegerman)
185
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
187
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.
188
(James Westby, #336998)
193
* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous versions of bzr are now removed.
196
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
197
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
200
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
201
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
202
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
204
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
205
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
206
Meinel, Robert Collins)
208
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
209
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
210
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
211
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
214
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
215
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
218
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
221
* The ``Serializer`` class and the serializer ``format registry`` have moved
222
from ``bzrlib.xml_serializer`` to ``bzrlib.serializer``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
224
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
225
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
226
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
227
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
229
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
230
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
231
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
236
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
237
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
238
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
239
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
240
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
242
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
243
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
245
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
246
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
247
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
248
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
254
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
255
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
256
streaming on the the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
258
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
259
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
260
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
261
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
263
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
264
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
265
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
266
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
268
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
269
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
270
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
272
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
273
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
274
dependency. (Robert Collins)
276
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
277
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
278
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
280
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
281
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
284
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
285
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
286
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
288
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
289
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
291
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
292
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
293
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
295
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
296
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
297
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
299
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
300
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
301
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
302
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
303
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
305
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
306
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
307
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
308
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
310
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
311
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
312
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
313
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
315
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
316
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
317
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
319
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
320
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
323
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
324
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
325
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
327
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
328
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
329
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
330
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
331
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
333
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
334
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only linux
335
machine work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,
338
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
339
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
340
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
341
desired. (Robert Collins)
343
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include
344
information about ghosts when the special revision ``include-missing:``
345
is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
346
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
348
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
349
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
350
regardless of ``InterRepository``.
351
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
356
:Codename: paraskavedekatriaphobia
361
GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``. Debug
362
flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``. Lightweight checkouts and
363
stacked branches should both be much faster over remote connections.
365
Changes From 1.13 to 1.13.1
366
***************************
367
A couple regessions where found in the 1.13 release. The pyrex-generated C
368
extensions are missing from the .tar.gz and .zip files. Documentation on how
369
to generate GNU ChangeLogs is wrong.
374
* Change ``./bzr``'s ``_script_version`` to match ./bzrlib/__init__.py
375
version_info. (Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, #345232)
377
* Distribution archives for 1.13 do not contain generated C extension modules
378
(Jean-Francois Roy, Bob Tanner, #344465)
380
* GNU ChangeLog output can now be produced by bzr log --format gnu-changelog is
381
incorrect (Deejay, Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #343928)
383
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
385
Changes From RC1 to Final
386
*************************
388
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
389
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
390
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
392
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
393
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
398
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
399
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
400
command may need to be adjusted.
401
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
406
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
407
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
408
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
410
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
413
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
414
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
415
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
418
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
419
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
421
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
424
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
425
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
427
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernoij)
429
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
430
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
433
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
439
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
440
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
441
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
442
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
443
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
444
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
445
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
446
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
449
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
450
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
452
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
453
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
454
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
456
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
457
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
459
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
460
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
461
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
464
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
465
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
466
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
468
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
469
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
470
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
471
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
473
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
476
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
477
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
479
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
480
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
482
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
483
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
484
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
486
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
491
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
492
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
494
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
495
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
496
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
498
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
499
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
500
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
502
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
503
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
505
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
506
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
509
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
510
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
511
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
513
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
514
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
516
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
517
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
519
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
520
(James Westby, #174539)
522
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
523
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
525
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
526
error branching from old repositories.
527
(Martin Pool, #321695)
529
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
530
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
532
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
533
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
534
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
535
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
537
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
538
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko)
540
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
541
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
543
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
544
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
546
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
547
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
548
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
550
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
551
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
553
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.
554
(Benoît Pierre, Aaron Bentley)
559
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
560
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
561
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
564
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
565
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
567
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.
568
(Daniel Watkins, #327421, #327425)
573
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
574
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
575
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
576
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
577
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
579
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
580
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
582
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
583
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
584
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
585
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
586
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
587
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
589
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
590
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
592
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
593
"author" argument being deprecated.
595
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
597
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
598
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
599
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
600
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
602
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
603
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
604
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
606
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
607
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
608
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
610
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
611
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
613
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
614
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
615
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
616
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
621
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
622
free of virtual file system methods.
623
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
625
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
626
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
627
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
629
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
630
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
631
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
632
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
633
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
634
(Robert Collins, #334187)
636
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
638
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
639
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
641
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
642
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
643
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
644
stream the operation.
645
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
647
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
648
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
650
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
651
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
652
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
653
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
654
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
656
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
657
branch object. (Robert Collins)
659
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
660
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
661
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
663
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
664
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
667
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
670
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
671
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
672
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
674
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
675
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
676
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
678
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
679
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
680
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
682
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
683
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
684
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
686
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
687
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
688
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
689
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
690
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
692
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
693
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
694
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
695
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
696
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
697
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
699
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
700
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
701
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
702
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
703
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
705
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
706
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
708
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
709
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
711
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
712
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
713
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
714
to access private data in record to obtain content more
715
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
717
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
718
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.
725
:Codename: 1234567890
729
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
730
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
731
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
732
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
733
by showing the rate of network IO.
735
Changes from RC1 to Final
736
*************************
738
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
739
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
741
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
742
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
747
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
748
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
749
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
750
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
752
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
753
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
754
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
757
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
758
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
759
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
760
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
762
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
763
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
764
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
767
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
772
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
773
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
774
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
777
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
778
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
779
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
781
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
782
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
783
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
784
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
785
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
786
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
787
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
788
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
789
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
795
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
798
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
801
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
802
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
803
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
805
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
806
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
807
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
808
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
809
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
811
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
812
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
814
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
815
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
816
level for better precision.
819
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
820
rules. (Marius Kruger)
822
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
823
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
824
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
826
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
827
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
828
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
831
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
832
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
833
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
838
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
840
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
842
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
843
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
844
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
846
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
847
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
848
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
849
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
850
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
851
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
853
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
854
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
856
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
857
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
859
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
860
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
861
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
863
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
864
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
865
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
868
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
869
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
871
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
872
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
873
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
874
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
876
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
877
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
879
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
881
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)
886
* Improved plugin developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
891
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
892
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
895
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
896
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
898
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
899
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
901
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
902
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
904
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
905
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
906
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
907
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
909
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
910
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
911
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
916
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
917
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
918
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
919
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
920
compile buffers, are such an example).
923
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
924
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
927
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
928
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
929
efficient way of doing the mapping.
932
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
933
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
935
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
936
formatters to retrict the output.
940
bzr 1.11 "Eyes up!" 2009-01-19
941
##############################
943
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
944
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
945
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
946
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
947
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
949
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
950
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
953
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
954
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.
959
* Fix failing test when CompiledChunksToLines is not available.
962
* Stacked branches don't repeatedly open their transport connection.
967
bzr 1.11rc1 "Eyes up!" 2009-01-09
968
#################################
973
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
974
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
979
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
980
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
982
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
983
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
984
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
985
implement other plugins.
988
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
994
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
995
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
997
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
998
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
1000
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
1001
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
1002
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
1003
processes which drag in shell extensions.
1006
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
1007
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
1008
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
1009
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
1010
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
1012
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
1013
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
1014
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
1015
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
1016
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
1021
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
1022
control directory. (#139691)
1024
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
1025
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
1027
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
1028
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
1030
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
1031
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
1032
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
1034
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
1035
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
1037
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
1038
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
1039
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
1041
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
1042
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
1044
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
1047
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
1048
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
1049
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
1051
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
1052
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
1054
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
1055
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
1056
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
1058
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
1059
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
1060
in the appropriate sections.
1061
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
1063
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
1064
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
1065
(John Arbash meinel)
1067
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
1068
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
1070
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
1071
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
1073
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
1074
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1076
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
1077
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
1078
work better with how it splits its requests.
1079
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
1081
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
1082
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
1083
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
1085
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
1088
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
1090
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
1091
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
1093
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
1099
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
1100
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
1101
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
1107
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
1108
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
1109
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
1110
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1112
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
1113
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
1115
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
1116
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
1117
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
1118
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
1120
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
1121
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
1122
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
1123
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
1128
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
1129
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
1130
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
1132
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
1133
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
1134
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
1135
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
1137
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
1138
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
1139
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
1145
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
1146
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
1147
(John Arbash Meinel)
1149
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
1150
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
1151
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
1152
(John Arbash Meinel)
1154
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
1155
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
1156
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
1157
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
1159
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
1160
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
1161
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
1163
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
1164
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
1165
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
1166
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
1168
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
1169
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
1170
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
1171
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
1172
(John Arbash Meinel)
1174
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
1175
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
1177
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
1178
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
1179
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
1181
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
1182
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
1183
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
1184
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
1186
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
1187
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
1188
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
1189
(John Arbash Meinel)
1191
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
1192
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
1193
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
1194
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
1195
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
1196
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
1197
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1199
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
1200
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)
1207
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
1208
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
1209
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
1210
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
1213
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
1218
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
1219
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
1220
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
1221
(Martin Pool, #303856)
1223
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
1224
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
1225
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
1226
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
1227
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)

