.. contents:: List of Releases
21
* ``bzr branch`` in a shared repository is now faster for
22
development6-rich-root format. (Ian Clatworthy)
24
* ``bzr branch --notree`` is now faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
35
* Added osutils.parent_directories(). (Ian Clatworthy)
49
The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming content
50
with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search. New command ``bzr
51
dpush``. Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two
52
revisions introduce the exact same line.
54
Changes from 1.15rc1 to 1.15final
55
*********************************
62
* ``bzr ls`` is no longer recursive by default. To recurse, use the
63
new ``-R`` option. The old ``--non-recursive`` option has been removed.
64
If you alias ``ls`` to ``ls -R``, you can disable recursion using
65
``--no-recursive`` instead. (Ian Clatworthy)
70
* Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two revisions
71
introduce the exact same line. See ``bzrlib.annotate._break_annotation_tie``
72
Be aware though that this is temporary, private (as indicated by the leading
73
'_') and a first step to address the problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #348459)
75
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
76
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
79
* ``bzr send`` will now check the ``child_submit_format`` setting in
80
the submit branch to determine what format to use, if none was
81
specified on the command-line. (Jelmer Vernooij)
86
* -Dhpss output now includes the number of VFS calls made to the remote
87
server. (Jonathan Lange)
89
* ``--coverage`` works for code running in threads too.
90
(Andrew Bennets, Vincent Ladeuil)
92
* ``bzr pull`` now has a ``--local`` option to only make changes to the
93
local branch, and not the bound master branch.
94
(Gary van der Merwe, #194716)
96
* ``bzr rm *`` is now as fast as ``bzr rm * --keep``. (Johan Walles, #180116)
101
* Adding now works properly when path contains a symbolic link.
102
(Geoff Bache, #183831)
104
* An error is now raised for unknown eol values. (Brian de Alwis, #358199)
106
* ``bzr merge --weave`` will now generate a conflict if one side deletes a
107
line, and the other side modifies the line. (John Arbash Meinel, #328171)
109
* ``bzr reconfigure --standalone`` no longer raises IncompatibleRepositories.
110
(Martin von Gagern, #248932)
112
* ``bzr send`` works to send emails again using MAPI.
113
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #346998)
115
* Check for missing parent inventories in StreamSink. This prevents
116
incomplete stacked branches being created by 1.13 bzr:// and
117
bzr+ssh:// clients (which have bug #354036). Instead, the server now
118
causes those clients to send the missing records. (Andrew Bennetts)
120
* Correctly handle http servers proposing multiple authentication schemes.
121
(Vincent Ladeuil, #366107)
123
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
124
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
126
* Fix a bug in the pure-python ``GroupCompress`` code when handling copies
127
longer than 64KiB. (John Arbash Meinel, #364900)
129
* Fix TypeError in running ``bzr break-lock`` on some URLs.
130
(Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #365891)
132
* Non-recursive ``bzr ls`` now works properly when a path is specified.
133
(Jelmer Vernooij, #357863)
135
* ssh usernames (defined in ~/.ssh/config) are honoured for bzr+ssh connections.
136
(Vincent Ladeuil, #367726)
138
* Several bugs related to unicode symlinks have been fixed and the test suite
139
enhanced to better catch regressions for them. (Vincent Ladeuil)
141
* The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming
142
content with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search: it assumes
143
that the client will make sure it is happy with what it got, and this
144
sort of mismatch is normal for stacked environments.
145
bzr 1.13.0/1 will stream from unstacked branches only - in that case not
146
getting all the content expected would be a bug. However the graph
147
search is how we figured out what we wanted, so a mismatch is both odd
148
and unrecoverable without starting over, and starting over will end up
149
with the same data as if we just permitted the mismatch. If data is
150
gc'd, doing a new search will find only the truncated data, so sending
151
only the truncated data seems reasonable. bzr versions newer than this
152
will stream from stacked branches and check the stream to find missing
153
content in the stacked-on branch, and thus will handle the situation
154
implicitly. (Robert Collins, #360791)
156
* Upgrading to, or fetching into a 'rich-root' format will now correctly
157
set the root data the same way that reconcile does.
158
(Robert Collins, #368921)
160
* Using unicode Windows API to obtain command-line arguments.
161
(Alexander Belchenko, #375934)
169
* ``InterPackRepo.fetch`` and ``RepoFetcher`` now raise ``NoSuchRevision``
170
instead of ``InstallFailed`` when they detect a missing revision.
171
``InstallFailed`` itself has been deleted. (Jonathan Lange)
173
* Not passing arguments to ``bzrlib.commands.main()`` will now grab the
174
arguments from ``osutils.get_unicode_argv()`` which has proper support
175
for unicode arguments on windows. Further, the supplied arguments are now
176
required to be unicode strings, rather than user_encoded strings.
177
(Alexander Belchenko)
182
* ``bzrlib.branch.Branch.set_parent`` is now present on the base branch
183
class and will call ``_set_parent_location`` after doing unicode
184
encoding. (Robert Collins)
186
* ``bzrlib.remote.RemoteBranch._set_parent_location`` will use a new verb
187
``Branch.set_parent_location`` removing further VFS operations.
190
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir._get_config`` now returns a ``TransportConfig``
191
or similar when the dir supports configuration settings. The base class
192
defaults to None. There is a matching new server verb
193
``BzrDir.get-config_file`` to reduce roundtrips for getting BzrDir
194
configuration. (Robert Collins)
196
* ``bzrlib.tests.ExtendedTestResult`` has new methods ``startTests``
197
called before the first test is started, ``done`` called after the last
198
test completes, and a new parameter ``strict``. (Robert Collins)
200
* ``-Dhpss`` when passed to bzr will cause a backtrace to be printed when
201
VFS operations are started on a smart server repository. This should not
202
occur on regular push and pull operations, and is a key indicator for
203
performance regressions. (Robert Collins)
205
* ``-Dlock`` when passed to the selftest (e.g. ``bzr -Dlock selftest``) will
206
cause mismatched physical locks to cause test errors rather than just
207
reporting to the screen. (Robert Collins)
209
* Fallback ``CredentialStore`` instances registered with ``fallback=True``
210
are now be able to provide credentials if obtaining credentials
211
via ~/.bazaar/authentication.conf fails. (Jelmer Vernooij,
212
Vincent Ladeuil, #321918)
214
* New hook ``Lock.lock_broken`` which runs when a lock is
215
broken. This is mainly for testing that lock/unlock are
216
balanced in tests. (Vincent Ladeuil)
218
* New MergeDirective hook 'merge_request_body' allows hooks to supply or
219
alter a body for the message produced by ``bzr send``.
221
* New smart server verb ``BzrDir.initialize_ex`` which implements a
222
refactoring to the core of clone allowing less round trips on new
223
branches. (Robert Collins)
225
* New method ``Tags.rename_revisions`` that can rename revision ids tags
226
are pointing at. (Jelmer Vernooij)
228
* Updated the bundled ``ConfigObj`` library to 4.6.0 (Matt Nordhoff)
233
* ``bzr selftest`` will now fail if lock/unlock are not correctly balanced in
234
tests. Using ``-Dlock`` will turn the related failures into warnings.
235
(Vincent Ladeuil, Robert Collins)
239
:Codename: brisbane-core
245
New formats 1.14 and 1.14-rich-root supporting End-Of-Line (EOL) conversions,
246
keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin) and generic content filtering.
247
End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting content
250
Changes from 1.14final to 1.14.1
251
********************************
253
* Change api_minimum_version back to api_minimum_version = (1, 13, 0)
255
Changes from 1.14rc2 to 1.14final
256
*********************************
258
* Fix a bug in the pure-python ``GroupCompress`` code when handling copies
259
longer than 64KiB. (John Arbash Meinel, #364900)
261
Changes from 1.14rc1 to 1.14rc2
262
*******************************
264
* Fix for bug 358037 Revision not in
265
bzrlib.groupcompress.GroupCompressVersionedFiles (Brian de Alwis,
268
* Fix for bug 354036 ErrorFromSmartServer - AbsentContentFactory object has no
269
attribute 'get_bytes_as' exception while pulling from Launchpad
270
(Jean-Francois Roy, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
272
* Fix for bug 355280 eol content filters are never loaded and thus never
273
applied (Brian de Alwis, Ian Clatworthy)
275
* bzr.dev -r4280 Change _fetch_uses_deltas = False for CHK repos until we can
276
write a better fix. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins)
278
* Fix for bug 361574 uncommit recommends undefined --levels and -n options
279
(Marius Kruger, Ian Clatworthy)
281
* bzr.dev r4289 as cherrypicked at lp:~spiv/bzr/stacking-cherrypick-1.14
282
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
287
* A previously disabled code path to accelerate getting configuration
288
settings from a smart server has been reinstated. We think this *may*
289
cause a incompatibility with servers older than bzr 0.15. We intend
290
to issue a point release to address this if it turns out to be a
291
problem. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
293
* bzr no longer autodetects nested trees as 'tree-references'. They
294
must now be explicitly added tree references. At the commandline, use
295
join --reference instead of add. (Aaron Bentley)
297
* The ``--long`` log format (the default) no longer shows merged
298
revisions implicitly, making it consistent with the ``short`` and
299
``line`` log formats. To see merged revisions for just a given
300
revision, use ``bzr log -n0 -rX``. To see every merged revision,
301
use ``bzr log -n0``. (Ian Clatworthy)
306
* New formats ``1.14`` and ``1.14-rich-root`` supporting End-Of-Line
307
(EOL) conversions, keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin)
308
and generic content filtering. These formats replace the experimental
309
``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root`` formats
310
respectively, but have support for filtered views disabled.
313
* New ``mv --auto`` option recognizes renames after they occur.
316
* ``bzr`` can now get passwords from stdin without requiring a controlling
317
terminal (i.e. by redirecting stdin). (Vincent Ladeuil)
319
* ``bzr log`` now supports filtering of multiple files and directories
320
and will show changes that touch any of them. Furthermore,
321
directory filtering now shows the changes to any children of that
322
directory, not just the directory object itself.
323
(Ian Clatworthy, #97715)
325
* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the
326
shelf, via the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
328
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
331
* ``bzr xxx --usage`` where xxx is a command now shows a usage
332
message and the options without the descriptive help sections
333
(like Description and Examples). A message is also given
334
explaining how to see the complete help, i.e. ``bzr help xxx``.
337
* Content filters can now be used to provide custom conversion
338
between the canonical format of content (i.e. as stored) and
339
the convenience format of content (i.e. as created in working
340
trees). See ``bzr help content-filters`` for further details.
341
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
343
* End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting
344
content filtering. See ``bzr help eol`` for details.
347
* Newly-blessed `join` command allows combining two trees into one.
353
* A new format name alias ``default-rich-root`` has been added and
354
points at the closest relative of the default format that supports
355
rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
357
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
358
the data when the target repository does not need topological
359
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
360
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
361
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
363
