.. 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
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
100
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
102
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server
103
now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
106
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
107
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
108
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
110
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
111
to "Ignoring files outside view. View is .." to reduce confusion
112
about what was being considered and what was being ignored.
115
* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
116
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
117
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
118
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
120
* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!
126
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
127
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
128
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
129
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
131
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log
132
-m``. (Anne Mohsen, Martin Pool)
134
* ``bzr version-info`` now works in empty branches. (Jelmer Vernooij,
137
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
138
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
139
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
141
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
142
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
144
* Fixed "Specified file 'x/y/z' is outside current view: " occurring
145
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
146
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
148
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
149
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
150
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
151
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
153
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
155
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
156
(Vincent Ladeuil, #346593)
158
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
159
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
160
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
161
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
162
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
164
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
165
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
168
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
169
(James Westby, #341558)
171
* The help for the ``info`` command has been corrected.
172
(Ian Clatworthy, #351931)
174
* Upgrade will now use a sensible default format if the source repository
175
uses rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #252908)
180
* Expanded the index of the developer documentation. (Eric Siegerman)
182
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
184
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.
185
(James Westby, #336998)
190
* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous versions of bzr are now removed.
193
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
194
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
197
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
198
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
199
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
201
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
202
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
203
Meinel, Robert Collins)
205
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
206
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
207
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
208
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
211
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
212
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
215
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
218
* The ``Serializer`` class and the serializer ``format registry`` have moved
219
from ``bzrlib.xml_serializer`` to ``bzrlib.serializer``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
221
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
222
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
223
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
224
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
226
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
227
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
228
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
233
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
234
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
235
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
236
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
237
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
239
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
240
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
242
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
243
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
244
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
245
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
251
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
252
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
253
streaming on the the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
255
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
256
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
257
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
258
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
260
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
261
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
262
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
263
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
265
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
266
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
267
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
269
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
270
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
271
dependency. (Robert Collins)
273
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
274
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
275
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
277
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
278
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
281
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
282
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
283
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
285
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
286
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
288
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
289
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
290
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
292
* New hook ``RioVersionInfoBuilder.revision``, allowing extra entries
293
to be added to the stanza that is printed for a particular revision.
296
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
297
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
298
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
300
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
301
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
302
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
303
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
304
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
306
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
307
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
308
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
309
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
311
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
312
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
313
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
314
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
316
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
317
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
318
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
320
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
321
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
324
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
325
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
326
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
328
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
329
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
330
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
331
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
332
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
334
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
335
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only linux
336
machine work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,
339
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
340
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
341
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
342
desired. (Robert Collins)
344
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include
345
information about ghosts when the special revision ``include-missing:``
346
is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
347
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
349
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
350
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
351
regardless of ``InterRepository``.
352
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
357
:Codename: paraskavedekatriaphobia
362
GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``. Debug
363
flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``. Lightweight checkouts and
364
stacked branches should both be much faster over remote connections.
366
Changes From 1.13 to 1.13.1
367
***************************
368
A couple regessions where found in the 1.13 release. The pyrex-generated C
369
extensions are missing from the .tar.gz and .zip files. Documentation on how
370
to generate GNU ChangeLogs is wrong.
375
* Change ``./bzr``'s ``_script_version`` to match ./bzrlib/__init__.py
376
version_info. (Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, #345232)
378
* Distribution archives for 1.13 do not contain generated C extension modules
379
(Jean-Francois Roy, Bob Tanner, #344465)
381
* GNU ChangeLog output can now be produced by bzr log --format gnu-changelog is
382
incorrect (Deejay, Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #343928)
384
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
386
Changes From RC1 to Final
387
*************************
389
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
390
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
391
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
393
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
394
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
399
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
400
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
401
command may need to be adjusted.
402
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
407
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
408
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
409
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
411
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
414
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
415
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
416
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
419
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
420
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
422
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
425
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
426
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
428
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernoij)
430
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
431
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
434
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
440
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
441
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
442
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
443
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
444
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
445
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
446
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
447
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
450
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
451
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
453
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
454
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
455
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
457
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
458
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
460
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
461
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
462
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
465
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
466
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
467
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
469
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
470
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
471
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
472
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
474
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
477
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
478
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
480
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
481
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
483
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
484
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
485
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
487
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
492
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
493
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
495
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
496
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
497
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
499
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
500
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
501
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
503
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
504
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
506
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
507
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
510
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
511
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
512
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
514
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
515
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
517
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
518
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
520
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
521
(James Westby, #174539)
523
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
524
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
526
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
527
error branching from old repositories.
528
(Martin Pool, #321695)
530
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
531
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
533
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
534
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
535
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
536
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
538
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
539
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko)
541
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
542
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
544
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
545
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
547
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
548
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
549
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
551
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
552
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
554
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.
555
(Benoît Pierre, Aaron Bentley)
560
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
561
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
562
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
565
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
566
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
568
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.
569
(Daniel Watkins, #327421, #327425)
574
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
575
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
576
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
577
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
578
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
580
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
581
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
583
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
584
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
585
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
586
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
587
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
588
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
590
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
591
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
593
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
594
"author" argument being deprecated.
596
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
598
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
599
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
600
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
601
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
603
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
604
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
605
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
607
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
608
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
609
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
611
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
612
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
614
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
615
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
616
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
617
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
622
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
623
free of virtual file system methods.
624
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
626
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
627
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
628
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
630
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
631
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
632
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
633
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
634
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
635
(Robert Collins, #334187)
637
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
639
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
640
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
642
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
643
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
644
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
645
stream the operation.
646
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
648
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
649
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
651
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
652
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
653
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
654
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
655
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
657
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
658
branch object. (Robert Collins)
660
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
661
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
662
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
664
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
665
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
668
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
671
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
672
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
673
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
675
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
676
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
677
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
679
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
680
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
681
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
683
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
684
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
685
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
687
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
688
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
689
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
690
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
691
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
693
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
694
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
695
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
696
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
697
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
698
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
700
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
701
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
702
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
703
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
704
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
706
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
707
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
709
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
710
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
712
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
713
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
714
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
715
to access private data in record to obtain content more
716
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
718
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
719
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.
726
:Codename: 1234567890
730
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
731
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
732
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
733
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
734
by showing the rate of network IO.
736
Changes from RC1 to Final
737
*************************
739
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
740
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
742
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
743
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
748
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
749
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
750
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
751
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
753
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
754
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
755
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
758
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
759
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
760
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
761
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
763
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
764
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
765
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
768
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
773
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
774
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
775
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
778
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
779
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
780
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
782
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
783
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
784
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
785
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
786
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
787
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
788
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
789
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
790
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
796
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
799
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
802
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
803
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
804
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
806
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
807
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
808
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
809
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
810
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
812
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
813
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
815
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
816
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
817
level for better precision.
820
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
821
rules. (Marius Kruger)
823
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
824
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
825
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
827
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
828
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
829
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
832
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
833
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
834
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
839
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
841
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
843
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
844
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
845
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
847
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
848
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
849
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
850
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
851
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
852
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
854
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
855
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
857
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
858
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
860
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
861
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
862
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
864
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
865
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
866
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
869
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
870
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
872
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
873
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
874
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
875
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
877
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
878
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
880
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
882
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)
887
* Improved plugin developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
892
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
893
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
896
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
897
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
899
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
900
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
902
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
903
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
905
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
906
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
907
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
908
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
910
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
911
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
912
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
917
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
918
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
919
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
920
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
921
compile buffers, are such an example).
924
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
925
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
928
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
929
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
930
efficient way of doing the mapping.
933
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
934
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
936
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
937
formatters to retrict the output.
941
bzr 1.11 "Eyes up!" 2009-01-19
942
##############################
944
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
945
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
946
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
947
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
948
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
950
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
951
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
954
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
955
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.
960
* Fix failing test when CompiledChunksToLines is not available.
963
* Stacked branches don't repeatedly open their transport connection.
968
bzr 1.11rc1 "Eyes up!" 2009-01-09
969
#################################
974
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
975
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
980
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
981
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
983
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
984
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
985
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
986
implement other plugins.
989
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
995
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
996
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
998
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
999
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
1001
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
1002
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
1003
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
1004
processes which drag in shell extensions.
1007
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
1008
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
1009
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
1010
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
1011
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
1013
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
1014
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
1015
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
1016
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
1017
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
1022
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
1023
control directory. (#139691)
1025
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
1026
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
1028
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
1029
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
1031
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
1032
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
1033
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
1035
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
1036
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
1038
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
1039
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
1040
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
1042
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
1043
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
1045
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
1048
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
1049
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
1050
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
1052
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
1053
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
1055
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
1056
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
1057
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
1059
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
1060
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
1061
in the appropriate sections.
1062
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
1064
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
1065
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
1066
(John Arbash meinel)
1068
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
1069
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
1071
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
1072
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
1074
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
1075
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1077
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
1078
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
1079
work better with how it splits its requests.
1080
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
1082
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
1083
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
1084
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
1086
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
1089
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
1091
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
1092
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
1094
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
1100
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
1101
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
1102
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
1108
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
1109
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
1110
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
1111
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1113
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
1114
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
1116
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
1117
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
1118
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
1119
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
1121
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
1122
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
1123
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
1124
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
1129
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
1130
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
1131
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
1133
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
1134
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
1135
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
1136
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
1138
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
1139
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
1140
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
1146
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
1147
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
1148
(John Arbash Meinel)
1150
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
1151
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
1152
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
1153
(John Arbash Meinel)
1155
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
1156
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
1157
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
1158
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
1160
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
1161
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
1162
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
1164
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
1165
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
1166
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
1167
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
1169
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
1170
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
1171
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
1172
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
1173
(John Arbash Meinel)
1175
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
1176
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
1178
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
1179
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
1180
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
1182
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
1183
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
1184
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
1185
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
1187
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
1188
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
1189
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
1190
(John Arbash Meinel)
1192
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
1193
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
1194
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
1195
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
1196
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
1197
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
1198
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1200
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
1201
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)
1208
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
1209
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
1210
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
1211
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
1214
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
1219
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
1220
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
1221
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
1222
(Martin Pool, #303856)
1224
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
1225
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
1226
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
1227
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
1228
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)