######################
1233
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
1234
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
1235
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
1236
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
1237
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
1242
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
1243
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1245
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
1251
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
1252
history just to set the last revision info.
1253
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1255
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
1256
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
1257
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
1258
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1260
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
1261
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
1262
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
1263
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
1264
(John Arbash Meinel)
1266
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
1267
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1269
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
1270
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
1271
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
1272
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
1273
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
1275
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
1276
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
1277
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
1278
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
1283
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
1284
(Martin Pool, #289148)
1286
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
1287
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
1289
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
1290
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
1291
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
1292
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
1294
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
1295
starting with a dotted revno.
1296
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
1298
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
1299
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
1300
(Martin Pool, #288751)
1302
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
1303
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
1304
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
1306
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
1307
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
1308
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
1310
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
1311
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
1312
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
1313
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
1315
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
1316
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
1317
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
1319
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
1320
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
1325
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
1326
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
1327
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
1328
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
1330
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
1331
have changed incompatibly.
1333
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
1334
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
1335
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
1336
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
1337
don't need to change.
1339
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
1340
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
1345
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
1346
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
1348
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
1354
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
1355
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
1356
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
1357
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
1358
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
1359
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
1364
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
1365
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
1367
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
1369
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
1370
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.

#####################
1380
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
1381
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
1383
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
1384
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
1385
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
1386
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
1391
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
1392
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
1393
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
1394
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
1395
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
1396
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
1398
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
1399
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1401
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
1402
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
1403
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
1405
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
1406
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
1407
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
1410
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
1411
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
1413
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
1414
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
1416
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
1417
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
1419
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
1420
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
1421
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
1422
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
1423
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
1424
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
1425
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
1426
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
1427
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
1428
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
1433
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
1434
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
1436
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
1437
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
1439
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
1440
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
1441
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
1443
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
1444
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
1445
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
1447
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
1448
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
1449
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
1451
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
1452
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
1453
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
1454
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
1455
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
1456
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
1458
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
1459
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
1461
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
1462
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
1464
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
1465
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
1466
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
1467
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
1468
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
1470
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
1471
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
1472
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
1473
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
1478
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
1483
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
1488
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
1489
configuration of authetication credentials.
1495
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
1496
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
1497
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
1498
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
1499
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
1504
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
1505
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
1510
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
1511
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
1514
bzr 1.8rc1 2008-10-07
1515
#####################
1520
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
1521
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
1522
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
1523
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
1524
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
1526
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
1527
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
1529
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
1530
server. (Marius Kruger)
1532
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
1533
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
1534
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
1535
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
1536
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
1537
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
1542
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
1543
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
1544
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
1546
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
1551
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
1552
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
1553
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
1554
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
1556
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
1557
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
1560
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
1561
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
1564
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
1567
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
1569
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
1570
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
1572
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
1573
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
1575
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
1576
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
1577
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
1578
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
1579
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
1580
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
1581
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
1582
operations. (Robert Collins)
1584
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
1586
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
1587
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
1588
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
1593
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
1594
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
1595
(Martin Pool, #279381)
1597
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
1598
repository now preserves the repository format.
1599
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
1601
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
1602
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
1604
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
1605
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
1607
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
1609
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
1611
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
1614
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
1615
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
1616
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
1618
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
1619
is in a different repository than the current one.
1620
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
1622
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
1623
(David Futcher, #242106)
1625
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
1626
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1628
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
1629
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
1630
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
1631
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
1633
* Trivial documentation fix.
1634
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
1636
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
1637
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
1638
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
1639
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
1644
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
1649
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
1650
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
1651
to use. (Robert Collins)
1653
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
1654
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
1655
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
1657
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
1658
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
1659
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
1660
they want. (Robert Collins)
1665
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
1666
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
1667
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
1669
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
1670
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
1673
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
1676
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
1677
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
1679
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
1685
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
1686
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
1688
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
1689
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
1690
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
1692
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
1693
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
1694
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
1696
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
1697
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1699
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
1700
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
1702
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
1703
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
1705
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
1706
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
1707
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
1708
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept

This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
1723
file paths when we encounter complex history.
1728
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
1729
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
1730
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
1731
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.

This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
1739
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
1740
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
1741
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
1742
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.

There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.

trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
1759
connect to the stacked-on location.
1764
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
1765
repository now preserves the repository format.
1766
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
1768
* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect
1769
to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
1771
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
1774
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.

1779
#####################
1781
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
1782
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
1783
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
1784
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
1785
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
1786
it in a future repository format.
1792
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
1795
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
1796
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
1797
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
1799
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
1800
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
1801
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
1806
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
1807
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
1809
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
1814
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
1815
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
1818
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
1819
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
1821
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
1822
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
1825
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
1826
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
1827
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
1828
(John Arbash Meinel)
1830
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
1831
(Martin Pool, #261315)
1833
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
1834
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
1835
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
1836
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
1837
(John Arbash Meinel)
1839
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
1840
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
1841
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
1842
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
1843
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
1844
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
1845
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
1846
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
1847
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
1848
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1853
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
1854
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
1856
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
1857
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
1858
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
1860
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
1861
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
1862
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
1864
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
1865
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
1866
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
1867
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
1868
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
1869
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
1871
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
1872
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
1874
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
1875
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
1877
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
1878
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
1879
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
1880
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
1881
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
1882
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
1884
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
1885
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
1887
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
1888
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
1890
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
1891
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
1892
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
1893
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
1895
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
1896
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
1898
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
1899
assuming the host name is ascii.
1900
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
1902
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
1903
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
1908
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
1913
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
1915
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
1916
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
1917
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
1920
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
1921
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1923
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
1924
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
1926
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
1927
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
1932
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
1933
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
1934
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
1935
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
1937
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
1941
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
1942
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
1943
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1945
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
1951
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
1952
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
1955
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
1956
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
1957
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
1958
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
1959
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1961
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
1962
is unknown in both source and target.
1963
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
1965
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
1966
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
1967
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
1968
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1970
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
1971
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
1972
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
1973
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

####################
1979
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
1980
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
1981
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
1984
bzr 1.6.1rc2 2008-09-03
1985
#######################
1990
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
1991
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
1992
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
1993
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
1996
bzr 1.6.1rc1 2008-08-29
1997
#######################
1999
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
2000
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
2001
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
2002
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
2003
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
2004
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
2005
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
2006
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
2007
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
2008
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
2009
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
2010
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
2015
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
2016
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
2017
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
2018
start of the string (causing more copies).
2019
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
2020
especially for projects with large files.
2021
(John Arbash Meinel)
2023
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
2024
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
2025
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
2026
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
2027
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
2029
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
2030
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
2031
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
2032
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
2033
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.
2034
(John Arbash Meinel, #262333)
2040
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
2041
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
2042
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
2043
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
2044
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
2045
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
2046
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
2047
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
2048
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
2051
bzr 1.6rc5 2008-08-19
2052
#####################
2057
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
2058
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
2059
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
2060
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
2061
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
2064
bzr 1.6rc4 2008-08-18
2065
#####################
2070
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
2071
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
2072
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
2075
bzr 1.6rc3 2008-08-14
2076
#####################
2081
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
2082
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
2088
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
2089
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
2090
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
2096
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
2097
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
2098
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
2100
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
2101
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
2102
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
2103
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
2104
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
2105
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
2106
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
2109
bzr 1.6rc2 2008-08-13
2110
#####################
2112
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
2118
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
2119
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
2121
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
2122
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
2125
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
2126
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
2127
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
2128
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
2129
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
2131
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
2132
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2134
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
2135
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
2137
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
2138
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
2140
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
2141
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
2142
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
2143
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
2144
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
2145
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
2148
bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
2149
#####################
2151
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
2152
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
2153
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
2154
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
2155
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
2160
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
2161
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
2162
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
2167
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
2168
check. (Daniel Watkins)
2170
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
2171
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
2173
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
2174
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
2175
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2177
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
2180
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
2181
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
2182
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
2183
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
2184
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
2185
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
2186
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2188
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
2189
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
2190
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
2195
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
2196
physical repository boundaries.
2197
(Martin Pool, #252428)
2199
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
2200
(Martin Pool, #206258)
2202
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
2203
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
2206
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
2209
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
2210
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
2211
that Python is running from.
2212
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
2214
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
2215
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
2216
(Robert Collins, #150438)
2218
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
2219
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
2221
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
2222
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
2223
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
2225
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
2226
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
2228
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
2229
(James Westby, #248448)
2234
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
2235
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
2236
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
2239
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
2240
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
2243
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
2244
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
2245
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
2246
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
2247
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
2248
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
2251
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
2252
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2254
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
2255
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
2256
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
2257
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
2258
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
2259
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
2264
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
2265
putting together a real history without having to create a full
2266
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
2267
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
2268
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
2269
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2271
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
2272
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
2273
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
2275
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
2278
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
2279
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
2281
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.