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
364
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
367
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
368
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
369
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
371
* ``bzr log`` now has ``--include-merges`` as an alias for ``--levels 0``.
374
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
377
* IPv6 literals are accepted in URLs.
378
(stlman, Martin Pool, Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
380
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
381
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
383
* Prompt for user names if they are not in the configuration.
384
(Jelmer Vernooij, #256612)
386
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server
387
now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
390
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
391
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
392
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
394
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
395
to "Ignoring files outside view. View is .." to reduce confusion
396
about what was being considered and what was being ignored.
399
* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
400
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
401
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
402
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
404
* The ``brisbane-core`` project has delivered its beta format
405
``development6-rich-root``. This format is suitable for judicious
406
testing by early adopters. In particular if you are benchmarking bzr
407
performance please be sure to test using this format. At this stage
408
more information is best obtained by contacting the Bazaar mailing list
409
or IRC channel if you are interested in using this format. We will make
410
end user documentation available closer to blessing the format as
411
production ready. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Ian Clatworthy,
412
Vincent Ladeuil, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
414
* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!
420
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
421
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
422
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
423
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
424
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
425
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
426
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
428
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
429
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
431
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
432
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
433
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
434
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
436
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log
437
-m``. (Anne Mohsen, Martin Pool)
439
* ``bzr split`` now says "See also: join" (Aaron Bentley, #335015)
441
* ``bzr version-info`` now works in empty branches. (Jelmer Vernooij,
444
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
445
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
446
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
448
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
449
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
451
* Fix 'make check-dist-tarball' failure by converting paths to unicode when
452
needed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355454)
454
* Fixed "Specified file 'x/y/z' is outside current view: " occurring
455
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
456
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
458
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
459
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
460
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
461
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
463
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
465
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
466
(Vincent Ladeuil, #346593)
468
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
469
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
470
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
471
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
472
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
474
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
475
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
476
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
477
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
478
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
479
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
480
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
482
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX. Several minor issues (mostly
483
test related) have been fixed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355273).
485
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
486
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
489
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
490
(James Westby, #341558)
492
* The help for the ``info`` command has been corrected.
493
(Ian Clatworthy, #351931)
495
* Upgrade will now use a sensible default format if the source repository
496
uses rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #252908)
501
* Expanded the index of the developer documentation. (Eric Siegerman)
503
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
505
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.
506
(James Westby, #336998)
511
* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous versions of bzr are now removed.
514
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
515
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
518
* New abstract ``UIFactory`` method ``get_username`` which will be called to
519
obtain the username to use when connecting to remote machines.
522
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
523
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
524
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
526
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
527
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
528
Meinel, Robert Collins)
530
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
531
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
532
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
533
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
536
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
537
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
540
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
543
* The ``Serializer`` class and the serializer ``format registry`` have moved
544
from ``bzrlib.xml_serializer`` to ``bzrlib.serializer``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
546
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
547
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
548
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
549
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
551
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
552
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
553
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
558
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
559
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
560
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
561
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
562
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
564
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
565
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
567
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
568
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
569
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
570
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
576
* Added ``chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string maps.
577
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
579
* Added ``bzrlib.chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string
580
maps. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
582
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
583
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
584
streaming on the the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
586
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
587
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
588
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
589
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
591
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
592
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
593
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
594
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
596
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
597
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
598
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
600
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
601
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
602
dependency. (Robert Collins)
604
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
605
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
606
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
608
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
609
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
612
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
613
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
614
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
616
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
617
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
619
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
620
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
621
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
623
* New hook ``RioVersionInfoBuilder.revision``, allowing extra entries
624
to be added to the stanza that is printed for a particular revision.
627
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
628
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
629
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
631
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
632
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
633
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
634
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
635
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
637
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
638
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
639
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
640
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
642
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
643
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
644
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
645
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
647
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
648
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
649
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
651
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
652
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
655
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
656
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
657
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
659
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
660
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
661
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
662
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
663
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
665
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
666
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only linux
667
machine work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,
670
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
671
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
672
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
673
desired. (Robert Collins)
675
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include
676
information about ghosts when the special revision ``include-missing:``
677
is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
678
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
680
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
681
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
682
regardless of ``InterRepository``.