######################
1234
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
1235
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
1236
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
1237
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
1238
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
1243
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
1244
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1246
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
1252
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
1253
history just to set the last revision info.
1254
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1256
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
1257
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
1258
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
1259
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1261
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
1262
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
1263
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
1264
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
1265
(John Arbash Meinel)
1267
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
1268
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1270
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
1271
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
1272
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
1273
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
1274
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
1276
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
1277
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
1278
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
1279
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
1284
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
1285
(Martin Pool, #289148)
1287
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
1288
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
1290
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
1291
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
1292
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
1293
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
1295
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
1296
starting with a dotted revno.
1297
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
1299
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
1300
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
1301
(Martin Pool, #288751)
1303
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
1304
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
1305
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
1307
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
1308
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
1309
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
1311
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
1312
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
1313
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
1314
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
1316
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
1317
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
1318
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
1320
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
1321
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
1326
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
1327
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
1328
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
1329
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
1331
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
1332
have changed incompatibly.
1334
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
1335
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
1336
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
1337
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
1338
don't need to change.
1340
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
1341
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
1346
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
1347
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
1349
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
1355
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
1356
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
1357
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
1358
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
1359
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
1360
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
1365
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
1366
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
1368
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
1370
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
1371
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.

#####################
1381
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
1382
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
1384
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
1385
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
1386
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
1387
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
1392
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
1393
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
1394
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
1395
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
1396
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
1397
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
1399
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
1400
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1402
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
1403
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
1404
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
1406
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
1407
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
1408
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
1411
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
1412
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
1414
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
1415
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
1417
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
1418
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
1420
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
1421
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
1422
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
1423
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
1424
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
1425
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
1426
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
1427
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
1428
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
1429
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
1434
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
1435
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
1437
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
1438
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
1440
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
1441
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
1442
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
1444
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
1445
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
1446
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
1448
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
1449
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
1450
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
1452
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
1453
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
1454
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
1455
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
1456
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
1457
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
1459
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
1460
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
1462
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
1463
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
1465
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
1466
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
1467
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
1468
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
1469
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
1471
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
1472
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
1473
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
1474
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
1479
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
1484
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
1489
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
1490
configuration of authetication credentials.
1496
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
1497
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
1498
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
1499
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
1500
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
1505
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
1506
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
1511
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
1512
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
1515
bzr 1.8rc1 2008-10-07
1516
#####################
1521
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
1522
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
1523
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
1524
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
1525
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
1527
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
1528
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
1530
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
1531
server. (Marius Kruger)
1533
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
1534
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
1535
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
1536
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
1537
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
1538
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
1543
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
1544
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
1545
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
1547
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
1552
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
1553
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
1554
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
1555
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
1557
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
1558
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
1561
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
1562
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
1565
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
1568
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
1570
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
1571
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
1573
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
1574
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
1576
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
1577
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
1578
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
1579
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
1580
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
1581
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
1582
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
1583
operations. (Robert Collins)
1585
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
1587
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
1588
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
1589
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
1594
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
1595
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
1596
(Martin Pool, #279381)
1598
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
1599
repository now preserves the repository format.
1600
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
1602
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
1603
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
1605
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
1606
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
1608
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
1610
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
1612
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
1615
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
1616
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
1617
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
1619
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
1620
is in a different repository than the current one.
1621
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
1623
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
1624
(David Futcher, #242106)
1626
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
1627
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1629
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
1630
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
1631
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
1632
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
1634
* Trivial documentation fix.
1635
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
1637
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
1638
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
1639
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
1640
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
1645
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
1650
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
1651
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
1652
to use. (Robert Collins)
1654
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
1655
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
1656
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
1658
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
1659
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
1660
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
1661
they want. (Robert Collins)
1666
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
1667
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
1668
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
1670
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
1671
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
1674
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
1677
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
1678
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
1680
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
1686
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
1687
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
1689
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
1690
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
1691
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
1693
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
1694
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
1695
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
1697
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
1698
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1700
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
1701
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
1703
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
1704
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
1706
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
1707
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
1708
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
1709
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept

This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
1724
file paths when we encounter complex history.
1729
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
1730
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
1731
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
1732
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.

This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
1740
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
1741
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
1742
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
1743
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
1760
connect to the stacked-on location.
1765
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
1766
repository now preserves the repository format.
1767
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
1769
* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect
1770
to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
1772
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
1775
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.

1780
#####################
1782
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
1783
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
1784
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
1785
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
1786
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
1787
it in a future repository format.
1793
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
1796
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
1797
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
1798
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
1800
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
1801
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
1802
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
1807
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
1808
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
1810
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
1815
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
1816
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
1819
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
1820
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
1822
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
1823
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
1826
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
1827
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
1828
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
1829
(John Arbash Meinel)
1831
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
1832
(Martin Pool, #261315)
1834
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
1835
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
1836
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
1837
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
1838
(John Arbash Meinel)
1840
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
1841
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
1842
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
1843
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
1844
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
1845
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
1846
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
1847
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
1848
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
1849
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1854
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
1855
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
1857
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
1858
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
1859
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
1861
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
1862
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
1863
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
1865
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
1866
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
1867
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
1868
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
1869
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
1870
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
1872
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
1873
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
1875
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
1876
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
1878
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
1879
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
1880
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
1881
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
1882
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
1883
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
1885
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
1886
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
1888
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
1889
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
1891
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
1892
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
1893
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
1894
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
1896
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
1897
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
1899
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
1900
assuming the host name is ascii.
1901
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
1903
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
1904
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
1909
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
1914
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
1916
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
1917
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
1918
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
1921
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
1922
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1924
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
1925
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
1927
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
1928
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
1933
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
1934
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
1935
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
1936
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
1938
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
1942
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
1943
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
1944
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1946
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
1952
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
1953
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
1956
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
1957
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
1958
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
1959
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
1960
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1962
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
1963
is unknown in both source and target.
1964
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
1966
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
1967
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
1968
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
1969
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1971
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
1972
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
1973
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
1974
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