#######################
2288
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
2289
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
2290
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
2291
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
2297
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
2298
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
2299
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
2301
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
2302
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
2303
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
2304
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
2305
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
2308
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
2310
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
2311
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
2312
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
2318
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
2319
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
2322
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
2323
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
2324
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
2325
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
2327
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
2328
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
2329
(Christophe Troestler)
2331
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
2332
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
2334
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
2335
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
2336
faster. The new request method name is
2337
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2342
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
2343
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
2344
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
2345
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
2346
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
2348
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
2349
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
2351
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
2352
requires a branch to be present.
2353
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
2355
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
2357
(Martin Pool, #205230)
2359
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
2360
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
2361
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
2362
(Martin Pool, #240161)
2364
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
2365
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
2367
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
2369
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
2371
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
2372
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
2373
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
2374
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
2375
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
2377
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
2378
(Martin Pool, #172870)
2380
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
2381
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
2383
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
2385
(Matt McClure, #209281)
2387
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
2388
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
2390
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
2391
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
2396
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
2399
* Updated developer documentation.
2405
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
2406
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
2408
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
2409
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
2410
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
2411
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
2416
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
2417
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
2418
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
2419
Repository docstring for more details.
2422
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
2423
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
2424
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
2426
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
2427
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
2430
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
2431
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
2432
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
2433
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
2438
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
2439
(Alexander Belchenko)
2441
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
2442
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
2443
containing a given location.
2446
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
2447
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
2448
storage. (Robert Collins)
2450
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
2453
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
2454
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.

bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
2459
#######################
2461
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
2462
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
2463
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
2469
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
2470
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
2471
reading from the repository.)
2472
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
2474
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
2475
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
2477
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
2478
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
2481
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
2482
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
2483
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
2485
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
2486
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
2487
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
2489
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
2490
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
2492
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
2493
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
2494
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
2495
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
2500
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
2502
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
2503
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
2504
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
2507
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
2508
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
2513
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2518
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
2519
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
2524
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
2525
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
2526
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
2527
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
2528
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
2530
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
2531
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
2536
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
2537
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
2539
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
2540
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
2542
bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
2543
#######################
2546
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
2547
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
2548
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
2549
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
2550
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
2551
and future extensions.
2554
Notes When Upgrading
2555
********************
2557
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
2558
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
2559
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
2560
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
2561
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
2562
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
2563
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
2564
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
2569
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
2570
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
2571
(John Arbash Meinel)
2576
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
2577
load. (James Westby)
2582
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
2583
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
2584
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
2585
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2587
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
2588
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
2589
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
2591
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
2592
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
2594
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
2595
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
2596
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
2598
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
2599
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
2600
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
2601
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
2602
step closer to not using full revision history.
2603
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
2608
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
2609
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
2611
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
2612
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
2614
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
2615
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
2617
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
2618
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
2619
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
2620
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
2622
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
2623
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
2624
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
2625
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
2627
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
2628
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
2629
in use by another process.
2632
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
2633
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
2634
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
2635
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
2637
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
2638
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
2640
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
2641
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
2642
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
2644
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
2645
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
2646
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
2648
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
2650
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
2652
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
2653
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
2655
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
2656
under vim on Mac OS X.
2657
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2659
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
2660
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
2665
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
2666
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
2668
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
2669
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
2672
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
2673
and about use of Python reprs.
2674
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
2676
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
2681
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
2684
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
2685
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
2687
* New helper function for splitting test suites
2688
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
2693
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
2694
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
2695
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
2696
(John Arbash Meinel)
2701
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
2702
instead. (Martin Pool)
2704
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
2705
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
2706
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
2707
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
2709
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
2710
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
2711
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
2712
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
2713
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
2715
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
2716
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
2717
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
2718
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
2719
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
2720
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
2722
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
2723
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
2726
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
2727
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
2730
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
2731
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
2732
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
2733
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
2735
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
2736
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
2737
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
2739
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
2740
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
2741
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
2742
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
2743
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
2746
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
2747
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
2748
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
2749
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
2752
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
2753
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
2754
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
2755
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
2756
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
2758
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
2765
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
2766
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
2767
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
2772
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
2773
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
2774
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
2779
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
2780
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
2784

#####################
2790
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
2791
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
2792
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
2793
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
2798
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
2799
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
2801
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
2802
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
2804
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
2810
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
2811
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
2813
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
2814
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
2816
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
2817
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
2818
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
2820
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
2821
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
2822
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
2824
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
2827
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
2828
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
2830
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
2831
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
2833
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
2834
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
2836
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
2837
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
2839
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
2840
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
2841
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
2843
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
2844
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
2846
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
2847
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
2849
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
2850
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
2851
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
2852
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
2854
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
2855
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
2858
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
2859
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
2860
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
2862
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
2863
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
2864
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
2865
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
2866
every revision each side had in common.
2867
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2869
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
2870
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
2872
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
2873
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
2874
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
2875
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
2880
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
2881
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
2882
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
2883
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
2885
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
2887
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
2889
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
2890
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
2895
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
2896
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
2897
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
2899
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
2900
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
2901
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
2902
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
2904
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
2905
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2907
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
2908
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
2909
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
2910
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2912
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
2913
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
2914
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
2915
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2920
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
2921
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
2922
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
2924
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
2926
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
2927
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
2929
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
2930
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2932
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
2933
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
2938
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
2939
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
2940
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
2942
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
2943
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
2944
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
2947
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
2948
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
2951
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.
2958
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
2959
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
2960
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
2961
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
2962
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
2963
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
2964
and faster performance.
2969
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
2970
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
2971
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

2981
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
2982

2983
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
2985
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
2986
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
2988
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
2989
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
2991
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
2992
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
2993
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
2994
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
2995
every revision each side had in common.