694
GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``. Debug
695
flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``. Lightweight checkouts and
696
stacked branches should both be much faster over remote connections.

Changes From 1.13.1 to 1.13.2
699
*****************************
701
A regression was found in the 1.13.1 release. When bzr 1.13.1 and earlier push
702
a stacked branch they do not take care to push all the parent inventories for
703
the transferred revisions. This means that a smart server serving that branch
704
often cannot calculate inventory deltas for the branch (because smart server
705
does not/cannot open fallback repositories). Prior to 1.13 the server did not
706
have a verb to stream revisions out of a repository, so that's why this bug has
712
* Fix for bug 354036 ErrorFromSmartServer - AbsentContentFactory object has no
713
attribute 'get_bytes_as' exception while pulling from Launchpad
714
(Jean-Francois Roy, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
716
Changes From 1.13final to 1.13.1
717
********************************
719
A couple regessions where found in the 1.13 release. The pyrex-generated C
720
extensions are missing from the .tar.gz and .zip files. Documentation on how
721
to generate GNU ChangeLogs is wrong.
726
* Change ``./bzr``'s ``_script_version`` to match ./bzrlib/__init__.py
727
version_info. (Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, #345232)
729
* Distribution archives for 1.13 do not contain generated C extension modules
730
(Jean-Francois Roy, Bob Tanner, #344465)
732
* GNU ChangeLog output can now be produced by bzr log --format gnu-changelog is
733
incorrect (Deejay, Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #343928)
735
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
737
Changes From 1.13rc1 to 1.13final
738
*********************************
740
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
741
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
742
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
744
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
745
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
750
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
751
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
752
command may need to be adjusted.
753
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
758
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
759
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
760
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
762
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
765
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
766
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
767
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
770
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
771
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
773
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
776
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
777
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
779
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernoij)
781
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
782
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
785
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
791
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
792
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
793
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
794
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
795
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
796
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
797
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
798
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
801
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
802
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
804
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
805
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
806
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
808
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
809
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
811
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
812
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
813
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
816
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
817
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
818
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
820
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
821
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
822
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
823
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
825
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
828
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
829
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
831
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
832
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
834
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
835
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
836
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
838
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
843
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
844
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
846
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
847
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
848
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
850
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
851
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
852
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
854
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
855
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
857
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
858
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
861
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
862
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
863
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
865
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
866
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
868
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
869
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
871
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
872
(James Westby, #174539)
874
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
875
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
877
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
878
error branching from old repositories.
879
(Martin Pool, #321695)
881
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
882
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
884
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
885
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
886
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
887
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
889
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
890
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko,
893
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
894
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
896
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
897
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
899
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
900
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
901
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
903
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
904
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
906
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.
907
(Benoît Pierre, Aaron Bentley)
912
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
913
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
914
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
917
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
918
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
920
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.
921
(Daniel Watkins, #327421, #327425)
926
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
927
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
928
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
929
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
930
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
932
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
933
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
935
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
936
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
937
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
938
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
939
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
940
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
942
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
943
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
945
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
946
"author" argument being deprecated.
948
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
950
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
951
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
952
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
953
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
955
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
956
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
957
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
959
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
960
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
961
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
963
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
964
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
966
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
967
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
968
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
969
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
974
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
975
free of virtual file system methods.
976
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
978
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
979
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
980
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
982
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
983
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
984
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
985
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
986
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
987
(Robert Collins, #334187)
989
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
991
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
992
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
994
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
995
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
996
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
997
stream the operation.
998
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1000
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
1001
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
1003
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
1004
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
1005
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
1006
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
1007
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
1009
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
1010
branch object. (Robert Collins)
1012
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
1013
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
1014
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
1016
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
1017
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
1020
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
1023
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
1024
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
1025
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1027
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
1028
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
1029
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1031
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
1032
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
1033
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1035
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
1036
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
1037
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1039
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
1040
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
1041
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
1042
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
1043
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
1045
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
1046
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
1047
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
1048
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
1049
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
1050
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
1052
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
1053
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
1054
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
1055
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
1056
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1058
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
1059
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1061
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
1062
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
1064
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
1065
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
1066
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
1067
to access private data in record to obtain content more
1068
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
1070
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
1071
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.

:1.12rc1: 2009-02-10
1082
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
1083
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
1084
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
1085
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
1086
by showing the rate of network IO.
1088
Changes from RC1 to Final
1089
*************************
1091
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
1092
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
1094
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
1095
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
1097
Compatibility Breaks
1098
********************
1100
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
1101
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
1102
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
1103
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
1105
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
1106
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
1107
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
1110
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
1111
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
1112
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
1113
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1115
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
1116
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
1117
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
1120
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1125
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
1126
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
1127
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
1130
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
1131
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
1132
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
1134
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
1135
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
1136
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
1137
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
1138
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
1139
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
1140
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
1141
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
1142
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
1148
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
1151
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
1154
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
1155
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
1156
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
1158
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
1159
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
1160
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
1161
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
1162
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
1164
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
1165
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
1167
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
1168
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
1169
level for better precision.
1172
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
1173
rules. (Marius Kruger)
1175
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
1176
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
1177
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
1179
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
1180
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
1181
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
1184
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
1185
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
1186
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
1191
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
1193
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
1195
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
1196
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
1197
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
1199
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
1200
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
1201
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
1202
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
1203
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
1204
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
1206
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
1207
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
1209
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
1210
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
1212
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
1213
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
1214
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
1216
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
1217
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
1218
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
1221
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
1222
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
1224
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
1225
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
1226
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
1227
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
1229
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
1230
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
1232
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1234
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)
1239
* Improved plugin developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
1244
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
1245
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
1248
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
1249
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1251
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
1252
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1254
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
1255
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1257
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
1258
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
1259
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
1260
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
1262
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
1263
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
1264
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
1269
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
1270
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
1271
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
1272
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
1273
compile buffers, are such an example).
1276
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
1277
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
1280
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
1281
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
1282
efficient way of doing the mapping.
1285
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
1286
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
1288
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
1289
formatters to retrict the output.

##############################
1296
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
1297
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
1298
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
1299
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
1300
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
1302
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
1303
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
1306
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
1307
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.
1312
* Fix failing test when CompiledChunksToLines is not available.
1315
* Stacked branches don't repeatedly open their transport connection.

#################################
1326
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
1327
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1332
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
1333
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
1335
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
1336
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
1337
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
1338
implement other plugins.
1341
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
1347
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
1348
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
1350
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
1351
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
1353
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
1354
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
1355
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
1356
processes which drag in shell extensions.
1359
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
1360
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
1361
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
1362
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
1363
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
1365
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
1366
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
1367
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
1368
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
1369
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
1374
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
1375
control directory. (#139691)
1377
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
1378
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
1380
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
1381
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
1383
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
1384
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
1385
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
1387
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
1388
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
1390
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
1391
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
1392
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
1394
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
1395
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
1397
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
1400
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
1401
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
1402
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
1404
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
1405
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
1407
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
1408
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
1409
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
1411
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
1412
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
1413
in the appropriate sections.
1414
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
1416
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
1417
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
1418
(John Arbash meinel)
1420
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
1421
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
1423
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
1424
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
1426
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
1427
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1429
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
1430
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
1431
work better with how it splits its requests.
1432
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
1434
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
1435
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
1436
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
1438
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
1441
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
1443
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
1444
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
1446
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
1452
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
1453
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
1454
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
1460
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
1461
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
1462
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
1463
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1465
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
1466
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
1468
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
1469
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
1470
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
1471
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
1473
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
1474
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
1475
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
1476
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
1481
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
1482
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
1483
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
1485
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
1486
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
1487
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
1488
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
1490
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
1491
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
1492
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
1498
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
1499
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
1500
(John Arbash Meinel)
1502
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
1503
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
1504
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
1505
(John Arbash Meinel)
1507
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
1508
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
1509
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
1510
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
1512
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
1513
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
1514
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
1516
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
1517
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
1518
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
1519
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
1521
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
1522
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
1523
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
1524
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
1525
(John Arbash Meinel)
1527
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
1528
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
1530
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
1531
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
1532
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
1534
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
1535
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
1536
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
1537
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
1539
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
1540
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
1541
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
1542
(John Arbash Meinel)
1544
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
1545
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
1546
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
1547
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
1548
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
1549
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
1550
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1552
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
1553
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)
1560
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
1561
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
1562
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
1563
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
1566
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
1571
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
1572
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
1573
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
1574
(Martin Pool, #303856)
1576
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
1577
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
1578
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
1579
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
1580
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)
1583
bzr 1.10rc1 2008-11-28

######################
1586
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
1587
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
1588
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
1589
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
1590
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
1595
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
1596
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1598
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
1604
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
1605
history just to set the last revision info.
1606
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1608
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
1609
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
1610
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
1611
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1613
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
1614
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
1615
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
1616
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
1617
(John Arbash Meinel)
1619
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
1620
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1622
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
1623
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
1624
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
1625
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
1626
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
1628
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
1629
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
1630
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
1631
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
1636
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
1637
(Martin Pool, #289148)
1639
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
1640
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
1642
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
1643
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
1644
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
1645
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
1647
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
1648
starting with a dotted revno.
1649
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
1651
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
1652
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
1653
(Martin Pool, #288751)
1655
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
1656
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
1657
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
1659
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
1660
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
1661
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
1663
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
1664
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
1665
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
1666
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
1668
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
1669
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
1670
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
1672
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
1673
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
1678
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
1679
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
1680
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
1681
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
1683
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
1684
have changed incompatibly.
1686
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
1687
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
1688
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
1689
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
1690
don't need to change.
1692
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
1693
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
1698
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
1699
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
1701
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
1707
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
1708
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
1709
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
1710
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
1711
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
1712
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
1717
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
1718
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
1720
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
1722
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
1723
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.