####################
1980
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
1981
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
1982
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
1985
bzr 1.6.1rc2 2008-09-03
1986
#######################
1991
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
1992
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
1993
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
1994
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
1997
bzr 1.6.1rc1 2008-08-29
1998
#######################
2000
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
2001
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
2002
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
2003
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
2004
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
2005
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
2006
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
2007
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
2008
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
2009
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
2010
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
2011
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
2016
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
2017
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
2018
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
2019
start of the string (causing more copies).
2020
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
2021
especially for projects with large files.
2022
(John Arbash Meinel)
2024
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
2025
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
2026
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
2027
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
2028
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
2030
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
2031
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
2032
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
2033
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
2034
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.
2035
(John Arbash Meinel, #262333)
2041
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
2042
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
2043
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
2044
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
2045
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
2046
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
2047
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
2048
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
2049
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
2052
bzr 1.6rc5 2008-08-19
2053
#####################
2058
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
2059
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
2060
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
2061
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
2062
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
2065
bzr 1.6rc4 2008-08-18
2066
#####################
2071
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
2072
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
2073
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
2076
bzr 1.6rc3 2008-08-14
2077
#####################
2082
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
2083
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
2089
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
2090
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
2091
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
2097
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
2098
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
2099
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
2101
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
2102
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
2103
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
2104
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
2105
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
2106
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
2107
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
2110
bzr 1.6rc2 2008-08-13
2111
#####################
2113
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
2119
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
2120
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
2122
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
2123
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
2126
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
2127
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
2128
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
2129
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
2130
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
2132
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
2133
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2135
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
2136
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
2138
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
2139
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
2141
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
2142
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
2143
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
2144
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
2145
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
2146
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
2149
bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
2150
#####################
2152
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
2153
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
2154
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
2155
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
2156
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
2161
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
2162
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
2163
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
2168
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
2169
check. (Daniel Watkins)
2171
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
2172
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
2174
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
2175
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
2176
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2178
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
2181
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
2182
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
2183
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
2184
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
2185
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
2186
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
2187
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2189
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
2190
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
2191
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
2196
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
2197
physical repository boundaries.
2198
(Martin Pool, #252428)
2200
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
2201
(Martin Pool, #206258)
2203
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
2204
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
2207
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
2210
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
2211
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
2212
that Python is running from.
2213
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
2215
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
2216
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
2217
(Robert Collins, #150438)
2219
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
2220
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
2222
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
2223
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
2224
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
2226
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
2227
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
2229
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
2230
(James Westby, #248448)
2235
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
2236
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
2237
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
2240
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
2241
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
2244
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
2245
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
2246
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
2247
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
2248
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
2249
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
2252
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
2253
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2255
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
2256
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
2257
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
2258
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
2259
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
2260
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
2265
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
2266
putting together a real history without having to create a full
2267
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
2268
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
2269
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
2270
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2272
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
2273
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
2274
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
2276
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
2279
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
2280
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
2282
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.

#######################
2289
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
2290
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
2291
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
2292
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
2298
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
2299
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
2300
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
2302
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
2303
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
2304
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
2305
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
2306
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
2309
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
2311
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
2312
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
2313
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
2319
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
2320
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
2323
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
2324
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
2325
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
2326
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
2328
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
2329
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
2330
(Christophe Troestler)
2332
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
2333
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
2335
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
2336
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
2337
faster. The new request method name is
2338
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2343
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
2344
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
2345
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
2346
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
2347
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
2349
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
2350
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
2352
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
2353
requires a branch to be present.
2354
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
2356
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
2358
(Martin Pool, #205230)
2360
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
2361
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
2362
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
2363
(Martin Pool, #240161)
2365
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
2366
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
2368
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
2370
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
2372
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
2373
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
2374
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
2375
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
2376
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
2378
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
2379
(Martin Pool, #172870)
2381
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
2382
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
2384
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
2386
(Matt McClure, #209281)
2388
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
2389
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
2391
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
2392
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
2397
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
2400
* Updated developer documentation.
2406
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
2407
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
2409
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
2410
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
2411
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
2412
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
2417
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
2418
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
2419
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
2420
Repository docstring for more details.
2423
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
2424
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
2425
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
2427
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
2428
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
2431
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
2432
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
2433
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
2434
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
2439
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
2440
(Alexander Belchenko)
2442
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
2443
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
2444
containing a given location.
2447
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
2448
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
2449
storage. (Robert Collins)
2451
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
2454
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
2455
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.

bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
2460
#######################
2462
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
2463
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
2464
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
2470
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
2471
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
2472
reading from the repository.)
2473
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
2475
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
2476
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
2478
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
2479
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
2482
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
2483
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
2484
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
2486
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
2487
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
2488
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
2490
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
2491
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
2493
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
2494
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
2495
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
2496
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
2501
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
2503
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
2504
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
2505
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
2508
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
2509
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
2514
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2519
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
2520
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
2525
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
2526
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
2527
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
2528
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
2529
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
2531
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
2532
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
2537
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
2538
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
2540
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
2541
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
2543
bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
2544
#######################
2547
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
2548
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
2549
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
2550
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
2551
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
2552
and future extensions.
2555
Notes When Upgrading
2556
********************
2558
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
2559
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
2560
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
2561
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
2562
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
2563
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
2564
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
2565
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
2570
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
2571
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
2572
(John Arbash Meinel)
2577
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
2578
load. (James Westby)
2583
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
2584
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
2585
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
2586
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2588
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
2589
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
2590
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
2592
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
2593
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
2595
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
2596
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
2597
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
2599
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
2600
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
2601
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
2602
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
2603
step closer to not using full revision history.
2604
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
2609
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
2610
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
2612
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
2613
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
2615
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
2616
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
2618
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
2619
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
2620
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
2621
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
2623
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
2624
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
2625
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
2626
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
2628
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
2629
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
2630
in use by another process.
2633
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
2634
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
2635
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
2636
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
2638
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
2639
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
2641
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
2642
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
2643
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
2645
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
2646
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
2647
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
2649
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
2651
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
2653
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
2654
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
2656
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
2657
under vim on Mac OS X.
2658
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2660
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
2661
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
2666
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
2667
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
2669
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
2670
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
2673
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
2674
and about use of Python reprs.
2675
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
2677
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
2682
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
2685
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
2686
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
2688
* New helper function for splitting test suites
2689
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
2694
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
2695
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
2696
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
2697
(John Arbash Meinel)
2702
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
2703
instead. (Martin Pool)
2705
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
2706
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
2707
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
2708
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
2710
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
2711
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
2712
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
2713
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
2714
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
2716
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
2717
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
2718
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
2719
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
2720
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
2721
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
2723
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
2724
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
2727
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
2728
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
2731
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
2732
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
2733
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
2734
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
2736
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
2737
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
2738
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
2740
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
2741
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
2742
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
2743
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
2744
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
2747
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
2748
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
2749
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
2750
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
2753
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
2754
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
2755
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
2756
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
2757
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
2759
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
2766
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
2767
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
2768
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
2773
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
2774
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
2775
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
2780
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
2781
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
2785

#####################
2791
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
2792
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
2793
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
2794
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
2799
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
2800
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
2802
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
2803
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
2805
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
2811
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
2812
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
2814
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
2815
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
2817
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
2818
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
2819
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
2821
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
2822
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
2823
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
2825
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
2828
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
2829
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
2831
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
2832
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
2834
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
2835
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
2837
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
2838
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
2840
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
2841
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
2842
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
2844
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
2845
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
2847
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
2848
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
2850
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
2851
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
2852
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
2853
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
2855
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
2856
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
2859
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
2860
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
2861
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
2863
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
2864
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
2865
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
2866
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
2867
every revision each side had in common.
2868
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2870
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
2871
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
2873
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
2874
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
2875
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
2876
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
2881
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
2882
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
2883
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
2884
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
2886
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
2888
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
2890
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
2891
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
2896
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
2897
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
2898
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
2900
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
2901
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
2902
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
2903
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
2905
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
2906
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2908
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
2909
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
2910
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
2911
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2913
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
2914
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
2915
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
2916
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2921
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
2922
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
2923
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
2925
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
2927
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
2928
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
2930
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
2931
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2933
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
2934
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
2939
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
2940
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
2941
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
2943
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
2944
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
2945
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
2948
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
2949
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
2952
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.
2959
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
2960
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
2961
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
2962
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
2963
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
2964
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
2965
and faster performance.
2970
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
2971
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
2972
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

2982
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
2983

2984
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
2986
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
2987
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
2989
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
2990
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
2992
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
2993
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
2994
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
2995
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
2996
every revision each side had in common.