#####################
3005
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
3007
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
3008
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
3010
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
3011
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
3012
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
3014
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
3015
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
3016
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
3017
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
3018
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
3019
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
3022
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
3023
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
3024
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
3025
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
3030
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
3032
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
3033
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
3034
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
3036
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
3037
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
3038
See the User Reference for signature details.
3039
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
3041
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
3042
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
3047
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
3048
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
3049
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
3050
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3052
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
3053
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
3055
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
3056
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
3057
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
3060
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
3063
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
3064
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
3065
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
3067
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
3070
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
3071
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
3073
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
3074
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
3076
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
3077
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
3078
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
3080
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
3081
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
3082
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
3083
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
3084
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
3086
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
3087
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
3089
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
3090
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
3095
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
3096
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
3097
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
3098
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
3099
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
3100
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
3102
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
3103
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
3105
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
3106
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
3107
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
3109
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
3110
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
3112
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
3113
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
3114
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
3115
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3117
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
3118
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
3119
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
3120
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
3121
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
3123
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
3125
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
3126
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
3128
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
3130
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
3131
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
3133
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
3134
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
3139
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
3141
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
3143
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
3145
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
3150
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
3151
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
3152
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
3154
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
3155
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
3156
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
3157
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
3159
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
3160
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
3161
release. (James Westby)
3163
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
3166
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
3168
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
3169
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
3171
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
3172
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
3174
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
3175
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
3177
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
3178
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
3179
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
3181
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
3182
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
3183
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
3184
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
3186
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
3187
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
3188
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
3189
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
3191
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
3192
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
3193
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
3194
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
3195
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
3196
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
3198
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
3199
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
3200
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
3202
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
3203
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
3205
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
3206
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
3209
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
3210
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
3212
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
3213
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
3215
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
3216
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
3218
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
3219
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
3220
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
3222
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
3223
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
3224
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
3225
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
3226
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
3227
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
3232
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
3233
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
3234
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
3235
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
3237
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
3238
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
3239
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
3240
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
3244
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
3245
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
3248
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
3249
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
3251
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
3253
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
3254
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
3255
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
3260
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3262
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
3265
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
3266
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
3267
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
3268
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
3269
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
3270
(Martin Pool, #109520)
3272
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
3273
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
3275
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
3276
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
3277
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
3278
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
3280
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
3281
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
3283
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
3284
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
3326
********************
3328
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
3329
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
3334
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
3335
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
3336
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
3337
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
3340
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
3341
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
3342
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
3343
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
3344
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
3345
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
3347
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
3348
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
3349
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
3350
(Alexander Belchenko)
3352
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
3354
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
3355
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
3360
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
3361
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
3363
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
3364
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
3370
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
3372
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3374
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
3375
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
3376
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
3378
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
3379
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
3381
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
3382
to. (Daniel Watkins)
3384
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
3385
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
3386
(Alexander Belchenko)
3388
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
3389
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
3390
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
3391
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
3393
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
3396
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
3397
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
3398
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
3399
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
3400
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
3405
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
3406
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
3407
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
3408
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
3410
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
3411
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
3413
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
3414
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)

* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
3417
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.

3420
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
3421
(#198793, John Ferlito)
3423
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
3426
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
3427
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
3429
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
3431
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
3433
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
3434
symlinks (James Henstridge)
3436
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
3437
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
3439
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
3440
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
3442
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
3443
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
3445
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
3446
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
3448
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
3449
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
3454
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
3455
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
3460
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
3461
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
3462
(Alexander Belchenko)
3467
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
3469
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
3470
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
3476
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
3477
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
3478
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
3480
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
3481
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
3482
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
3483
(Alexander Belchenko)
3485
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
3486
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
3487
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
3488
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
3490
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
3491
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
3492
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
3495
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
3496
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
3497
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
3499
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
3500
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
3501
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
3503
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
3504
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
3505
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
3506
format. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
3522
********************
3524
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
3525
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
3526
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
3527
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
3528
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
3534
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
3535
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
3537
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
3538
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
3539
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
3541
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
3542
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
3543
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
3544
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
3545
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
3546
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
3552
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
3553
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3555
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
3556
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
3557
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
3560
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
3561
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
3562
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
3563
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
3564
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
3566
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
3567
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
3568
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
3569
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
3570
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
3571
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
3572
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
3573
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
3578
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
3579
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
3581
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
3582
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
3584
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
3585
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3587
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
3588
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
3589
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
3591
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
3592
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
3593
(John Arbash Meinel)
3598
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
3599
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
3601
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
3602
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
3604
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
3605
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
3607
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
3608
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
3609
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
3611
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
3612
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
3613
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
3615
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
3616
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
3618
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
3619
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
3620
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
3621
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
3622
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
3624
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
3626
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
3627
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
3630
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
3631
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
3633
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
3634
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
3636
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
3637
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
3639
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
3640
more characters which should be considered valid.
3641
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
3643
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
3644
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
3646
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
3647
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
3652
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
3653
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
3655
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
3656
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
3662
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
3663
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
3669
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
3670
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
3671
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
3673
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
3674
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
3675
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
3677
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
3678
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
3679
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
3680
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
3682
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
3684
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
3685
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
3686
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
3687
server. (Robert Collins)
3689
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
3690
operate. (Robert Collins)
3692
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
3693
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
3694
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
3696
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
3697
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
3698
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
3699
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
3701
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
3702
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
3704
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
3705
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
3706
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
3708
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
3709
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
3711
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
3712
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
3714
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
3715
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
3716
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
3717
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

(no changes from 1.1rc1)
3725
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
3726
#####################
3731
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
3732
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
3733
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
3734
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
3736
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
3737
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
3738
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
3739
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
3744
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
3747
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
3750
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
3751
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
3756
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
3759
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
3760
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
3761
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
3763
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
3765
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
3766
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
3767
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
3768
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
3769
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
3771
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
3772
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
3773
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
3775
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
3776
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
3778
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
3781
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
3783
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
3785
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
3788
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
3789
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
3794
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
3795
(Martin Pool, #180208)
3797
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
3798
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
3800
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
3803
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
3804
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
3806
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
3807
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
3809
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
3810
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3812
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
3813
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
3815
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
3816
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
3817
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
3819
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
3820
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
3822
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
3823
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
3826
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
3828
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
3829
user:pass embedded in the urls.
3830
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
3832
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
3833
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
3835
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
3838
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
3841
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
3842
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
3844
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
3847
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
3848
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
3851
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
3852
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
3853
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
3858
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
3861
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
3862
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
3863
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
3864
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
3865
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
3866
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
3868
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
3873
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
3876
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
3877
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
3879
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
3881
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
3882
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
3883
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
3886
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
3887
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3889
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
3898
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
3899
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
3900
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
3902
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
3903
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
3906
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
3907
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
3909
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
3910
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
3912
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
3913
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
3915
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
3916
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
3917
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
3919
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
3920
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
3922
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
3923
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
3925
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
3926
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
3929
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
3930
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
3932
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
3933
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
3942
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
3944
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
3947
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
3949
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
3950

Notes When Upgrading
4075
********************
4077
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
4078
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
4079
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
4080
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
4082
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
4083
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
4085
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
4086
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
4088
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
4089
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
4090
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
4091
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
4092
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
4093
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
4094
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
4095
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
4096
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
4097
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
4098
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
4099
from any tree without problems.
4100
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
4105
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
4106
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
4107
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
4109
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
4110
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
4116
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
4117
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
4118
supported transports.
4121
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
4122
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
4123
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
4125
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
4126
(Robert Collins, #154173)
4128
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
4129
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
4130
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
4131
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
4133
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
4134
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
4139
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
4140
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
4141
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
4142
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4144
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
4145
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
4146
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
4147
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
4149
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
4150
(Robert Collins, #88319)
4152
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
4153
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
4155
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
4156
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
4158
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
4159
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
4165
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
4168
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
4169
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
4172
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
4173
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
4174
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
4175
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
4177
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
4178
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
4179
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
4180
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
4188
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
4189
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
4191
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
4192
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
4194
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
4195
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
4197
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
4198
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
4200
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
4201
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
4203
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
4204
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
4206
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
4207
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
4209
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
4212
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
4213
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
4215
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
4216
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
4217
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
4219
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
4220
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
4222
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
4223
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
4225
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
4226
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
4228
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
4229
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
4231
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
4232
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
4233
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
4234
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
4236
(Martin Pool, #164637)
4238
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
4239
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
4240
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
4242
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
4243
(Robert Collins, #161240)
4245
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
4247
(Martin Pool, #164443)
4249
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
4250
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
4252
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
4253
specify a port in urls.
4254
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
4256
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
4257
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
4259
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
4260
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
4262
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
4263
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
4265
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
4266
(Robert Collins, #153789)
4268
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
4269
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
4270
(Robert Collins, #165304).
4272
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
4274
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
4275
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
4277
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
4280
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
4281
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
4283
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
4284
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
4286
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
4287
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
4288
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
4290
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
4291
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
4293
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
4294
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
4295
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
4296
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
4298
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
4299
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
4301
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
4302
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
4303
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
4305
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
4306
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
4308
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
4309
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
4311
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
4312
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
4317
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
4318
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
4320
* The return value of
4321
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
4322
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
4323
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
4324
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
4326
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
4329
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
4330
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
4337
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
4338
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
4339
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
4342
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
4343
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
4345
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
4354
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
4357
bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29