#####################
1733
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
1734
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
1736
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
1737
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
1738
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
1739
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
1744
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
1745
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
1746
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
1747
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
1748
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
1749
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
1751
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
1752
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1754
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
1755
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
1756
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
1758
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
1759
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
1760
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
1763
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
1764
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
1766
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
1767
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
1769
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
1770
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
1772
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
1773
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
1774
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
1775
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
1776
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
1777
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
1778
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
1779
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
1780
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
1781
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
1786
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
1787
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
1789
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
1790
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
1792
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
1793
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
1794
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
1796
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
1797
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
1798
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
1800
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
1801
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
1802
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
1804
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
1805
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
1806
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
1807
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
1808
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
1809
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
1811
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
1812
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
1814
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
1815
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
1817
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
1818
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
1819
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
1820
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
1821
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
1823
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
1824
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
1825
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
1826
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
1831
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
1836
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
1841
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
1842
configuration of authetication credentials.
1848
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
1849
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
1850
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
1851
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
1852
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
1857
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
1858
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
1863
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
1864
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
1867
bzr 1.8rc1 2008-10-07

#####################
1873
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
1874
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
1875
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
1876
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
1877
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
1879
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
1880
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
1882
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
1883
server. (Marius Kruger)
1885
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
1886
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
1887
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
1888
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
1889
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
1890
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
1895
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
1896
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
1897
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
1899
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
1904
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
1905
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
1906
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
1907
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
1909
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
1910
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
1913
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
1914
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
1917
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
1920
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
1922
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
1923
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
1925
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
1926
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
1928
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
1929
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
1930
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
1931
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
1932
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
1933
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
1934
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
1935
operations. (Robert Collins)
1937
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
1939
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
1940
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
1941
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
1946
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
1947
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
1948
(Martin Pool, #279381)
1950
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
1951
repository now preserves the repository format.
1952
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
1954
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
1955
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
1957
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
1958
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
1960
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
1962
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
1964
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
1967
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
1968
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
1969
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
1971
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
1972
is in a different repository than the current one.
1973
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
1975
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
1976
(David Futcher, #242106)
1978
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
1979
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1981
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
1982
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
1983
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
1984
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
1986
* Trivial documentation fix.
1987
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
1989
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
1990
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
1991
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
1992
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
1997
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
2002
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
2003
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
2004
to use. (Robert Collins)
2006
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
2007
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
2008
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
2010
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
2011
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
2012
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
2013
they want. (Robert Collins)
2018
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
2019
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
2020
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
2022
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
2023
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
2026
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
2029
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
2030
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
2032
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
2038
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
2039
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
2041
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
2042
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
2043
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
2045
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
2046
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
2047
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
2049
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
2050
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2052
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
2053
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
2055
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
2056
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
2058
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
2059
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
2060
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
2061
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept

2075
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
2076
file paths when we encounter complex history.
2081
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
2082
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
2083
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
2084
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.
2085
(John Arbash Meinel)
2091
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
2092
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
2093
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
2094
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
2095
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
2096
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.
2101

#####################
2109
A few bug fixes from 1.7rc1. The biggest change is a new

``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
2111
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
2112
connect to the stacked-on location.

to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
2124
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
2127
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.

bzr 1.7rc1 2008-09-09
2132
#####################
2134
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
2135
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
2136
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
2137
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
2138
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
2139
it in a future repository format.
2145
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
2148
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
2149
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
2150
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
2152
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
2153
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
2154
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
2159
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
2160
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
2162
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
2167
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
2168
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
2171
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
2172
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
2174
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
2175
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
2178
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
2179
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
2180
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
2181
(John Arbash Meinel)
2183
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
2184
(Martin Pool, #261315)
2186
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
2187
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
2188
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
2189
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
2190
(John Arbash Meinel)
2192
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
2193
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
2194
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
2195
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
2196
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
2197
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
2198
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
2199
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
2200
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
2201
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
2206
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
2207
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
2209
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
2210
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
2211
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
2213
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
2214
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
2215
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
2217
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
2218
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
2219
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
2220
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
2221
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
2222
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
2224
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
2225
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
2227
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
2228
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
2230
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
2231
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
2232
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
2233
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
2234
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
2235
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
2237
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
2238
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
2240
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
2241
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
2243
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
2244
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
2245
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
2246
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
2248
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
2249
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
2251
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
2252
assuming the host name is ascii.
2253
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
2255
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
2256
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
2261
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
2266
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
2268
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
2269
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
2270
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
2273
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
2274
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2276
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
2277
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
2279
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
2280
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
2285
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
2286
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
2287
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
2288
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
2290
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
2294
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
2295
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
2296
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2298
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
2304
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
2305
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
2308
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
2309
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
2310
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
2311
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
2312
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2314
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
2315
is unknown in both source and target.
2316
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
2318
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
2319
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
2320
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
2321
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2323
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
2324
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
2325
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
2326

A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
2333
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
2334
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.

2343
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
2344
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
2345
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
2346

#######################
2352
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
2353
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
2354
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
2355
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
2356
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
2357
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
2358
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
2359
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
2360
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
2361
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
2362
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
2363
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
2368
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
2369
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
2370
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
2371
start of the string (causing more copies).
2372
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
2373
especially for projects with large files.
2374
(John Arbash Meinel)
2376
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
2377
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
2378
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
2379
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
2380
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
2382
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
2383
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
2384
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
2385
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
2386
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.
2387
(John Arbash Meinel, #262333)
2393
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
2394
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
2395
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
2396
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
2397
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
2398
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
2399
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
2400
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
2401
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
2404
bzr 1.6rc5 2008-08-19
2405
#####################
2410
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
2411
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
2412
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
2413
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
2414
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
2417
bzr 1.6rc4 2008-08-18
2418
#####################
2423
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
2424
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
2425
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
2428
bzr 1.6rc3 2008-08-14
2429
#####################
2434
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
2435
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
2441
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
2442
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
2443
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
2449
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
2450
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
2451
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
2453
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
2454
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
2455
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
2456
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
2457
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
2458
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
2459
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
2462
bzr 1.6rc2 2008-08-13
2463
#####################
2465
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
2471
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
2472
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
2474
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
2475
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
2478
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
2479
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
2480
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
2481
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
2482
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
2484
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
2485
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2487
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
2488
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
2490
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
2491
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
2493
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
2494
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
2495
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
2496
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
2497
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
2498
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
2501
bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
2502
#####################
2504
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
2505
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
2506
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
2507
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
2508
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
2513
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
2514
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
2515
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
2520
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
2521
check. (Daniel Watkins)
2523
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
2524
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
2526
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
2527
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
2528
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2530
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
2533
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
2534
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
2535
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
2536
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
2537
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
2538
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
2539
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2541
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
2542
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
2543
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
2548
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
2549
physical repository boundaries.
2550
(Martin Pool, #252428)
2552
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
2553
(Martin Pool, #206258)
2555
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
2556
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
2559
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
2562
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
2563
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
2564
that Python is running from.
2565
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
2567
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
2568
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
2569
(Robert Collins, #150438)
2571
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
2572
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
2574
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
2575
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
2576
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
2578
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
2579
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
2581
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
2582
(James Westby, #248448)
2587
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
2588
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
2589
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
2592
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
2593
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
2596
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
2597
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
2598
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
2599
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
2600
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
2601
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
2604
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
2605
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2607
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
2608
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
2609
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
2610
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
2611
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
2612
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
2617
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
2618
putting together a real history without having to create a full
2619
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
2620
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
2621
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
2622
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2624
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
2625
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
2626
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
2628
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
2631
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
2632
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
2634
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.

#######################
2641
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
2642
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
2643
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
2644
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
2650
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
2651
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
2652
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
2654
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
2655
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
2656
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
2657
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
2658
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
2661
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
2663
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
2664
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
2665
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
2671
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
2672
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
2675
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
2676
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
2677
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
2678
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
2680
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
2681
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
2682
(Christophe Troestler)
2684
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
2685
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
2687
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
2688
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
2689
faster. The new request method name is
2690
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2695
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
2696
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
2697
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
2698
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
2699
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
2701
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
2702
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
2704
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
2705
requires a branch to be present.
2706
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
2708
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
2710
(Martin Pool, #205230)
2712
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
2713
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
2714
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
2715
(Martin Pool, #240161)
2717
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
2718
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
2720
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
2722
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
2724
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
2725
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
2726
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
2727
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
2728
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
2730
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
2731
(Martin Pool, #172870)
2733
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
2734
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
2736
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
2738
(Matt McClure, #209281)
2740
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
2741
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
2743
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
2744
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
2749
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
2752
* Updated developer documentation.
2758
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
2759
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
2761
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
2762
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
2763
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
2764
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
2769
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
2770
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
2771
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
2772
Repository docstring for more details.
2775
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
2776
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
2777
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
2779
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
2780
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
2783
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
2784
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
2785
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
2786
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
2791
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
2792
(Alexander Belchenko)
2794
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
2795
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
2796
containing a given location.
2799
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
2800
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
2801
storage. (Robert Collins)
2803
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
2806
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
2807
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.