#####################
3006
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
3008
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
3009
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
3011
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
3012
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
3013
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
3015
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
3016
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
3017
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
3018
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
3019
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
3020
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
3023
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
3024
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
3025
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
3026
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
3031
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
3033
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
3034
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
3035
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
3037
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
3038
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
3039
See the User Reference for signature details.
3040
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
3042
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
3043
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
3048
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
3049
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
3050
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
3051
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3053
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
3054
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
3056
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
3057
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
3058
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
3061
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
3064
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
3065
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
3066
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
3068
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
3071
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
3072
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
3074
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
3075
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
3077
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
3078
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
3079
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
3081
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
3082
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
3083
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
3084
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
3085
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
3087
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
3088
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
3090
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
3091
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
3096
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
3097
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
3098
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
3099
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
3100
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
3101
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
3103
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
3104
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
3106
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
3107
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
3108
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
3110
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
3111
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
3113
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
3114
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
3115
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
3116
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3118
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
3119
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
3120
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
3121
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
3122
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
3124
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
3126
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
3127
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
3129
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
3131
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
3132
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
3134
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
3135
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
3140
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
3142
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
3144
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
3146
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
3151
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
3152
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
3153
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
3155
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
3156
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
3157
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
3158
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
3160
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
3161
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
3162
release. (James Westby)
3164
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
3167
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
3169
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
3170
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
3172
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
3173
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
3175
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
3176
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
3178
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
3179
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
3180
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
3182
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
3183
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
3184
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
3185
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
3187
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
3188
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
3189
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
3190
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
3192
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
3193
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
3194
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
3195
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
3196
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
3197
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
3199
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
3200
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
3201
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
3203
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
3204
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
3206
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
3207
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
3210
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
3211
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
3213
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
3214
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
3216
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
3217
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
3219
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
3220
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
3221
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
3223
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
3224
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
3225
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
3226
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
3227
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
3228
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
3233
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
3234
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
3235
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
3236
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
3238
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
3239
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
3240
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
3241
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
3245
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
3246
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
3249
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
3250
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
3252
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
3254
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
3255
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
3256
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
3261
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3263
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
3266
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
3267
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
3268
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
3269
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
3270
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
3271
(Martin Pool, #109520)
3273
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
3274
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
3276
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
3277
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
3278
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
3279
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
3281
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
3282
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
3284
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
3285
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
3327
********************
3329
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
3330
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
3335
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
3336
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
3337
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
3338
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
3341
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
3342
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
3343
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
3344
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
3345
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
3346
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
3348
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
3349
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
3350
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
3351
(Alexander Belchenko)
3353
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
3355
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
3356
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
3361
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
3362
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
3364
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
3365
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
3371
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
3373
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3375
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
3376
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
3377
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
3379
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
3380
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
3382
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
3383
to. (Daniel Watkins)
3385
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
3386
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
3387
(Alexander Belchenko)
3389
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
3390
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
3391
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
3392
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
3394
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
3397
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
3398
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
3399
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
3400
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
3401
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
3406
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
3407
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
3408
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
3409
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
3411
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
3412
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
3414
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
3415
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)

* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
3418
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.

3421
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
3422
(#198793, John Ferlito)
3424
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
3427
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
3428
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
3430
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
3432
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
3434
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
3435
symlinks (James Henstridge)
3437
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
3438
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
3440
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
3441
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
3443
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
3444
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
3446
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
3447
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
3449
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
3450
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
3455
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
3456
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
3461
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
3462
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
3463
(Alexander Belchenko)
3468
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
3470
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
3471
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
3477
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
3478
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
3479
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
3481
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
3482
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
3483
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
3484
(Alexander Belchenko)
3486
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
3487
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
3488
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
3489
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
3491
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
3492
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
3493
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
3496
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
3497
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
3498
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
3500
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
3501
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
3502
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
3504
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
3505
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
3506
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
3507
format. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
3523
********************
3525
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
3526
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
3527
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
3528
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
3529
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
3535
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
3536
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
3538
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
3539
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
3540
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
3542
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
3543
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
3544
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
3545
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
3546
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
3547
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
3553
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
3554
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3556
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
3557
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
3558
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
3561
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
3562
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
3563
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
3564
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
3565
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
3567
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
3568
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
3569
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
3570
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
3571
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
3572
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
3573
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
3574
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
3579
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
3580
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
3582
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
3583
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
3585
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
3586
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3588
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
3589
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
3590
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
3592
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
3593
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
3594
(John Arbash Meinel)
3599
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
3600
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
3602
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
3603
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
3605
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
3606
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
3608
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
3609
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
3610
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
3612
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
3613
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
3614
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
3616
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
3617
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
3619
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
3620
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
3621
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
3622
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
3623
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
3625
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
3627
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
3628
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
3631
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
3632
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
3634
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
3635
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
3637
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
3638
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
3640
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
3641
more characters which should be considered valid.
3642
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
3644
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
3645
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
3647
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
3648
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
3653
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
3654
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
3656
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
3657
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
3663
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
3664
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
3670
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
3671
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
3672
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
3674
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
3675
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
3676
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
3678
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
3679
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
3680
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
3681
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
3683
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
3685
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
3686
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
3687
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
3688
server. (Robert Collins)
3690
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
3691
operate. (Robert Collins)
3693
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
3694
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
3695
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
3697
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
3698
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
3699
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
3700
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
3702
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
3703
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
3705
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
3706
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
3707
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
3709
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
3710
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
3712
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
3713
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
3715
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
3716
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
3717
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
3718
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

(no changes from 1.1rc1)
3726
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
3727
#####################
3732
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
3733
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
3734
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
3735
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
3737
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
3738
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
3739
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
3740
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
3745
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
3748
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
3751
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
3752
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
3757
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
3760
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
3761
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
3762
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
3764
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
3766
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
3767
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
3768
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
3769
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
3770
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
3772
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
3773
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
3774
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
3776
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
3777
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
3779
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
3782
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
3784
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
3786
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
3789
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
3790
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
3795
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
3796
(Martin Pool, #180208)
3798
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
3799
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
3801
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
3804
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
3805
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
3807
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
3808
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
3810
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
3811
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3813
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
3814
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
3816
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
3817
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
3818
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
3820
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
3821
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
3823
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
3824
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
3827
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
3829
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
3830
user:pass embedded in the urls.
3831
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
3833
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
3834
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
3836
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
3839
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
3842
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
3843
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
3845
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
3848
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
3849
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
3852
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
3853
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
3854
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
3859
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
3862
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
3863
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
3864
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
3865
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
3866
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
3867
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
3869
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
3874
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
3877
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
3878
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
3880
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
3882
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
3883
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
3884
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
3887
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
3888
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3890
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
3899
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
3900
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
3901
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
3903
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
3904
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
3907
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
3908
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
3910
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
3911
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
3913
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
3914
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
3916
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
3917
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
3918
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
3920
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
3921
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
3923
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
3924
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
3926
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
3927
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
3930
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
3931
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
3933
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
3934
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
3943
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
3945
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
3948
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
3950
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
3951

Notes When Upgrading
4076
********************
4078
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
4079
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
4080
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
4081
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
4083
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
4084
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
4086
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
4087
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
4089
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
4090
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
4091
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
4092
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
4093
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
4094
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
4095
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
4096
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
4097
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
4098
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
4099
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
4100
from any tree without problems.
4101
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
4106
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
4107
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
4108
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
4110
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
4111
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
4117
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
4118
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
4119
supported transports.
4122
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
4123
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
4124
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
4126
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
4127
(Robert Collins, #154173)
4129
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
4130
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
4131
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
4132
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
4134
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
4135
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)

* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
4141
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
4142
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
4143
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4145
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
4146
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
4147
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
4148
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
4150
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
4151
(Robert Collins, #88319)
4153
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
4154
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
4156
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
4157
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
4159
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
4160
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
4166
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
4169
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
4170
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
4173
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
4174
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
4175
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
4176
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
4178
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
4179
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
4180
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
4181
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
4189
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
4190
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
4192
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
4193
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
4195
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
4196
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
4198
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
4199
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
4201
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
4202
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
4204
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
4205
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
4207
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
4208
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
4210
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
4213
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
4214
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
4216
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
4217
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
4218
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
4220
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
4221
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
4223
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
4224
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
4226
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
4227
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
4229
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
4230
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
4232
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
4233
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
4234
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
4235
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
4237
(Martin Pool, #164637)
4239
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
4240
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
4241
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
4243
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
4244
(Robert Collins, #161240)
4246
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
4248
(Martin Pool, #164443)
4250
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
4251
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
4253
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
4254
specify a port in urls.
4255
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
4257
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
4258
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
4260
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
4261
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
4263
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
4264
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
4266
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
4267
(Robert Collins, #153789)
4269
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
4270
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
4271
(Robert Collins, #165304).
4273
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
4275
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
4276
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
4278
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
4281
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
4282
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
4284
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
4285
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
4287
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
4288
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
4289
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
4291
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
4292
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
4294
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
4295
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
4296
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
4297
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
4299
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
4300
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
4302
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
4303
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
4304
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
4306
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
4307
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
4309
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
4310
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
4312
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
4313
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
4318
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
4319
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
4321
* The return value of
4322
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
4323
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
4324
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
4325
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
4327
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
4330
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
4331
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
4338
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
4339
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
4340
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
4343
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
4344
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
4346
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
4355
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
4358
bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29