######################
4363
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
4364
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
4366
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
4367
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
4368
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
4369
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
4370
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
4371
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
4372
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
4373
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
4374
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
4375
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
4376
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
4377
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
4383
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
4384
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
4385
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
4386
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
4387
commands. (Robert Collins)
4389
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
4390
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
4391
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
4394
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
4396
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
4397
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
4399
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
4400
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
4403
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
4404
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
4405
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
4410
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
4411
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
4413
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
4414
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
4416
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
4417
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
4418
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
4419
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
4421
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
4424
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
4425
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
4426
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
4427
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
4429
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
4430
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
4432
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
4433
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
4435
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
4436
the contents. (Robert Collins)
4438
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
4439
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
4444
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
4445
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
4447
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
4448
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
4450
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
4451
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
4453
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
4454
(Martin Pool, #63894)
4456
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
4457
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
4462
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
4464
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
4470
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
4471
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
4472
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
4474
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
4475
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
4477
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
4478
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
4480
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
4481
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
4482
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
4483
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
4485
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
4486
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
4487
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
4488
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
4489
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
4491
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
4492
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
4494
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
4496
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
4498
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
4499
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
4501
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
4502
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
4504
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
4505
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
4507
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
4508
contains a symbolic link.
4509
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
4511
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
4512
(James Westby, #140615)
4514
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
4515
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
4516
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
4518
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
4519
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
4520
(Martin Pool, #144633)
4522
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4524
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
4525
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
4527
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
4529
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
4531
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
4532
directory to detect leaking tests.
4533
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
4535
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
4536
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
4537
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
4539
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
4542
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
4543
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
4545
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
4551
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
4552
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
4554
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
4555
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
4556
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
4558
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
4559
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
4560
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
4562
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
4563
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
4565
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
4566
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
4568
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
4569
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
4572
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
4573
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
4575
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
4576
class that needs it.
4579
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
4580
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
4582
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
4583
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
4584
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
4586
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
4587
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
4588
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
4591
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
4592
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
4593
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
4594
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
4600
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
4601
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
4602
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
4604
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
4605
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
4606
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
4607
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
4609
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
4610
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
4613
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
4614
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
4615
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
4617
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
4618
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
4619
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
4621
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
4622
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
4624
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
4625
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
4626
to complete. (Robert Collins)
4628
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
4629
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
4631
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
4632
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
4633
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
4635
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
4636
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
4637
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
4639
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
4640
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
4641
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
4642
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
4644
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
4645
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
4646
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
4647
returned. (Robert Collins)
4649
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
4650
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
4652
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
4653
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
4654
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
4655
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
4658
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
4659
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
4664
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
4665
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
4667
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
4668
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
4669
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
4670
makes this behavior available to other users.
4673
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
4674
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
4683
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
4684
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
4685
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
4687
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
4689
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
4690
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
4691
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
4692
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
4694
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
4695
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
4699
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11

4702
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left

######################
4712
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
4713
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
4714
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
4715
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
4718
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
4719
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
4720
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
4726
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
4727
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
4728
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
4731
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
4732
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
4733
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
4735
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
4736
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
4737
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
4739
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
4740
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
4742
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
4743
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
4744
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
4745
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
4746
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
4747
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
4748
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
4749
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
4750
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
4751
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
4753
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
4754
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
4756
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
4757
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
4758
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
4763
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
4764
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
4766
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
4767
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
4768
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
4770
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
4771
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
4773
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
4774
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
4776
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
4779
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
4780
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
4782
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
4783
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
4785
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
4786
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4788
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
4789
(Blake Winton, #129299)
4791
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
4793
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
4796
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
4797
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
4798
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
4799
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
4801
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4803
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
4804
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
4807
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
4808
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
4810
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
4811
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
4814
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
4815
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
4817
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
4818
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
4820
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
4821
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
4822
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
4823
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
4824
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
4825
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
4826
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
4828
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
4829
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
4831
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
4832
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
4834
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
4835
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
4837
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
4838
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
4840
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
4842
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
4844
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
4845
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
4847
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
4848
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
4849
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
4851
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
4852
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
4853
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
4858
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
4859
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4861
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
4864
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
4867
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
4868
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
4870
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
4872
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
4873
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
4875
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
4876
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
4878
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
4879
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
4880
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
4881
space). (Robert Collins)
4883
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
4884
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
4887
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
4888
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4890
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
4891
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
4893
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
4894
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
4895
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
4896
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
4898
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
4899
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
4900
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
4903
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
4906
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
4907
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
4908
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
4910
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
4911
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
4912
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
4913
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
4914
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
4919
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
4920
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
4922
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
4923
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
4924
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
4925
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
4926
affected. (Robert Collins)
4928
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
4929
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
4930
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
4933
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
4934
previous release. (Martin Pool)
4939
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
4940
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
4942
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
4943
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4945
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
4946
previous release. (Martin Pool)
4948
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
4951
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
4952
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4957
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
4958
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
4959
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
4960
its version information. (Robert Collins)
4962
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
4963
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4965
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
4966
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
4967
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
4968
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4970
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
4971
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
4972
present. (Robert Collins)
4974
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
4975
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
4976
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
4977
API. (Robert Collins)
4979
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
4980
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
4983
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
4984
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
4986
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
4987
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
4988
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
4989
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
4990
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
4991
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
4993
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
4994
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
4995
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
4997
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
4998
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
4999
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
5000
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
5003
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
5006
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
5007
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
5008
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
5009
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
5010
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
5011
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
5012
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
5014
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
5015
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
5016
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
5017
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
5019
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
5020
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
5021
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
5022
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
5023
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
5024
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
5026
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
5027
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
5028
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
5030
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
5031
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
5040
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
5041
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
5042
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
5043
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
5044
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
5045
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
5046
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
5047
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
5053
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
5054
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
5055
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
5058
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
5059
######################
5064
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
5065
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
5066
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
5067
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
5068
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
5070
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
5071
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
5073
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
5075
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
5077
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
5078
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
5081
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
5082
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
5085
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
5088
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
5089
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
5091
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
5092
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
5094
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
5095
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
5097
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
5098
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
5100
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
5101
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
5103
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
5109
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
5110
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
5112
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
5113
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
5115
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
5116
the repository (Robert Collins)
5118
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
5119
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
5120
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
5121
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
5122
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
5124
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
5125
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
5127
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
5128
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
5129
(John Arbash Meinel)
5131
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
5132
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
5133
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
5135
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
5136
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
5137
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
5138
(John Arbash Meinel)
5140
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
5141
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
5144
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
5145
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
5147
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
5150
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
5152
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
5154
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
5155
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
5157
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
5158
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
5161
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
5162
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
5163
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
5164
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
5166
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
5167
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
5168
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
5170
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
5171
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
5172
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
5174
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
5175
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
5177
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
5178
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
5179
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
5180
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
5181
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
5182
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
5185
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
5186
(Alexander Belchenko)
5188
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
5189
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
5191
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
5192
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
5194
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
5196
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
5197
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
5202
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
5203
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
5204
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
5205
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
5207
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
5209
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
5212
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
5213
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
5214
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
5215
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
5216
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
5217
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
5222
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
5223
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
5224
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
5225
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
5227
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
5228
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
5229
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
5230
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
5231
tests have been refactored too.
5234
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
5235
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
5236
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
5240
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
5241
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
5242
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
5244
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
5245
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
5246
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
5247
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
5248
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
5249
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
5250
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
5252
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
5253
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
5254
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
5255
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
5256
(John Arbash Meinel)
5258
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
5259
functionality for testing.
5261
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
5263
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
5264
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
5266
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
5268
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
5271
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
5272
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
5274
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
5275
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
5276
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
5278
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
5281
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
5282
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
5284
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
5285
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
5286
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
5287
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
5289
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
5290
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
5292
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
5293
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
5294
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
5296
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
5299
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
5300
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
5301
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
5302
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
5303
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
5304
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
5306
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
5307
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
5308
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
5309
many files. (Robert Collins)
5311
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
5312
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
5313
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
5314
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
5319
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
5320
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
5321
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
5323
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
5324
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
5326
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
5327
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
5328
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
5487
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
5488

5492
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)

5495
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5497
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
5499
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
5500
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
5501
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
5502
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
5503
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
5504
same location. (Robert Collins)
5509
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
5511
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
5513
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
5515
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
5518
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
5521
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
5522
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
5523
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
5525
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
5527
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
5528
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
5529
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
5531
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
5532
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
5534
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
5535
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
5536
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
5538
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
5539
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
5540
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
5542
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
5543
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
5544
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
5546
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
5547
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
5550
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
5551
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
5553
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
5554
(Alexander Belchenko)
5559
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
5560
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
5561
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
5562
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
5564
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
5565
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
5566
testing. (Robert Collins)
5568
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
5569
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
5571
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
5572
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
5573
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
5574
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
5575
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
5576
attribute during the test parameterisation in
5577
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
5579
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
5580
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
5581
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
5582
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
5584
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
5585
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
5587
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
5588
avoid useless cloning.