#######################
2814
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
2815
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
2816
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
2822
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
2823
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
2824
reading from the repository.)
2825
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
2827
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
2828
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
2830
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
2831
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
2834
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
2835
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
2836
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
2838
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
2839
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
2840
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
2842
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
2843
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
2845
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
2846
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
2847
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
2848
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
2853
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
2855
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
2856
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
2857
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
2860
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
2861
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
2866
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2871
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
2872
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
2877
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
2878
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
2879
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
2880
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
2881
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
2883
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
2884
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
2889
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
2890
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
2892
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
2893
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)

Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
2900
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
2901
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
2902
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
2903
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
2904
and future extensions.
2907
Notes When Upgrading
2908
********************
2910
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
2911
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
2912
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
2913
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
2914
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
2915
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
2916
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
2917
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
2922
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
2923
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
2924
(John Arbash Meinel)
2929
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
2930
load. (James Westby)
2935
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
2936
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
2937
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
2938
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2940
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
2941
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
2942
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
2944
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
2945
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
2947
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
2948
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
2949
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
2951
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
2952
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
2953
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
2954
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
2955
step closer to not using full revision history.
2956
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
2961
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
2962
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
2964
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
2965
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
2967
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
2968
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
2970
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
2971
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
2972
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
2973
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
2975
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
2976
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
2977
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
2978
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
2980
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
2981
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
2982
in use by another process.
2985
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
2986
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
2987
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
2988
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
2990
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
2991
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
2993
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
2994
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
2995
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
2997
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
2998
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
2999
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
3001
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
3003
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
3005
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
3006
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
3008
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
3009
under vim on Mac OS X.
3010
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
3012
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
3013
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
3018
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
3019
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
3021
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
3022
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
3025
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
3026
and about use of Python reprs.
3027
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
3029
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
3034
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
3037
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
3038
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
3040
* New helper function for splitting test suites
3041
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
3046
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
3047
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
3048
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
3049
(John Arbash Meinel)
3054
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
3055
instead. (Martin Pool)
3057
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
3058
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
3059
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
3060
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
3062
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
3063
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
3064
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
3065
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
3066
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
3068
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
3069
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
3070
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
3071
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
3072
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
3073
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
3075
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
3076
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
3079
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
3080
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
3083
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
3084
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
3085
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
3086
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
3088
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
3089
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
3090
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
3092
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
3093
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
3094
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
3095
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
3096
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
3099
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
3100
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
3101
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
3102
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
3105
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
3106
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
3107
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
3108
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
3109
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
3111
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
3118
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
3119
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
3120
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
3125
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
3126
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
3127
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
3132
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
3133
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.

#####################
3143
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
3144
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
3145
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
3146
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
3151
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
3152
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
3154
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
3155
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
3157
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
3163
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
3164
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
3166
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
3167
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
3169
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
3170
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
3171
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
3173
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
3174
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
3175
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
3177
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
3180
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
3181
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
3183
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
3184
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
3186
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
3187
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
3189
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
3190
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
3192
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
3193
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
3194
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
3196
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
3197
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
3199
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
3200
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
3202
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
3203
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
3204
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
3205
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
3207
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
3208
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
3211
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
3212
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
3213
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
3215
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
3216
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
3217
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
3218
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
3219
every revision each side had in common.
3220
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3222
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
3223
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
3225
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
3226
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
3227
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
3228
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
3233
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
3234
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
3235
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
3236
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
3238
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
3240
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
3242
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
3243
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
3248
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
3249
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
3250
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
3252
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
3253
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
3254
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
3255
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
3257
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
3258
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3260
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
3261
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
3262
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
3263
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3265
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
3266
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
3267
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
3268
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
3273
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
3274
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
3275
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
3277
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
3279
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
3280
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
3282
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
3283
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3285
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
3286
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
3291
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
3292
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
3293
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
3295
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
3296
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
3297
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
3300
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
3301
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
3304
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.
3311
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
3312
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
3313
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
3314
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
3315
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
3316
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
3317
and faster performance.
3322
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
3323
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the

3358
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
3360
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
3361
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
3363
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
3364
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
3365
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
3367
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
3368
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
3369
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
3370
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
3371
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
3372
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
3375
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
3376
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
3377
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
3378
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
3383
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
3385
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
3386
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
3387
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
3389
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
3390
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
3391
See the User Reference for signature details.
3392
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
3394
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
3395
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
3400
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
3401
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
3402
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
3403
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3405
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
3406
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
3408
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
3409
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
3410
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
3413
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
3416
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
3417
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
3418
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
3420
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
3423
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
3424
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
3426
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
3427
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
3429
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
3430
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
3431
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
3433
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
3434
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
3435
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
3436
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
3437
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
3439
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
3440
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
3442
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
3443
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
3448
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
3449
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
3450
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
3451
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
3452
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
3453
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
3455
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
3456
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
3458
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
3459
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
3460

3462
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.

bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
3468
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3470
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
3471
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
3472
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
3473
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
3474
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)

* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
3498
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
3503
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
3504
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
3505
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
3507
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
3508
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
3509
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
3510
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
3512
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
3513
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
3514
release. (James Westby)
3516
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
3519
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
3521
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
3522
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
3524
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
3525
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
3527
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
3528
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
3530
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
3531
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
3532
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
3534
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
3535
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
3536
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
3537
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
3539
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
3540
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
3541
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
3542
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
3544
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
3545
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
3546
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
3547
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
3548
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
3549
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
3551
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
3552
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
3553
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
3555
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
3556
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
3558
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
3559
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
3562
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
3563
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
3565
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
3566
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
3568
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
3569
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
3571
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
3572
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
3573
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
3575
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
3576
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
3577
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
3578
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
3579
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
3580
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
3585
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
3586
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
3587
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
3588
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
3590
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
3591
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
3592
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
3593
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
3597
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
3598
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
3601
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
3602
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
3604
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
3606
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
3607
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
3608
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
3613
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3615
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
3618
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
3619
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
3620
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
3621
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
3622
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
3623
(Martin Pool, #109520)
3625
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
3626
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
3628
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
3629
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
3630
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
3631
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
3633
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
3634
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
3636
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
3637
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
3679
********************
3681
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
3682
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
3687
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
3688
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
3689
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
3690
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
3693
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
3694
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
3695
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
3696
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
3697
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
3698
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
3700
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
3701
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
3702
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
3703
(Alexander Belchenko)
3705
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
3707
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
3708
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
3713
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
3714
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
3716
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
3717
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
3723
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
3725
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3727
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
3728
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
3729
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
3731
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
3732
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
3734
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
3735
to. (Daniel Watkins)
3737
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
3738
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
3739
(Alexander Belchenko)
3741
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
3742
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
3743
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
3744
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
3746
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
3749
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
3750
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
3751
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
3752
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
3753
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
3758
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
3759
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
3760
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
3761
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
3763
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
3764
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
3766
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
3767
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
3769
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
3770
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
3771
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
3773
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
3774
(#198793, John Ferlito)
3776
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
3779
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
3780
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
3782
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
3784
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
3786
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
3787
symlinks (James Henstridge)
3789
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
3790
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
3792
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
3793
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
3795
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
3796
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
3798
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
3799
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
3801
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
3802
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
3807
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
3808
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
3813
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
3814
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
3815
(Alexander Belchenko)
3820
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
3822
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
3823
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
3829
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
3830
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
3831
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
3833
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
3834
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
3835
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
3836
(Alexander Belchenko)
3838
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
3839
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
3840
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
3841
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
3843
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
3844
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
3845
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
3848
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
3849
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
3850
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
3852
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
3853
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
3854
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
3856
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
3857
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
3858
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
3859
format. (Robert Collins)
3868
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)

3874
Notes When Upgrading
3875
********************
3877
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
3878
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
3879
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
3880
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
3881
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
3887
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
3888
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
3890
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
3891
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
3892
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
3894
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
3895
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
3896
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
3897
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
3898
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
3899
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
3905
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
3906
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3908
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
3909
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
3910
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
3913
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
3914
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
3915
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
3916
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
3917
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
3919
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
3920
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
3921
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
3922
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
3923
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
3924
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
3925
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
3926
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
3931
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
3932
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
3934
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
3935
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
3937
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
3938
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3940
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
3941
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
3942
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
3944
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
3945
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
3946
(John Arbash Meinel)
3951
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
3952
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
3954
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
3955
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
3957
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
3958
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
3960
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
3961
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
3962
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
3964
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
3965
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
3966
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
3968
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
3969
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
3971
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
3972
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
3973
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
3974
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
3975
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
3977
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
3979
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
3980
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
3983
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
3984
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
3986
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
3987
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
3989
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
3990
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
3992
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
3993
more characters which should be considered valid.
3994
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
3996
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
3997
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
3999
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
4000
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
4005
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
4006
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
4008
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
4009
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
4015
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
4016
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
4022
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
4023
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
4024
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
4026
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
4027
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
4028
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
4030
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
4031
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
4032
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
4033
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
4035
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
4037
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
4038
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
4039
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
4040
server. (Robert Collins)
4042
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
4043
operate. (Robert Collins)
4045
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
4046
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
4047
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
4049
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
4050
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
4051
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
4052
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
4054
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
4055
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
4057
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
4058
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
4059
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
4061
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
4062
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
4064
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
4065
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
4067
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
4068
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
4069
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
4070
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
4087
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
4089
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
4090
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
4091
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
4092
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
4097
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
4100
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
4103
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
4104
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
4109
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
4112
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
4113

4114
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
4116
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
4118
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
4119
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
4120
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
4121
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
4122
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
4124
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
4125
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
4126
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
4128
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
4129
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
4131
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
4134
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
4136
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
4138
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
4141
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
4142
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
4147
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.

* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
4156
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
4157
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
4159
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
4160
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
4162
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
4163
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4165
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
4166
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)

* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
4169
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
4170
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
4172
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
4173

4175
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
4176
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
4179
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
4181
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
4182
user:pass embedded in the urls.

4191
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
4194
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
4195
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
4197
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
4200
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
4201
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
4204
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
4205
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
4206
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
4211
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
4214
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
4215
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
4216
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
4217
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
4218
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
4219

* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
4234
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
4235
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
4236
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
4239
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
4240
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4242
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
4251
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
4252
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
4253
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
4255
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
4256
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
4259
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
4260
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
4262
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
4263
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
4265
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
4266
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
4268
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
4269
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
4270
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
4272
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
4273
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
4275
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
4276
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
4278
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
4279
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
4282
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
4283
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
4285
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
4286
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
4295
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
4297

4379
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the

Notes When Upgrading
4428
********************
4430
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
4431
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
4432
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
4433
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
4435
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
4436
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
4438
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
4439
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
4441
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
4442
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
4443
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
4444
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
4445
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
4446
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
4447
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
4448
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
4449
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
4450
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
4451
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
4452
from any tree without problems.
4453
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
4458
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
4459
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
4460
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
4462
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
4463
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
4469
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
4470
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
4471
supported transports.
4474
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
4475
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
4476
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
4478
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
4479
(Robert Collins, #154173)
4481
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
4482
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
4483
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
4484
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
4486
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
4487
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
4492
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
4493
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
4494
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
4495
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4497
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
4498
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
4499
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
4500
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
4502
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
4503
(Robert Collins, #88319)
4505
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
4506
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
4508
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
4509
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
4511
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
4512
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
4518
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
4521
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
4522
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
4525
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
4526
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
4527
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
4528
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
4530
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
4531
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
4532
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
4533
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
4541
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
4542
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
4544
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
4545
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
4547
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
4548
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
4550
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
4551
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
4553
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
4554
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
4556
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.

4559
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
4560
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
4562
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
4565
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
4566
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
4568
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
4569
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
4570
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
4572
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
4573
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
4575
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
4576
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
4578
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
4579
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
4581
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
4582
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
4584
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
4585
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
4586
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
4587
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
4589
(Martin Pool, #164637)
4591
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
4592
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
4593
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
4595
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
4596

* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
4600

4602
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
4603
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)

* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
4606
specify a port in urls.

* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
4622
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.

(Robert Collins, #165304).
4625
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
4627
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
4628
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
4630
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
4633
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
4634

4636
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
4637

4639
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
4640
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).

4643
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
4644
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
4646
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
4647
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
4648
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
4649
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
4651
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
4652
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
4654
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
4655
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
4656
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
4658
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
4659
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
4661
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
4662
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
4664
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
4665
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
4670
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
4671
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
4673
* The return value of
4674
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
4675
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
4676
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
4677
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
4679
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
4682
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
4683
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
4690
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
4691
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
4692
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
4695
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
4696
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)

since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
4724
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
4725
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
4726
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
4727
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
4728
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
4729
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
4730
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
4736
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
4737
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
4738
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
4739
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
4740
commands. (Robert Collins)
4742
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
4743
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
4744
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
4747
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
4749
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
4750
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
4752
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
4753
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
4756
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
4757
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
4758
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
4763
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
4764
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
4766
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
4767
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
4769
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
4770
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
4771
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
4772
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
4774
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
4777
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
4778
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
4779
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
4780
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
4782
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
4783
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
4785
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
4786
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
4788
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
4789
the contents. (Robert Collins)
4791
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
4792
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
4797
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
4798
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
4800
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
4801
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
4803
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
4804
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
4806
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
4807
(Martin Pool, #63894)
4809
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
4810
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
4815
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
4817
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
4823
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
4824
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
4825
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
4827
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
4828
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
4830
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
4831
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
4833
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
4834
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
4835
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
4836
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
4838
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
4839
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
4840
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
4841
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
4842
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
4844
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
4845
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
4847
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
4849
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
4851
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
4852
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
4854
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
4855
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
4857
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
4858
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
4860
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
4861
contains a symbolic link.
4862
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
4864
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
4865
(James Westby, #140615)
4867
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
4868
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
4869
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
4871
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
4872
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
4873
(Martin Pool, #144633)
4875
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4877
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
4878
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
4880
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
4882
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
4884
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
4885
directory to detect leaking tests.
4886
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
4888
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
4889
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
4890
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
4892
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
4895
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
4896
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
4898
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
4904
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
4905
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
4907
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
4908
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
4909
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
4911
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
4912
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
4913
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
4915
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
4916
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
4918
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
4919
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
4921
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
4922
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
4925
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
4926
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
4928
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
4929
class that needs it.
4932
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
4933
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
4935
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
4936
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
4937
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
4939
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
4940
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
4941
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
4944
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
4945
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
4946
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
4947
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
4953
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
4954
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
4955
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
4957
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
4958
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
4959
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
4960
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
4962
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
4963
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
4966
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
4967
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
4968
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
4970
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
4971
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
4972
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
4974
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
4975
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
4977
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
4978
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
4979
to complete. (Robert Collins)
4981
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
4982
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
4984
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
4985
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
4986
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
4988
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
4989
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
4990
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
4992
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
4993
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
4994
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
4995
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
4997
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
4998
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
4999
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
5000
returned. (Robert Collins)
5002
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
5003
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
5005
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
5006
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
5007
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
5008
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
5011
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
5012
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
5017
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
5018
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
5020
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
5021
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
5022
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
5023
makes this behavior available to other users.
5026
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
5027
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
5036
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
5037
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
5038
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
5040
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
5042
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
5043
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
5044
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
5045
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
5047
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
5048
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
5052
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
5053
######################
5055
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
5056
in bzrlib/remote.py.
5059
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
5060
######################
5065
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
5066
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
5067
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
5068
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
5071
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
5072
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
5073
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
5079
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
5080
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
5081
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
5084
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
5085
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
5086
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
5088
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
5089
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
5090
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
5092
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
5093
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
5095
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
5096
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
5097
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
5098
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
5099
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
5100
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
5101
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
5102
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
5103
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
5104
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
5106
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
5107
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
5109
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
5110
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
5111
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
5116
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
5117
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
5119
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
5120
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
5121
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
5123
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
5124
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
5126
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
5127
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
5129
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
5132
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
5133
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
5135
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
5136
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
5138
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
5139
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5141
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
5142
(Blake Winton, #129299)
5144
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
5146
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
5149
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
5150
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
5151
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
5152
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
5154
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5156
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
5157
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
5160
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
5161
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
5163
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
5164
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
5167
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
5168
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
5170
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
5171
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
5173
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
5174
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
5175
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
5176
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
5177
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
5178
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
5179
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
5181
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
5182
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
5184
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
5185
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
5187
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
5188
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
5190
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
5191
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
5193
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
5195
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
5197
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
5198
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
5200
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
5201
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
5202
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
5204
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
5205
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
5206
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
5211
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
5212
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
5214
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
5217
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
5220
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
5221
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
5223
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
5225
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
5226
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
5228
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
5229
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
5231
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
5232
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
5233
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
5234
space). (Robert Collins)
5236
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
5237
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
5240
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
5241
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5243
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
5244
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
5246
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
5247
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
5248
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
5249
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
5251
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
5252
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
5253
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
5256
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
5259
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
5260
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
5261
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
5263
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
5264
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
5265
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
5266
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
5267
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
5272
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
5273
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
5275
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
5276
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
5277
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
5278
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
5279
affected. (Robert Collins)
5281
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
5282
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
5283
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
5286
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
5287
previous release. (Martin Pool)
5292
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
5293
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
5295
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
5296
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5298
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
5299
previous release. (Martin Pool)
5301
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
5304
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
5305
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5310
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
5311
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
5312
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
5313
its version information. (Robert Collins)
5315
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
5316
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
5318
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
5319
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
5320
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
5321
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
5323
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
5324
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
5325
present. (Robert Collins)
5327
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
5328
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
5329
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
5330
API. (Robert Collins)
5332
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
5333
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
5336
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
5337
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
5339
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
5340
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
5341
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
5342
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
5343
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
5344
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
5346
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
5347
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
5348
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
5350
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
5351
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
5352
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
5353
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
5356
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
5359
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
5360
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
5361
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
5362
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
5363
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
5364
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
5365
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
5367
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
5368
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
5369
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
5370
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
5372
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
5373
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
5374
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
5375
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
5376
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
5377
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
5379
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
5380
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
5381
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
5383
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
5384
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
5393
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
5394
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
5395
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
5396
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
5397
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
5398
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
5399
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
5400
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
5406
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
5407
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
5408
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)