######################
4364
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
4365
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
4367
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
4368
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
4369
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
4370
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
4371
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
4372
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
4373
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
4374
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
4375
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
4376
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
4377
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
4378
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
4384
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
4385
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
4386
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
4387
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
4388
commands. (Robert Collins)
4390
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
4391
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
4392
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
4395
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
4397
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
4398
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
4400
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
4401
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
4404
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
4405
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
4406
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
4411
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
4412
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
4414
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
4415
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
4417
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
4418
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
4419
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
4420
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
4422
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
4425
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
4426
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
4427
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
4428
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
4430
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
4431
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
4433
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
4434
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
4436
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
4437
the contents. (Robert Collins)
4439
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
4440
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
4445
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
4446
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
4448
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
4449
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
4451
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
4452
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
4454
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
4455
(Martin Pool, #63894)
4457
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
4458
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
4463
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
4465
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
4471
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
4472
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
4473
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
4475
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
4476
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
4478
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
4479
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
4481
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
4482
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
4483
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
4484
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
4486
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
4487
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
4488
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
4489
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
4490
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
4492
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
4493
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
4495
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
4497
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
4499
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
4500
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
4502
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
4503
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
4505
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
4506
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
4508
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
4509
contains a symbolic link.
4510
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
4512
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
4513
(James Westby, #140615)
4515
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
4516
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
4517
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
4519
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
4520
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
4521
(Martin Pool, #144633)
4523
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4525
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
4526
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
4528
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
4530
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
4532
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
4533
directory to detect leaking tests.
4534
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
4536
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
4537
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
4538
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
4540
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
4543
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
4544
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
4546
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
4552
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
4553
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
4555
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
4556
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
4557
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
4559
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
4560
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
4561
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
4563
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
4564
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
4566
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
4567
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
4569
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
4570
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
4573
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
4574
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
4576
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
4577
class that needs it.
4580
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
4581
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
4583
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
4584
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
4585
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
4587
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
4588
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
4589
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
4592
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
4593
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
4594
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
4595
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
4601
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
4602
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
4603
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
4605
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
4606
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
4607
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
4608
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
4610
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
4611
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
4614
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
4615
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
4616
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
4618
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
4619
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
4620
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
4622
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
4623
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
4625
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
4626
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
4627
to complete. (Robert Collins)
4629
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
4630
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
4632
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
4633
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
4634
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
4636
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
4637
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
4638
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
4640
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
4641
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
4642
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
4643
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
4645
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
4646
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
4647
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
4648
returned. (Robert Collins)
4650
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
4651
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
4653
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
4654
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
4655
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
4656
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
4659
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
4660
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
4665
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
4666
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
4668
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
4669
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
4670
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
4671
makes this behavior available to other users.
4674
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
4675
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
4684
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
4685
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
4686
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
4688
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
4690
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
4691
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
4692
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
4693
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
4695
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
4696
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
4700
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11

######################
4703
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left

bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
4708
######################
4713
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
4714
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
4715
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
4716
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
4719
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
4720
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
4721
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
4727
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
4728
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
4729
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
4732
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
4733
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
4734
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
4736
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
4737
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
4738
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
4740
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
4741
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
4743
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
4744
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
4745
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
4746
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
4747
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
4748
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
4749
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
4750
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
4751
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
4752
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
4754
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
4755
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
4757
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
4758
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
4759
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
4764
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
4765
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
4767
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
4768
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
4769
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
4771
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
4772
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
4774
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
4775
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
4777
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
4780
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
4781
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
4783
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
4784
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
4786
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
4787
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4789
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
4790
(Blake Winton, #129299)
4792
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
4794
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
4797
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
4798
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
4799
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
4800
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
4802
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4804
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
4805
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
4808
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
4809
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
4811
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
4812
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
4815
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
4816
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
4818
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
4819
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
4821
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
4822
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
4823
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
4824
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
4825
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
4826
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
4827
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
4829
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
4830
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
4832
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
4833
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
4835
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
4836
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
4838
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
4839
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
4841
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
4843
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
4845
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
4846
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
4848
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
4849
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
4850
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
4852
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
4853
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
4854
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
4859
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
4860
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4862
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
4865
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
4868
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
4869
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
4871
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
4873
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
4874
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
4876
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
4877
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
4879
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
4880
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
4881
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
4882
space). (Robert Collins)
4884
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
4885
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
4888
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
4889
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4891
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
4892
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
4894
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
4895
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
4896
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
4897
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
4899
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
4900
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
4901
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
4904
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
4907
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
4908
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
4909
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
4911
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
4912
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
4913
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
4914
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
4915
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
4920
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
4921
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
4923
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
4924
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
4925
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
4926
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
4927
affected. (Robert Collins)
4929
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
4930
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
4931
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
4934
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
4935
previous release. (Martin Pool)
4940
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
4941
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
4943
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
4944
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4946
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
4947
previous release. (Martin Pool)
4949
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
4952
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
4953
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4958
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
4959
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
4960
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
4961
its version information. (Robert Collins)
4963
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
4964
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4966
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
4967
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
4968
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
4969
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4971
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
4972
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
4973
present. (Robert Collins)
4975
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
4976
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
4977
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
4978
API. (Robert Collins)
4980
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
4981
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
4984
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
4985
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
4987
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
4988
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
4989
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
4990
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
4991
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
4992
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
4994
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
4995
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
4996
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
4998
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
4999
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
5000
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
5001
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
5004
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
5007
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
5008
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
5009
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
5010
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
5011
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
5012
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
5013
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
5015
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
5016
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
5017
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
5018
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
5020
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
5021
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
5022
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
5023
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
5024
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
5025
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
5027
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
5028
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
5029
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
5031
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
5032
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
5041
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
5042
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
5043
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
5044
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
5045
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
5046
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
5047
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
5048
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
5054
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
5055
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
5056
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
5059
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
5060
######################
5065
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
5066
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
5067
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
5068
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
5069
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
5071
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
5072
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
5074
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
5076
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
5078
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
5079
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
5082
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
5083
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
5086
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
5089
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
5090
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
5092
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
5093
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
5095
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
5096
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
5098
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
5099
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
5101
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
5102
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
5104
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
5110
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
5111
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
5113
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
5114
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
5116
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
5117
the repository (Robert Collins)
5119
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
5120
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
5121
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
5122
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
5123
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
5125
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
5126
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
5128
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
5129
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
5130
(John Arbash Meinel)
5132
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
5133
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
5134
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
5136
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
5137
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
5138
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
5139
(John Arbash Meinel)
5141
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
5142
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
5145
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
5146
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
5148
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
5151
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
5153
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
5155
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
5156
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
5158
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
5159
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
5162
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
5163
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
5164
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
5165
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
5167
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
5168
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
5169
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
5171
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
5172
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
5173
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
5175
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
5176
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
5178
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
5179
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
5180
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
5181
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
5182
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
5183
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
5186
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
5187
(Alexander Belchenko)
5189
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
5190
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
5192
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
5193
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
5195
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
5197
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
5198
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
5203
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
5204
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
5205
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
5206
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
5208
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
5210
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
5213
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
5214
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
5215
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
5216
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
5217
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
5218
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
5223
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
5224
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
5225
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
5226
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
5228
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
5229
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
5230
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
5231
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
5232
tests have been refactored too.
5235
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
5236
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
5237
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
5241
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
5242
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
5243
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
5245
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
5246
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
5247
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
5248
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
5249
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
5250
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
5251
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
5253
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
5254
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
5255
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
5256
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
5257
(John Arbash Meinel)
5259
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
5260
functionality for testing.
5262
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
5264
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
5265
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
5267
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
5269
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
5272
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
5273
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
5275
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
5276
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
5277
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
5279
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
5282
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
5283
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
5285
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
5286
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
5287
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
5288
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
5290
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
5291
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
5293
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
5294
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
5295
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
5297
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
5300
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
5301
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
5302
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
5303
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
5304
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
5305
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
5307
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
5308
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
5309
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
5310
many files. (Robert Collins)
5312
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
5313
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
5314
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
5315
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
5320
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
5321
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
5322
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
5324
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
5325
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
5327
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
5328
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
5329
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
5488
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
5489