Notes When Upgrading
5609
********************
5611
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
5612
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
5613
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
5614
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
5615
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
5616
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
5617
and unlock() like so::
5619
work_tree.lock_read()
5621
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
5627
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
5628
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
5630
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
5631
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
5632
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
5634
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
5635
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
5636
too. (Robert Collins)
5641
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
5642
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
5645
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
5646
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
5648
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
5649
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
5651
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
5652
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
5653
understanding what changes have occurred
5654
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
5656
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
5657
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
5658
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
5660
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
5661
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
5662
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
5663
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
5665
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
5671
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
5672
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
5673
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
5674
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
5675
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
5677
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
5678
based on split paths, not just string paths.
5679
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
5681
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
5682
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
5684
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
5686
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
5688
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
5689
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
5691
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
5692
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
5694
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
5695
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
5697
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
5698
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
5700
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
5701
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
5703
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
5704
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
5705
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
5708
####################
5713
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
5714
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
5715
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
5716
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
5717
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
5719
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
5720
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
5721
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
5723
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
5724
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
5729
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
5730
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
5731
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
5733
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
5734
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
5735
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of

both. (John Arbash Meinel)

5759
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned

Notes When Upgrading
5766
********************
5768
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
5769
it could be recovered again.
5770
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
5771
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
5772
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
5774
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
5776
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
5777
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
5782
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
5783
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
5785
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
5786
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
5787
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
5788
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
5790
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
5791
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
5793
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
5794
tests with names that match that regular expression.
5795
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
5797
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
5798
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
5799
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
5801
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
5802
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
5803
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
5805
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
5806
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
5809
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
5812
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
5813
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
5814
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
5815
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
5817
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
5820
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
5821
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
5822
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
5825
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
5826
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
5828
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
5829
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
5831
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
5832
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
5833
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
5834
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
5837
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
5838
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
5840
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
5841
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
5843
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
5844
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
5845
(Robert Collins, #107125).
5847
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
5848
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
5849
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
5851
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
5852
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
5853
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5855
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
5856
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
5857
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
5858
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
5860
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
5861
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
5862
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
5863
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
5865
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
5866
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
5867
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
5868
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
5869
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
5870
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
5871
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
5872
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
5879
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
5880
code paths. (Robert Collins)
5882
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
5883
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
5884
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
5885
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
5886
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5888
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
5889
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
5891
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
5892
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
5894
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
5895
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
5897
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
5898
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
5900
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
5901
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
5902
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
5905
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
5906
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
5907
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
5908
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
5909
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
5912
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
5913
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
5914
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
5916
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
5917
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
5920
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
5921
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
5922
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
5925
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
5926
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
5927
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
5928
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
5929
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
5931
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
5932
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
5933
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
5934
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5936
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
5937
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
5939
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
5940
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
5941
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
5942
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
5943
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
5944
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
5946
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
5947
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
5949
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
5950
help. (Robert Collins)
5952
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
5953
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
5955
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
5956
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
5957
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
5958
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
5959
(John Arbash Meinel)
5961
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
5962
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
5963
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
5964
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
5965
useful. (Robert Collins)
5967
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
5973
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
5974
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
5976
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
5977
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
5979
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
5980
properly and is no longer beneficial.
5981
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
5983
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
5986
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
5987
the file, and does it faster.
5988
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
5990
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
5991
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
5992
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
5994
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
5995
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
5996
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
5997
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
5999
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
6000
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
6001
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
6002
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
6004
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
6005
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
6007
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
6008
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
6009
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
6010
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
6013
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
6015
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
6016
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
6018
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
6019
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
6021
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
6022
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
6023
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
6024
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
6028
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
6029
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
6034
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
6035
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
6036
in running it. (Robert Collins)
6038
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
6039
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
6041
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
6042
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
6043
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
6044
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
6045
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
6046
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
6047
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
6048
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
6050
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
6051
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
6052
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
6054
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
6055
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
6056
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
6057
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
6058
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
6060
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
6062
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
6063
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
6064
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
6066
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
6067
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
6076
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
6079
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
6080
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
6083
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
6084
#######################
6089
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
6090
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
6096
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
6097
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
6098
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
6099
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
6100
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
6101
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
6102
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
6103
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
6109
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
6110
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
6111
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
6113
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
6114
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
6117
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
6118
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
6119
(John Arbash Meinel)
6121
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
6122
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
6123
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
6124
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
6125
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
6130
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
6133
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
6134
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
6136
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
6137
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
6139
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
6140
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
6141
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
6143
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
6144
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
6146
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
6147
last-changed-revision for directories. The
6148
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
6149
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
6150
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
6152
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
6153
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
6154
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
6156
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

6162
Notes When Upgrading
6163
********************
6165
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
6166
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
6167
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
6172
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
6173
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
6175
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
6176
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
6178
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
6180
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
6181
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
6183
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
6184
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
6189
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
6195
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
6196
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
6197
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
6198
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
6200
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
6201
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
6203
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
6204
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
6206
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
6209
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
6210
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
6213
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
6214
#######################
6219
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
6220
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
6221
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
6222
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
6223
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
6224
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
6226
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
6227
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
6228
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
6229
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
6230
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
6231
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
6233
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
6235
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
6236
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
6237
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
6238
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
6239
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
6240
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
6241
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
6242
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
6247
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
6248
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
6250
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
6251
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
6252
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
6253
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
6255
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
6256
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
6257
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
6258
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
6259
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
6261
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
6264
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
6267
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
6270
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
6271
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
6274
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
6277
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
6278
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
6280
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
6281
directory. (Martin Pool)
6283
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
6284
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
6285
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
6286
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
6288
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
6289
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
6290
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
6291
in docs/configuration.txt.
6293
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
6294
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
6297
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
6298
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
6299
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
6300
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
6301
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
6302
repositories. (Martin Pool)
6304
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
6305
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
6307
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
6308
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
6310
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
6316
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
6317
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
6318
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
6319
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
6320
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
6321
(John Arbash Meinel)
6323
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
6324
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
6327
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
6328
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
6329
(John Arbash Meinel)
6331
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
6332
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
6333
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
6334
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
6335
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
6336
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
6338
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
6339
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
6340
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
6342
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
6343
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
6344
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
6345
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
6347
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6349
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
6350
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
6351
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
6352
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
6354
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
6355
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
6356
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
6357
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
6359
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
6360
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
6361
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
6363
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
6364
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
6365
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
6367
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
6368
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
6369
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
6370
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
6372
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
6373
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
6374
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
6376
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
6377
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
6378
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
6380
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
6381
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
6382
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
6383
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
6384
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
6385
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
6386
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
6387
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
6388
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
6396
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
6397
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
6399
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
6402
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
6403
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
6404
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.

* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
6471
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
6472
server, then you can write over the http connection.
6473
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
6475
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
6478
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
6479
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
6480
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
6482
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
6483
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
6485
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
6488
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
6489
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
6490
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
6491
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
6492
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
6493
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
6495
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
6496
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
6497
should enable you to do::
6499
[/home/user/project]
6500
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
6501
push_location:policy = appendpath
6503
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
6504
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
6507
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
6508
for each file. For example::
6510
$ bzr status --short
6516
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
6517
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
6519
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
6521
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
6522
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
6524
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
6529
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
6530
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
6531
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
6532
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
6534
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
6535
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
6536
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
6538
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
6540
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
6541
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
6542
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
6543
(Alexander Belchenko)
6545
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
6548
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
6549
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
6551
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
6556
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
6557
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
6559
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
6560
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
6561
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
6562
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
6563
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
6565
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
6566
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
6568
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
6569
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
6571
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
6573
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
6575
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
6576
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
6577
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
6578
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
6579
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
6581
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
6582
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
6583
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
6584
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
6586
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
6587
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
6589
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
6590
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
6592
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.

* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working

6615
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
6616
operations are substantially faster.
6617
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
6619
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
6620
tree from some other url. For example:
6621
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
6622
(Daniel Silverstone)
6624
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
6625
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
6626
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
6627
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
6629
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
6632
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
6633
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
6634
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
6635
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
6636
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
6637
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
6642
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
6643
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
6646
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
6647
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
6648
(John Arbash Meinel)
6650
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
6651
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
6652
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
6653
(John Arbash Meinel)
6655
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
6656
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
6658
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
6659
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
6661
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
6662
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
6668
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
6669
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
6670
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
6672
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
6673
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
6674
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
6675
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
6677
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
6679
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
6680
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
6682
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
6683
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
6684
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
6685
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
6687
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
6688
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
6689
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
6691
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
6692
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
6693
them as full references rather than integers.
6694
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
6696
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
6697
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
6699
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
6701
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.

6704
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
6705
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
6707
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
6708
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
6709
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
6710
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
6712
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
6713
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
6714
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
6716
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
6717
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
6719
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
6720
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
6721
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
6722
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.

6747
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
6748
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
6749
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
6750
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
6752
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
6753
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
6755
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
6757
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
6758
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
6759
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
6760
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
6762
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
6763
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
6764
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
6765
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
6766
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
6771
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
6772
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
6777
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
6778
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
6779
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
6781
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
6782
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
6783
(John Arbash Meinel)
6785
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
6786
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
6787
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
6789
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
6790
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
6793
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
6794
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
6795
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6797
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
6798
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
6799
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
6800
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
6801
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
6802
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6804
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
6805
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
6806
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
6809
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
6810
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
6815
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
6816
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
6817
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
6820
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
6821
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
6823
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
6824
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
6825
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
6827
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
6828
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
6830
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
6831
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
6832
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
6833
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
6835
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
6836
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
6838
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
6839
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
6840
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
6842
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
6843
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
6845
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
6847
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
6848
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
6854
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
6855
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
6856
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
6857
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)

* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
6886
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
6887
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
6888
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
6889
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
6890
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
6891
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)

* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
6894
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
6895
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
6897
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
6899
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
6900
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
6902
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
6903
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
6904
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
6907
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
6908

6909
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.

which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
6918
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary

* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
6956
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
6958
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
6959
(John Arbash Meinel)
6961
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
6962
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
6963
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
6965
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
6966
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
6968
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
6969
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
6970
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
6971
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
6973
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
6974
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
6975
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
6977
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
6978
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
6983
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
6988
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
6989
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
6990
(John Arbash Meinel)
6992
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
6993
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
6994
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
6995
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
6997
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
7000
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
7001
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
7002
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
7004
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
7005
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
7007
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
7008
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
7009
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
7011
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
7012
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
7013
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
7014
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
7015
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
7016
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
7017
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
7018
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
7019
caller to repeat their request.
7020
(John Arbash Meinel)
7022
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
7023
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
7025
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
7026
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
7028
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
7029
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
7030
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
7031
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
7032
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
7033
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
7034
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
7036
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
7037
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
7038
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
7039
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
7040
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
7041
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
7042
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
7043
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
7046
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
7047
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
7048
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
7050
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
7051
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
7053
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
7054
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
7056
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
7057
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
7062
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
7063
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
7065
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
7066
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
7067
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
7069
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
7070
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
7071
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
7074
####################
7078
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
7079
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
7081
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
7082
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
7083
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
7084
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
7085
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
7087
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
7088
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
7089
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
7091
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
7092
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
7094
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
7095
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
7096
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
7101
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
7103
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
7104
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
7105
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
7107
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
7109
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
7111
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
7112
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
7113
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
7114
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
7116
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
7117
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
7118
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
7119
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
7120
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
7122
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
7123
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
7125
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
7126
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
7128
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
7129
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
7131
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
7132
in handling of revision properties.
7133
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
7135
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
7136
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
7141
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
7142
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
7143
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
7144
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
7145
(John Arbash Meinel)
7147
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
7148
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
7149
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
7151
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11

#####################
7157
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
7158
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
7159
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
7160
specific one '.bzrignore'.
7161
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
7162
a more conservative list than the old default.
7163
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
7164
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
7165
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
7166
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
7168
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
7169
to more locations than just branch locations.
7175
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
7176
revno:N:branch. For example,
7177
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
7178
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
7180
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
7181
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
7182
the path of a file that has been versioned.
7183
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
7184
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
7185
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
7186
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
7187
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
7190
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
7191
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
7192
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
7195
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
7196
(Alexander Belchenko)
7198
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
7200
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
7203
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
7204
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
7205
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
7206
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
7207
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
7208
(John Arbash Meinel)
7210
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
7211
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
7212
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
7213
grained analysis of performance.
7214
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
7216
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
7217
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
7219
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
7220
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
7221
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
7222
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
7223
file. (Robert Collins).
7225
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
7226
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
7227
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
7229
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
7230
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
7233
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
7234
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
7236
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
7237
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
7238
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
7239
the same way you would apply another branch.
7240
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
7242
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
7243
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
7245
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
7248
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
7251
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
7252
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
7253
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
7255
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
7256
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
7257
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
7259
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
7260
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
7262
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
7263
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
7264
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
7265
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
7266
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
7268
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
7269
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
7271
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
7272
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
7273
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
7274
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
7275
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
7276
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
7277
branch is as much as 4x faster.
7278
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
7280
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
7281
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
7282
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
7287
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
7289
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
7291
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
7292
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
7294
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
7295
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
7297
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
7298
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
7300
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
7302
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
7303
(John Arbash Meinel)
7305
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
7306
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
7308
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
7309
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
7312
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
7313
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
7315
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
7316
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
7318
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
7319
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
7320
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
7321
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
7323
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
7324
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
7326
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
7328
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
7329
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
7331
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
7333

7335
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
7336
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
7338
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
7339
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
7341
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
7342
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
7343
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
7345
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
7346
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
7347
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
7349
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
7350
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
7352
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
7353
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
7355
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
7356
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
7358
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
7359
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
7361
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
7362
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
7364
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
7365
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
7366
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
7368
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
7370
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
7371
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
7376
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
7377
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
7378
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
7380
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
7381
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
7383
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
7384
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
7385
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
7387
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
7388
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
7390
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
7391
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
7394
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
7395
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
7396
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
7398
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
7399
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
7400
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
7402
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
7403
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
7404
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
7406
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
7407
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
7408
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
7410
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
7411
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
7412
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
7414
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
7415
instead. (Robert Collins)