5417
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
5418
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
5419
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
5420
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.

5426
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
5428
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
5430
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
5431
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
5434
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
5435
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
5438
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
5441
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
5442
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
5444
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
5445
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
5447
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
5448
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
5450
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
5451
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
5453
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
5454
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
5456
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
5462
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
5463
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
5465
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
5466
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
5468
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
5469
the repository (Robert Collins)
5471
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
5472
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
5473
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
5474
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
5475
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
5477
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
5478
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
5480
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
5481
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
5482
(John Arbash Meinel)
5484
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
5485
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
5486
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
5488
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
5489
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
5490
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
5491
(John Arbash Meinel)
5493
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
5494
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
5497
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
5498
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
5500
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
5503
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
5505
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
5507
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
5508
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
5510
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
5511
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
5514
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
5515
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
5516
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
5517
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
5519
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
5520
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
5521
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
5523
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
5524
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
5525
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
5527
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
5528
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
5530
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
5531
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
5532
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
5533
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
5534
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
5535
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
5538
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
5539
(Alexander Belchenko)
5541
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
5542
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
5544
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
5545
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
5547
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
5549
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
5550
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
5555
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
5556
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
5557
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
5558
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
5560
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
5562
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
5565
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
5566
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
5567
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
5568
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
5569
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
5570
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
5575
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
5576
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
5577
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
5578
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
5580
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
5581
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
5582
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
5583
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
5584
tests have been refactored too.
5587
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
5588
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
5589
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
5593
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
5594
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
5595
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
5597
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
5598
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
5599
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
5600
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
5601
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
5602
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
5603
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
5605
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
5606
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
5607
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
5608
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
5609
(John Arbash Meinel)
5611
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
5612
functionality for testing.
5614
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
5616
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
5617
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
5619
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
5621
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
5624
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
5625
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
5627
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
5628
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
5629
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
5631
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
5634
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
5635
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
5637
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
5638
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
5639
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
5640
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
5642
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
5643
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
5645
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
5646
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
5647
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
5649
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
5652
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
5653
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
5654
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
5655
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
5656
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
5657
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
5659
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
5660
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
5661
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
5662
many files. (Robert Collins)
5664
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
5665
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
5666
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
5667
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
5672
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
5673
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
5674
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
5676
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
5677
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
5679
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
5680
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
5681
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
5747
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
5748
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
5749
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
5750
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree

5764
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
5765
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
5767
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
5768
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
5770
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
5771
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
5772
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
5773
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
5774
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
5776
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
5777
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.

Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
5780
can be slow it is useful feedback).

* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
5848
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5850
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
5852
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
5853
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
5854
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
5855
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
5856
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
5857
same location. (Robert Collins)
5862
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
5864
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
5866
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
5868
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
5871
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
5874
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
5875
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
5876
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
5878
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
5880
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
5881
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
5882
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
5884
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
5885
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
5887
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
5888
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
5889
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
5891
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
5892
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
5893
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
5895
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
5896
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
5897
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
5899
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
5900
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
5903
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
5904
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
5906
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
5907
(Alexander Belchenko)
5912
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
5913
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
5914
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
5915
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
5917
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
5918
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
5919
testing. (Robert Collins)
5921
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
5922
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
5924
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
5925
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
5926
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
5927
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
5928
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
5929
attribute during the test parameterisation in
5930
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
5932
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
5933
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
5934
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
5935
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
5937
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
5938
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
5940
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
5941
avoid useless cloning.

Notes When Upgrading
5962
********************
5964
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
5965
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
5966
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
5967
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
5968
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
5969
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
5970
and unlock() like so::
5972
work_tree.lock_read()
5974
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
5980
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
5981
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
5983
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
5984
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
5985
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
5987
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
5988
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
5989
too. (Robert Collins)
5994
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
5995
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
5998
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
5999
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
6001
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
6002
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
6004
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
6005
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
6006
understanding what changes have occurred
6007
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
6009
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
6010
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
6011
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
6013
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
6014
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
6015
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
6016
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
6018
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
6024
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
6025
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
6026
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
6027
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
6028
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
6030
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
6031
based on split paths, not just string paths.
6032
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
6034
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
6035
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
6037
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
6039
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
6041
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
6042
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
6044
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
6045
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
6047
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
6048
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
6050
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
6051
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
6053
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
6054
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
6056
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
6057
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
6058
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
6061
####################
6066
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
6067
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
6068
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
6069
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
6070
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
6072
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
6073
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
6074
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
6076
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
6077
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
6082
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
6083
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
6084
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
6086
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
6087
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
6088
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
6089
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
6091
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
6092
#######################
6097
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
6098
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
6099
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
6100
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
6102
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
6103
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
6104
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
6106
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
6107
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
6109
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
6110
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
6112
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
6113
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

Notes When Upgrading
6119
********************
6121
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
6122
it could be recovered again.
6123
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
6124
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
6125
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
6127
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
6129
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
6130
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
6135
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
6136
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
6138
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
6139
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
6140
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
6141
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
6143
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
6144
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
6146
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
6147
tests with names that match that regular expression.
6148
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
6150
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
6151
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
6152
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
6154
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
6155
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
6156
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
6158
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
6159
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
6162
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
6165
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
6166
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
6167
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
6168
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
6170
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
6173
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
6174
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
6175
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
6178
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
6179
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
6181
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
6182
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
6184
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
6185
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
6186
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
6187
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
6190
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
6191
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
6193
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
6194
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
6196
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
6197
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
6198
(Robert Collins, #107125).
6200
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
6201
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
6202
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
6204
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
6205
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
6206
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
6208
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
6209
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
6210
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
6211
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
6213
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
6214
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
6215
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
6216
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
6218
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
6219
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
6220
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
6221
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
6222
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
6223
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
6224
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
6225
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
6232
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
6233
code paths. (Robert Collins)
6235
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
6236
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
6237
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
6238
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
6239
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
6241
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
6242
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
6244
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
6245
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
6247
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
6248
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
6250
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
6251
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
6253
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
6254
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
6255
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
6258
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
6259
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
6260
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
6261
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
6262
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
6265
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
6266
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
6267
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
6269
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
6270
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
6273
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
6274
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
6275
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
6278
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
6279
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
6280
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
6281
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
6282
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
6284
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
6285
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
6286
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
6287
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
6289
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
6290
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
6292
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
6293
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
6294
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
6295
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
6296
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
6297
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
6299
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
6300
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
6302
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
6303
help. (Robert Collins)
6305
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
6306
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
6308
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
6309
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
6310
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
6311
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
6312
(John Arbash Meinel)
6314
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
6315
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
6316
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
6317
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
6318
useful. (Robert Collins)
6320
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
6326
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
6327
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
6329
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
6330
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
6332
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
6333
properly and is no longer beneficial.
6334
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
6336
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
6339
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
6340
the file, and does it faster.
6341
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
6343
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
6344
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
6345
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
6347
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
6348
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
6349
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
6350
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
6352
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
6353
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
6354
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
6355
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
6357
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
6358
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
6360
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
6361
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
6362
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
6363
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
6366
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
6368
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
6369
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
6371
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
6372
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
6374
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
6375
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
6376
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
6377
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
6381
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
6382
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
6387
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
6388
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
6389
in running it. (Robert Collins)
6391
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
6392
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
6394
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
6395
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
6396
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
6397
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
6398
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
6399
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
6400
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
6401
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
6403
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
6404
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
6405
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
6407
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
6408
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
6409
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
6410
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
6411
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
6413
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
6415
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
6416
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
6417
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
6419
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
6420
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
6429
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
6432
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
6433
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
6436
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26