5493
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)

``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5498
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
5500
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
5501
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
5502
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
5503
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
5504
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
5505
same location. (Robert Collins)
5510
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
5512
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
5514
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
5516
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
5519
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
5522
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
5523
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
5524
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
5526
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
5528
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
5529
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
5530
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
5532
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
5533
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
5535
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
5536
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
5537
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
5539
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
5540
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
5541
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
5543
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
5544
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
5545
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
5547
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
5548
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
5551
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
5552
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
5554
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
5555
(Alexander Belchenko)
5560
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
5561
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
5562
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
5563
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
5565
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
5566
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
5567
testing. (Robert Collins)
5569
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
5570
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
5572
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
5573
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
5574
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
5575
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
5576
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
5577
attribute during the test parameterisation in
5578
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
5580
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
5581
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
5582
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
5583
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
5585
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
5586
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
5588
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
5589
avoid useless cloning.

Notes When Upgrading
5610
********************
5612
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
5613
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
5614
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
5615
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
5616
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
5617
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
5618
and unlock() like so::
5620
work_tree.lock_read()
5622
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
5628
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
5629
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
5631
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
5632
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
5633
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
5635
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
5636
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
5637
too. (Robert Collins)
5642
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
5643
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
5646
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
5647
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
5649
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
5650
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
5652
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
5653
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
5654
understanding what changes have occurred
5655
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
5657
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
5658
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
5659
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
5661
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
5662
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
5663
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
5664
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
5666
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
5672
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
5673
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
5674
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
5675
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
5676
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
5678
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
5679
based on split paths, not just string paths.
5680
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
5682
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
5683
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
5685
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
5687
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
5689
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
5690
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
5692
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
5693
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
5695
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
5696
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
5698
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
5699
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
5701
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
5702
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
5704
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
5705
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
5706
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
5709
####################
5714
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
5715
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
5716
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
5717
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
5718
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
5720
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
5721
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
5722
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
5724
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
5725
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
5730
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
5731
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
5732
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
5734
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
5735
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
5736
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of

both. (John Arbash Meinel)

Notes When Upgrading
5767
********************
5769
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
5770
it could be recovered again.
5771
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
5772
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
5773
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
5775
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
5777
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
5778
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
5783
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
5784
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
5786
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
5787
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
5788
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
5789
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
5791
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
5792
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
5794
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
5795
tests with names that match that regular expression.
5796
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
5798
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
5799
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
5800
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
5802
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
5803
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
5804
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
5806
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
5807
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
5810
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
5813
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
5814
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
5815
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
5816
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
5818
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
5821
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
5822
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
5823
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
5826
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
5827
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
5829
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
5830
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
5832
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
5833
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
5834
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
5835
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
5838
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
5839
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
5841
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
5842
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
5844
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
5845
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
5846
(Robert Collins, #107125).
5848
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
5849
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
5850
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
5852
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
5853
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
5854
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5856
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
5857
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
5858
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
5859
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
5861
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
5862
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
5863
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
5864
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
5866
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
5867
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
5868
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
5869
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
5870
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
5871
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
5872
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
5873
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
5880
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
5881
code paths. (Robert Collins)
5883
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
5884
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
5885
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
5886
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
5887
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5889
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
5890
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
5892
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
5893
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
5895
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
5896
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
5898
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
5899
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
5901
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
5902
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
5903
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
5906
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
5907
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
5908
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
5909
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
5910
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
5913
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
5914
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
5915
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
5917
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
5918
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
5921
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
5922
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
5923
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
5926
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
5927
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
5928
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
5929
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
5930
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
5932
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
5933
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
5934
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
5935
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5937
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
5938
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
5940
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
5941
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
5942
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
5943
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
5944
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
5945
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
5947
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
5948
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
5950
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
5951
help. (Robert Collins)
5953
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
5954
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
5956
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
5957
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
5958
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
5959
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
5960
(John Arbash Meinel)
5962
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
5963
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
5964
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
5965
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
5966
useful. (Robert Collins)
5968
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
5974
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
5975
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
5977
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
5978
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
5980
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
5981
properly and is no longer beneficial.
5982
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
5984
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
5987
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
5988
the file, and does it faster.
5989
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
5991
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
5992
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
5993
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
5995
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
5996
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
5997
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
5998
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
6000
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
6001
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
6002
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
6003
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
6005
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
6006
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
6008
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
6009
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
6010
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
6011
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
6014
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
6016
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
6017
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
6019
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
6020
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
6022
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
6023
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
6024
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
6025
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
6029
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
6030
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
6035
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
6036
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
6037
in running it. (Robert Collins)
6039
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
6040
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
6042
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
6043
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
6044
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
6045
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
6046
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
6047
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
6048
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
6049
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
6051
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
6052
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
6053
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
6055
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
6056
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
6057
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
6058
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
6059
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
6061
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
6063
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
6064
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
6065
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
6067
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
6068
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
6077
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
6080
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
6081
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
6084
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
6085
#######################
6090
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
6091
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
6097
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
6098
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
6099
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
6100
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
6101
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
6102
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
6103
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
6104
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
6110
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
6111
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
6112
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
6114
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
6115
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
6118
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
6119
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
6120
(John Arbash Meinel)
6122
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
6123
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
6124
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
6125
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
6126
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
6131
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
6134
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
6135
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
6137
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
6138
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
6140
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
6141
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
6142
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
6144
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
6145
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
6147
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
6148
last-changed-revision for directories. The
6149
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
6150
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
6151
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
6153
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
6154
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
6155
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
6157
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

6163
Notes When Upgrading
6164
********************
6166
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
6167
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
6168
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
6173
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
6174
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
6176
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
6177
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
6179
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
6181
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
6182
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
6184
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
6185
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
6190
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
6196
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
6197
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
6198
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
6199
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
6201
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
6202
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
6204
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
6205
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
6207
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
6210
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
6211
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
6214
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
6215
#######################
6220
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
6221
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
6222
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
6223
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
6224
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
6225
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
6227
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
6228
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
6229
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
6230
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
6231
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
6232
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
6234
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
6236
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
6237
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
6238
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
6239
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
6240
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
6241
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
6242
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
6243
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
6248
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
6249
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
6251
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
6252
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
6253
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
6254
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
6256
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
6257
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
6258
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
6259
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
6260
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
6262
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
6265
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
6268
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
6271
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
6272
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
6275
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
6278
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
6279
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
6281
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
6282
directory. (Martin Pool)
6284
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
6285
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
6286
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
6287
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
6289
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
6290
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
6291
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
6292
in docs/configuration.txt.
6294
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
6295
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
6298
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
6299
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
6300
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
6301
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
6302
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
6303
repositories. (Martin Pool)
6305
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
6306
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
6308
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
6309
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
6311
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
6317
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
6318
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
6319
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
6320
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
6321
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
6322
(John Arbash Meinel)
6324
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
6325
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
6328
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
6329
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
6330
(John Arbash Meinel)
6332
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
6333
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
6334
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
6335
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
6336
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
6337
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
6339
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
6340
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
6341
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
6343
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
6344
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
6345
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
6346
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
6348
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6350
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
6351
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
6352
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
6353
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
6355
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
6356
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
6357
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
6358
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
6360
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
6361
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
6362
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
6364
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
6365
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
6366
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
6368
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
6369
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
6370
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
6371
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
6373
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
6374
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
6375
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
6377
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
6378
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
6379
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
6381
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
6382
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
6383
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
6384
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
6385
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
6386
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
6387
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
6388
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
6389
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

6397
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
6398
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
6400
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
6403
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
6404
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
6405
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.