7472
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
7473
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
7478
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
7479
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
7484
Notes When Upgrading
7485
********************
7487
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
7488
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
7489
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
7490
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
7491
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
7492
will keep the same format.
7494
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
7495
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
7496
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
7497
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
7498
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
7500
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
7501
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
7502
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
7503
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
7504
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
7505
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
7506
indicating the current revision of the branch.
7508
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
7509
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
7510
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
7511
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
7512
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
7514
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
7515
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
7516
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
7523
* sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
7524
convention. Paths now take the form::
7526
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
7528
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
7530
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
7531
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
7533
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
7534
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
7535
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
7537
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
7538
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
7539
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
7540
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
7542
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
7543
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
7544
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
7546
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
7548
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
7550
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
7551
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
7554
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
7555
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
7558
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
7560
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
7561
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
7562
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
7565
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
7567
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
7569
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
7572
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
7573
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
7575
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
7576
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
7579
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
7580
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
7583
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
7585
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
7587
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
7588
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
7590
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
7591
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
7592
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
7593
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
7594
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
7595
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
7597
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
7599
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
7600
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
7603
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
7604
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
7606
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
7607
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
7609
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
7611
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
7612
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
7613
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
7614
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
7615
specification by Martin Pool.
7616
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
7618
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
7621
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
7622
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
7624
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
7625
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
7626
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
7628
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
7630
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
7631
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
7637
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
7638
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
7640
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
7642
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
7644
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
7647
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
7648
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
7649
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
7650
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
7655
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
7656
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
7657
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
7658
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
7660
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
7661
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
7662
tried. (Martin Pool)
7664
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
7667
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
7669
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
7670
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
7671
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
7673
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
7674
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
7676
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
7677
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
7678
paths. (Robert Collins)
7680
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
7681
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
7682
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
7684
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
7685
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
7686
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
7688
* Progress bars are now nested - see
7689
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
7690
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
7692
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
7695
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
7698
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
7700
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
7702
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
7703
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
7704
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
7707
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
7708
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
7710
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
7711
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
7712
check. (Robert Collins)
7714
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
7715
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
7720
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
7721
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
7723
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
7724
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
7725
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
7726
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
7728
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
7729
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
7730
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
7731
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
7732
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
7734
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
7735
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
7736
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
7738
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
7740
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
7741
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
7749
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
7750
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
7752
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
7753
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
7754
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
7757
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
7758
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
7760
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
7761
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
7762
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
7763
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
7764
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
7766
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
7767
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
7768
used. (Robert Collins)
7770
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
7771
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
7774
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
7775
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
7776
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
7778
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
7781
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
7782
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
7787
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
7788
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
7790
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
7792
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
7794
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
7795
tree. (Robert Collins)
7797
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
7798
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
7799
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
7802
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
7805
* Tweaks to short log printing
7807
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
7810
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
7811
occurs. (Martin Pool)
7813
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
7814
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
7816
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
7817
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
7819
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
7820
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
7821
settings. (Magnus Therning)
7823
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
7824
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
7826
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
7827
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
7830
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
7831
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
7833
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
7834
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
7836
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
7837
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
7839
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
7842
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
7843
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
7845
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
7846
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
7848
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
7849
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
7850
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
7855
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
7857
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
7859
* Error when run with -OO
7861
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
7864
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
7866
* Change status to 3 for all errors
7868
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
7869
ignored by diff and status
7871
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
7872
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
7874
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
7876
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
7878
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
7879
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
7881
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
7882
email address. (Marien Zwart)
7884
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
7887
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
7888
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
7890
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
7892
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
7893
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
7895
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
7898
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
7899
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
7901
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
7906
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
7907
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
7909
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
7911
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
7913
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
7915
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
7916
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
7917
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
7919
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
7921
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
7922
(John Arbash Meinel)
7924
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
7926
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
7927
If adding a new test script please add that to
7928
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
7930
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
7931
imported. (Martin Pool)
7933
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
7934
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
7935
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
7936
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
7937
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
7940
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
7941
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
7942
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
7944
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
7945
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
7946
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
7948
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
7949
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
7950
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
7951
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
7952
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
7955
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
7956
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
7962
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
7963
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
7965
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
7966
function. (Robert Collins)
7968
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
7969
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
7970
if needed). (Robert Collins)
7972
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
7973
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
7976
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
7977
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
7978
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
7979
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
7980
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
7981
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
7982
version. (Robert Collins)
7984
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
7985
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
7987
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
7988
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
7989
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
7990
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
7991
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
7992
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
7994
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
7997
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
8007
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
8009
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
8011
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
8014
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
8015
query method. (Robert Collins)
8017
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
8020
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
8023
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
8026
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
8027
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
8028
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
8029
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
8031
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
8032
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
8033
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
8034
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
8036
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
8037
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
8045
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
8048
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
8052
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
8053
a separator, not ':'.
8056
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
8057
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
8058
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
8060
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
8061
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
8064
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
8065
has been added that suppresses all output.
8067
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
8070
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
8071
Goffredo Baroncelli.
8073
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
8074
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
8076
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
8077
a revision. (Robert Collins)
8079
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
8080
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
8081
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
8082
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
8084
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
8086
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
8087
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
8089
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
8090
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
8092
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
8093
output directory, if one was supplied.
8095
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
8096
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
8097
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
8098
parameters. (Robert Collins)
8100
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
8102
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
8103
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
8105
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
8106
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
8107
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
8109
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
8110
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
8112
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
8115
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
8117
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
8122
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
8123
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
8124
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
8126
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
8127
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
8128
related questions. (Robert Collins)
8130
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
8131
is given. (Martin Pool)
8133
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
8134
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
8135
file. (Robert Collins)
8137
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
8143
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
8144
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
8145
representation. (Martin Pool).
8147
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
8148
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
8149
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
8151
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
8154
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
8155
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
8158
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
8159
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
8160
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
8161
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
8162
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
8164
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
8165
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
8166
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
8167
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
8168
python path. (Robert Collins)
8170
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
8171
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
8172
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
8173
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
8175
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
8176
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
8178
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
8179
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
8182
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
8183
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
8184
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
8186
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
8187
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
8188
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
8190
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
8191
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
8193
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
8194
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
8195
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
8198
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
8199
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
8200
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
8201
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
8204
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
8207
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
8208
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
8211
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
8212
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
8213
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
8215
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
8216
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
8217
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
8219
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
8220
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
8221
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
8223
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
8224
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
8226
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
8227
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
8228
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
8229
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
8230
caller. (Robert Collins)
8232
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
8233
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
8236
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
8237
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
8240
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
8242
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
8243
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
8248
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
8249
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
8251
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
8252
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

####################
8261
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
8262
allow directories to be listed.
8264
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
8265
upgrading branch format.
8270
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
8279
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
8280
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
8281
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
8282
high-latency connections.
8287
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
8290
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
8291
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
8293
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
8294
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
8295
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
8296
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
8298
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
8299
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
8301
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
8302
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
8304
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
8305
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
8306
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
8308
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
8309
for files with only a change to their executable status.
8310
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
8313
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
8314
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
8316
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
8317
different partial views of history.
8319
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
8320
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
8325
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
8326
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
8327
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
8329
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
8330
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
8333
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
8334
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
8336
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
8339
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
8340
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
8342
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
8343
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
8344
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
8345
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
8347
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
8349
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
8350
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
8353
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
8354
Contributed by Robert Collins.
8356
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
8357
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
8358
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
8364
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
8365
for your viewing pleasure.
8367
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
8368
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
8370
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
8371
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
8372
handling of such circumstances.
8374
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
8375
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
8376
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
8378
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
8380
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
8381
we call them revisions not patches.
8383
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
8384
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
8386
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
8387
giving the revision *of that file*.
8389
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
8390
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
8391
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
8396
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
8397
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
8399
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
8400
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``

8416
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
8418
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
8419
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
8424
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
8425
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
8427
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
8428
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
8429
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
8430
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by

* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
8434
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.

####################
8451
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
8452
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
8453
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
8454
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
8457
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
8460
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
8461
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
8462
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
8463
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
8464
for the operating system is still tried.
8466
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
8467
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
8468
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
8474
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
8479
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.

help with intelligent shell completion.
8505

8511
* Much better merge support.
8513
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
8514
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things

* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
8537
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need

8557
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
8558
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.

8562
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
8563
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
8565
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
8568

8570
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
8573
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
8574
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
8576
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
8577
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
8578
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
8584
* Faster working tree operations.
8590
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
8591
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
8592
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
8593
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
8595
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
8596
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
8597
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
8598
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
8599
standard plugins directory.
8601
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
8602
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
8603
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
8604
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
8606
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
8607
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
8609
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
8612
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
8613
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
8614
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
8616
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
8617
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
8619
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
8620
line options must come before the command name because they
8621
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
8622
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
8625
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
8627
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one

#####################
8643
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
8644
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
8646
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
8647
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
8648
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
8649
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
8651
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
8652
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
8653
with the ``--forward`` option.
8655
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
8656
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
8663
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
8664
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
8666
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
8668
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
8669
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
8671
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
8673
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
8674
either read or write mode.
8676
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
8678
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that

8683
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
8684
suggested by LarstiQ.
8686
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
8687
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.

* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
8693
in a directory on $BZRPATH.

8696
haven't changed since the previous time.
8698
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
8699
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
8701
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
8703

* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
8706
range; contributed by John A Meinel.

8709
options through to an external GNU diff.

8722
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
8724
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
8731
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
8732
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to

* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
8736
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
8738
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
8739
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
8741
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
8742
under a different version.
8744
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
8750
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.

* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
8753
Scott James Remnant.
8755
* Better help messages for many commands.
8757
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
8758
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
8760
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