6471
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
6472
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
6473
server, then you can write over the http connection.
6474
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
6476
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
6479
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
6480
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
6481
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
6483
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
6484
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
6486
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
6489
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
6490
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
6491
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
6492
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
6493
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
6494
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
6496
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
6497
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
6498
should enable you to do::
6500
[/home/user/project]
6501
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
6502
push_location:policy = appendpath
6504
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
6505
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
6508
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
6509
for each file. For example::
6511
$ bzr status --short
6517
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
6518
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
6520
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
6522
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
6523
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
6525
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
6530
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
6531
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
6532
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
6533
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
6535
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
6536
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
6537
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
6539
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
6541
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
6542
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
6543
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
6544
(Alexander Belchenko)
6546
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
6549
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
6550
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
6552
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
6557
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
6558
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
6560
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
6561
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
6562
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
6563
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
6564
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
6566
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
6567
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
6569
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
6570
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
6572
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
6574
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
6576
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
6577
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
6578
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
6579
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
6580
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
6582
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
6583
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
6584
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
6585
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
6587
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
6588
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
6590
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
6591
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
6593
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.

6616
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
6617
operations are substantially faster.
6618
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
6620
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
6621
tree from some other url. For example:
6622
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
6623
(Daniel Silverstone)
6625
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
6626
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
6627
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
6628
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
6630
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
6633
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
6634
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
6635
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
6636
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
6637
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
6638
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
6643
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
6644
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
6647
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
6648
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
6649
(John Arbash Meinel)
6651
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
6652
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
6653
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
6654
(John Arbash Meinel)
6656
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
6657
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
6659
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
6660
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
6662
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
6663
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
6669
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
6670
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
6671
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
6673
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
6674
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
6675
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
6676
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
6678
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
6680
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
6681
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
6683
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
6684
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
6685
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
6686
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
6688
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
6689
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
6690
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
6692
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
6693
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
6694
them as full references rather than integers.
6695
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
6697
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
6698
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
6700
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
6702
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.

6705
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
6706
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
6708
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
6709
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
6710
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
6711
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
6713
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
6714
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
6715
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
6717
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
6718
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
6720
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
6721
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
6722
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
6723
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.

* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
6749
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
6750
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
6751
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
6753
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
6754
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
6756
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
6758
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
6759
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
6760
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
6761
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
6763
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
6764
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
6765
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
6766
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
6767
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
6772
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
6773
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
6778
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
6779
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
6780
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
6782
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
6783
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
6784
(John Arbash Meinel)
6786
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
6787
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
6788
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
6790
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
6791
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
6794
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
6795
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
6796
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6798
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
6799
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
6800
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
6801
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
6802
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
6803
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6805
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
6806
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
6807
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
6810
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
6811
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
6816
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
6817
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
6818
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
6821
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
6822
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
6824
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
6825
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
6826
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
6828
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
6829
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
6831
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
6832
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
6833
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
6834
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
6836
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
6837
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
6839
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
6840
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
6841
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
6843
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
6844
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
6846
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
6848
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
6849
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
6855
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
6856
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
6857
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
6858
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)

added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
6888
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
6889
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
6890
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when

adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
6892
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)

* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
6900
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
6901
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
6903
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
6904
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
6905
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
6908
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand

6910
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.

* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
6957
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
6959
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
6960
(John Arbash Meinel)
6962
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
6963
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
6964
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
6966
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
6967
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
6969
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
6970
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
6971
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
6972
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
6974
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
6975
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
6976
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
6978
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
6979
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
6984
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
6989
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
6990
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
6991
(John Arbash Meinel)
6993
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
6994
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
6995
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
6996
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
6998
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
7001
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
7002
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
7003
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
7005
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
7006
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
7008
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
7009
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
7010
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
7012
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
7013
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
7014
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
7015
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
7016
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
7017
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
7018
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
7019
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
7020
caller to repeat their request.
7021
(John Arbash Meinel)
7023
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
7024
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
7026
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
7027
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
7029
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
7030
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
7031
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
7032
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
7033
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
7034
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
7035
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
7037
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
7038
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
7039
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
7040
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
7041
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
7042
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
7043
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
7044
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
7047
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
7048
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
7049
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
7051
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
7052
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
7054
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
7055
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
7057
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
7058
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
7063
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
7064
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
7066
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
7067
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
7068
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
7070
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
7071
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
7072
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
7075
####################
7079
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
7080
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
7082
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
7083
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
7084
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
7085
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
7086
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
7088
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
7089
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
7090
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
7092
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
7093
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
7095
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
7096
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
7097
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
7102
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
7104
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
7105
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
7106
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
7108
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
7110
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
7112
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
7113
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
7114
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
7115
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
7117
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
7118
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
7119
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
7120
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
7121
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
7123
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
7124
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
7126
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
7127
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
7129
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
7130
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
7132
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
7133
in handling of revision properties.
7134
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
7136
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
7137
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
7142
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
7143
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
7144
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
7145
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
7146
(John Arbash Meinel)
7148
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
7149
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
7150
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
7152
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11

#####################
7158
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
7159
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
7160
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
7161
specific one '.bzrignore'.
7162
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
7163
a more conservative list than the old default.
7164
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
7165
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
7166
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
7167
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
7169
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
7170
to more locations than just branch locations.
7176
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
7177
revno:N:branch. For example,
7178
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
7179
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
7181
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
7182
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
7183
the path of a file that has been versioned.
7184
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
7185
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
7186
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
7187
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
7188
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
7191
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
7192
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
7193
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
7196
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
7197
(Alexander Belchenko)
7199
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
7201
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
7204
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
7205
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
7206
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
7207
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
7208
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
7209
(John Arbash Meinel)
7211
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
7212
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
7213
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
7214
grained analysis of performance.
7215
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
7217
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
7218
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
7220
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
7221
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
7222
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
7223
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
7224
file. (Robert Collins).
7226
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
7227
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
7228
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
7230
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
7231
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
7234
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
7235
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
7237
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
7238
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
7239
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
7240
the same way you would apply another branch.
7241
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
7243
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
7244
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
7246
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
7249
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
7252
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
7253
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
7254
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
7256
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
7257
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
7258
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
7260
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
7261
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
7263
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
7264
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
7265
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
7266
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
7267
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
7269
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
7270
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
7272
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
7273
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
7274
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
7275
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
7276
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
7277
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
7278
branch is as much as 4x faster.
7279
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
7281
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
7282
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
7283
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
7288
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
7290
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
7292
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
7293
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
7295
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
7296
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
7298
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
7299
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
7301
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
7303
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
7304
(John Arbash Meinel)
7306
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
7307
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
7309
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
7310
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
7313
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
7314
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
7316
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
7317
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
7319
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
7320
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
7321
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
7322
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
7324
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
7325
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
7327
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
7329
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
7330
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
7332
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
7334
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
7336
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
7337
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
7339
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
7340
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
7342
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
7343
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
7344
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
7346
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
7347
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
7348
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
7350
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
7351
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
7353
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
7354
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
7356
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
7357
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
7359
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
7360
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
7362
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
7363
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
7365
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
7366
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
7367
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
7369
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
7371
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
7372
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
7377
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
7378
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
7379
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
7381
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
7382
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
7384
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
7385
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
7386
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
7388
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
7389
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
7391
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
7392
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
7395
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
7396
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
7397
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
7399
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
7400
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
7401
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
7403
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
7404
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
7405
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
7407
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
7408
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
7409
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
7411
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
7412
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
7413
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
7415
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
7416
instead. (Robert Collins)

7473
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
7474
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
7479
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
7480
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
7485
Notes When Upgrading
7486
********************
7488
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
7489
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
7490
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
7491
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
7492
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
7493
will keep the same format.
7495
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
7496
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
7497
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
7498
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
7499
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
7501
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
7502
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
7503
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
7504
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
7505
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
7506
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
7507
indicating the current revision of the branch.
7509
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
7510
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
7511
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
7512
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
7513
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
7515
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
7516
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
7517
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
7524
* sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
7525
convention. Paths now take the form::
7527
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
7529
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
7531
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
7532
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
7534
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
7535
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
7536
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
7538
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
7539
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
7540
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
7541
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
7543
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
7544
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
7545
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
7547
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
7549
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
7551
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
7552
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
7555
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
7556
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
7559
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
7561
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
7562
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
7563
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
7566
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
7568
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
7570
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
7573
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
7574
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
7576
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
7577
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
7580
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
7581
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
7584
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
7586
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
7588
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
7589
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
7591
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
7592
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
7593
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
7594
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
7595
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
7596
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
7598
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
7600
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
7601
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
7604
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
7605
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
7607
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
7608
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
7610
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
7612
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
7613
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
7614
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
7615
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
7616
specification by Martin Pool.
7617
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
7619
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
7622
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
7623
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
7625
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
7626
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
7627
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
7629
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
7631
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
7632
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
7638
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
7639
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
7641
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
7643
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
7645
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
7648
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
7649
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
7650
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
7651
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
7656
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
7657
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
7658
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
7659
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
7661
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
7662
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
7663
tried. (Martin Pool)
7665
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
7668
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
7670
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
7671
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
7672
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
7674
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
7675
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
7677
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
7678
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
7679
paths. (Robert Collins)
7681
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
7682
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
7683
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
7685
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
7686
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
7687
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
7689
* Progress bars are now nested - see
7690
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
7691
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
7693
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
7696
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
7699
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
7701
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
7703
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
7704
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
7705
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
7708
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
7709
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
7711
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
7712
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
7713
check. (Robert Collins)
7715
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
7716
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
7721
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
7722
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
7724
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
7725
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
7726
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
7727
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
7729
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
7730
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
7731
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
7732
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
7733
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
7735
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
7736
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
7737
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
7739
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
7741
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
7742
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
7750
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
7751
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
7753
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
7754
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
7755
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
7758
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
7759
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
7761
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
7762
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
7763
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
7764
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
7765
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
7767
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
7768
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
7769
used. (Robert Collins)
7771
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
7772
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
7775
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
7776
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
7777
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
7779
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
7782
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
7783
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
7788
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
7789
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
7791
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
7793
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
7795
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
7796
tree. (Robert Collins)
7798
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
7799
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
7800
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
7803
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
7806
* Tweaks to short log printing
7808
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
7811
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
7812
occurs. (Martin Pool)
7814
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
7815
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
7817
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
7818
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
7820
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
7821
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
7822
settings. (Magnus Therning)
7824
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
7825
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
7827
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
7828
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
7831
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
7832
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
7834
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
7835
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
7837
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
7838
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
7840
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
7843
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
7844
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
7846
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
7847
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
7849
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
7850
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
7851
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
7856
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
7858
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
7860
* Error when run with -OO
7862
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
7865
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
7867
* Change status to 3 for all errors
7869
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
7870
ignored by diff and status
7872
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
7873
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
7875
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
7877
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
7879
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
7880
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
7882
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
7883
email address. (Marien Zwart)
7885
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
7888
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
7889
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
7891
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
7893
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
7894
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
7896
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
7899
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
7900
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
7902
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
7907
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
7908
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
7910
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
7912
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
7914
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
7916
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
7917
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
7918
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
7920
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
7922
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
7923
(John Arbash Meinel)
7925
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
7927
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
7928
If adding a new test script please add that to
7929
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
7931
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
7932
imported. (Martin Pool)
7934
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
7935
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
7936
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
7937
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
7938
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
7941
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
7942
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
7943
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
7945
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
7946
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
7947
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
7949
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
7950
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
7951
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
7952
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
7953
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
7956
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
7957
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
7963
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
7964
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
7966
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
7967
function. (Robert Collins)
7969
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
7970
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
7971
if needed). (Robert Collins)
7973
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
7974
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
7977
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
7978
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
7979
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
7980
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
7981
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
7982
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
7983
version. (Robert Collins)
7985
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
7986
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
7988
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
7989
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
7990
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
7991
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
7992
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
7993
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
7995
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
7998
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
8008
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
8010
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
8012
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
8015
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
8016
query method. (Robert Collins)
8018
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
8021
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
8024
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
8027
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
8028
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
8029
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
8030
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
8032
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
8033
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
8034
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
8035
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
8037
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
8038
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
8046
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
8049
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
8053
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
8054
a separator, not ':'.
8057
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
8058
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
8059
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
8061
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
8062
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
8065
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
8066
has been added that suppresses all output.
8068
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
8071
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
8072
Goffredo Baroncelli.
8074
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
8075
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
8077
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
8078
a revision. (Robert Collins)
8080
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
8081
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
8082
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
8083
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
8085
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
8087
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
8088
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
8090
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
8091
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
8093
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
8094
output directory, if one was supplied.
8096
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
8097
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
8098
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
8099
parameters. (Robert Collins)
8101
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
8103
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
8104
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
8106
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
8107
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
8108
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
8110
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
8111
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
8113
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
8116
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
8118
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
8123
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
8124
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
8125
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
8127
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
8128
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
8129
related questions. (Robert Collins)
8131
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
8132
is given. (Martin Pool)
8134
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
8135
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
8136
file. (Robert Collins)
8138
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
8144
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
8145
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
8146
representation. (Martin Pool).
8148
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
8149
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
8150
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
8152
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
8155
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
8156
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
8159
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
8160
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
8161
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
8162
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
8163
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
8165
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
8166
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
8167
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
8168
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
8169
python path. (Robert Collins)
8171
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
8172
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
8173
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
8174
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
8176
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
8177
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
8179
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
8180
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
8183
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
8184
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
8185
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
8187
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
8188
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
8189
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
8191
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
8192
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
8194
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
8195
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
8196
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
8199
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
8200
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
8201
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
8202
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
8205
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
8208
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
8209
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
8212
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
8213
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
8214
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
8216
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
8217
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propagate as normal.
8218
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
8220
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
8221
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
8222
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
8224
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
8225
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
8227
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
8228
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
8229
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
8230
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
8231
caller. (Robert Collins)
8233
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
8234
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
8237
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
8238
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
8241
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
8243
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
8244
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
8249
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
8250
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
8252
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
8253
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

####################
8262
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
8263
allow directories to be listed.
8265
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
8266
upgrading branch format.
8271
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
8280
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
8281
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
8282
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
8283
high-latency connections.
8288
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
8291
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
8292
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
8294
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
8295
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
8296
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
8297
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
8299
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
8300
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
8302
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
8303
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
8305
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
8306
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
8307
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
8309
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
8310
for files with only a change to their executable status.
8311
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
8314
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
8315
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
8317
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
8318
different partial views of history.
8320
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
8321
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
8326
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
8327
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
8328
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
8330
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
8331
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
8334
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
8335
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
8337
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
8340
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
8341
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
8343
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
8344
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
8345
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
8346
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
8348
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
8350
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
8351
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
8354
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
8355
Contributed by Robert Collins.
8357
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
8358
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
8359
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
8365
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
8366
for your viewing pleasure.
8368
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
8369
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
8371
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
8372
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
8373
handling of such circumstances.
8375
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
8376
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
8377
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
8379
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
8381
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
8382
we call them revisions not patches.
8384
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
8385
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
8387
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
8388
giving the revision *of that file*.
8390
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
8391
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
8392
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
8397
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
8398
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
8400
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
8401
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``

8417
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
8419
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
8420
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
8425
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
8426
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
8428
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
8429
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
8430
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
8431
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by

* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
8435
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.

####################
8452
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
8453
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
8454
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
8455
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
8458
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
8461
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
8462
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
8463
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
8464
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
8465
for the operating system is still tried.
8467
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
8468
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
8469
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
8475
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
8480
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.

8512
* Much better merge support.
8514
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
8515
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things

8558
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
8559
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.

8563
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
8564
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
8566
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp

8571
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
8574
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
8575
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
8577
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
8578
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
8579
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
8585
* Faster working tree operations.
8591
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
8592
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
8593
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
8594
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
8596
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
8597
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
8598
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
8599
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
8600
standard plugins directory.
8602
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
8603
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
8604
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
8605
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
8607
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
8608
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
8610
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
8613
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
8614
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
8615
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
8617
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
8618
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
8620
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
8621
line options must come before the command name because they
8622
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
8623
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
8626
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
8628
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one

#####################
8644
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
8645
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
8647
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
8648
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
8649
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
8650
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
8652
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
8653
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
8654
with the ``--forward`` option.
8656
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
8657
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
8664
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
8665
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
8667
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
8669
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
8670
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
8672
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
8674
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
8675
either read or write mode.
8677
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
8679
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that

8684
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
8685
suggested by LarstiQ.

* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
8688
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.

8697
haven't changed since the previous time.
8699
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
8700
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.

* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
8707
range; contributed by John A Meinel.

8723
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
8725
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
8732
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
8733
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to

* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
8737
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
8739
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
8740
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
8742
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
8743
under a different version.
8745
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
8751
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.

* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
8754
Scott James Remnant.
8756
* Better help messages for many commands.

* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
8759
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
8761