#######################
6442
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
6443
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
6449
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
6450
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
6451
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
6452
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
6453
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
6454
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
6455
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
6456
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
6462
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
6463
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
6464
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
6466
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
6467
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
6470
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
6471
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
6472
(John Arbash Meinel)
6474
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
6475
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
6476
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
6477
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
6478
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
6483
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
6486
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
6487
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
6489
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
6490
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
6492
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
6493
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
6494
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
6496
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
6497
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
6499
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
6500
last-changed-revision for directories. The
6501
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
6502
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
6503
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
6505
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
6506
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
6507
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
6509

Notes When Upgrading
6516
********************
6518
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
6519
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
6520
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
6525
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
6526
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
6528
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
6529
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
6531
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
6533
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
6534
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
6536
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
6537
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
6542
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
6548
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
6549
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
6550
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
6551
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
6553
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
6554
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
6556
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
6557
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
6559
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
6562
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
6563

6566
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
6567
#######################
6572
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
6573
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
6574
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
6575
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
6576
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
6577
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
6579
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
6580
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
6581
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
6582
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
6583
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
6584
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
6586
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
6588
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
6589
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
6590
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
6591
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
6592
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
6593
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
6594
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
6595
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
6600
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
6601
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
6603
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
6604
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
6605
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
6606
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
6608
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
6609
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
6610
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
6611
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
6612
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
6614
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
6617
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
6620
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
6623
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
6624
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
6627
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
6630
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
6631
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
6633
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
6634
directory. (Martin Pool)
6636
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
6637
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
6638
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
6639
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
6641
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
6642
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
6643
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
6644
in docs/configuration.txt.
6646
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
6647
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
6650
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
6651
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
6652
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
6653
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
6654
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
6655
repositories. (Martin Pool)
6657
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
6658
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
6660
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
6661
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
6663
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
6669
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
6670
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
6671
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
6672
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
6673
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
6674
(John Arbash Meinel)
6676
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
6677
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
6680
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
6681
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
6682
(John Arbash Meinel)
6684
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
6685
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
6686
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
6687
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
6688
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
6689
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
6691
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
6692
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
6693
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
6695
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
6696
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
6697
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
6698
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
6700
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6702
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
6703
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
6704
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
6705
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
6707
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
6708
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
6709
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
6710
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
6712
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
6713
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
6714
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
6716
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
6717
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
6718
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
6720
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
6721
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
6722
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
6723
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
6725
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
6726
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
6727
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
6729
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
6730
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
6731
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
6733
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
6734
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
6735
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
6736
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
6737
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
6738
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
6739
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
6740
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
6741
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
6742
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
6743
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
6748
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
6749
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
6750
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
6752
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
6755
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
6756
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
6757
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
6758
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
6760
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
6761
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
6764
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
6765
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
6767
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
6769
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
6770
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
6771
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
6773
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
6774
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
6776
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
6777
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
6779
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
6780
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)

6794

6809
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
6810

6823
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
6824
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
6825
server, then you can write over the http connection.
6826
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
6828
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
6831
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
6832
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
6833
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
6835
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
6836
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
6838
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
6841
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
6842
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
6843
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
6844
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
6845
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
6846
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
6848
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
6849
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
6850
should enable you to do::
6852
[/home/user/project]
6853
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
6854
push_location:policy = appendpath
6856
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
6857
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
6860
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
6861
for each file. For example::
6863
$ bzr status --short
6869
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
6870
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
6872
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
6874
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
6875
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
6877
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
6882
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
6883
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
6884
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
6885
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
6887
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
6888
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
6889
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
6891
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
6893
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
6894
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
6895
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
6896
(Alexander Belchenko)
6898
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
6901
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
6902
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
6904
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
6909
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
6910
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
6912
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
6913
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
6914
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
6915
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
6916
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
6918
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
6919
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
6921
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
6922
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
6924
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
6926
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
6928
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
6929
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
6930
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
6931
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
6932
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
6934
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
6935
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
6936
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
6937
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)

(Daniel Silverstone)
6977
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
6978
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
6979
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
6980
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
6982
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
6985
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
6986
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
6987
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
6988
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
6989
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
6990
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
6995
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
6996
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
6999
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
7000
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
7001
(John Arbash Meinel)
7003
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
7004
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
7005
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
7006
(John Arbash Meinel)
7008
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
7009
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
7011
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
7012
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
7014
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
7015
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
7021
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
7022
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
7023
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
7025
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
7026
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
7027
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
7028
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
7030
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
7032
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
7033
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
7035
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
7036
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
7037
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
7038
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
7040
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
7041
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
7042
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
7044
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
7045
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
7046
them as full references rather than integers.
7047
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
7049
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
7050
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
7052
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
7054
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
7055
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
7057
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
7058
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
7060
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
7061
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
7062
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
7063
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
7065
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
7066
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
7067
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
7069
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
7070
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
7072
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
7073
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
7074
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
7075
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
7076
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
7081
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
7082
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

#######################
7100
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
7101
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
7102
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
7103
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
7105
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
7106
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
7108
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
7110
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
7111
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
7112
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
7113
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
7115
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
7116
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
7117
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
7118
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
7119
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
7124
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
7125
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
7130
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
7131
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
7132
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
7134
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
7135
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
7136
(John Arbash Meinel)
7138
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
7139
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
7140
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
7142
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
7143
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
7146
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
7147
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
7148
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
7150
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
7151
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
7152
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
7153
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
7154
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
7155
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
7157
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
7158
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
7159
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
7162
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
7163
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
7168
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
7169
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
7170
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
7173
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
7174
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
7176
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
7177
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
7178
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
7180
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
7181
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
7183
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
7184
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
7185
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
7186
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
7188
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
7189
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
7191
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
7192
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
7193
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
7195
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
7196
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
7198
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
7200
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
7201
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
7207
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
7208
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
7209
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
7210
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
7212
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
7213
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
7214
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)

#######################
7238
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
7239
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
7240
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
7241
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
7242
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
7243
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
7244
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
7246
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
7247
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
7248
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
7250
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
7252
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
7253
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
7255
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
7256
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
7257
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
7260
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
7261
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
7262
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
7263
(John Arbash Meinel)
7265
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
7266
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
7267
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
7268
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
7271
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
7272
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
7273
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
7274
(John Arbash Meinel)
7279
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
7280
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
7282
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
7284
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
7285
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
7286
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
7288
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
7289
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
7291
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
7292
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
7294
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
7295
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
7297
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
7298
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
7300
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
7302
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
7303
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
7305
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
7306
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
7308
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
7309
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
7311
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
7312
(John Arbash Meinel)
7314
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
7315
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
7316
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
7318
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
7319
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
7321
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
7322
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
7323
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
7324
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
7326
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
7327
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
7328
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
7330
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
7331
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
7336
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
7341
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
7342
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
7343
(John Arbash Meinel)
7345
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
7346
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
7347
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
7348
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
7350
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
7353
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
7354
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
7355
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
7357
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
7358
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
7360
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
7361
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
7362
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
7364
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
7365
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
7366
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
7367
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
7368
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
7369
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
7370
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
7371
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
7372
caller to repeat their request.
7373
(John Arbash Meinel)
7375
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
7376
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
7378
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
7379
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
7381
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
7382
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
7383
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
7384
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
7385
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
7386
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
7387
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
7389
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
7390
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
7391
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
7392
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
7393
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
7394
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
7395
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
7396
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
7399
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
7400
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
7401
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
7403
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
7404
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
7406
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
7407
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
7409
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
7410
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
7415
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
7416
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
7418
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
7419
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
7420
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
7422
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
7423
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
7424
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
7427
####################
7431
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
7432
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
7434
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
7435
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
7436
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
7437
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
7438
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
7440
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
7441
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
7442
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
7444
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
7445
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
7447
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
7448
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
7449
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
7454
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
7456
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
7457
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.

* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
7462
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
7464
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
7465
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
7466
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
7467
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
7469
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
7470
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
7471
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
7472
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
7473
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
7475
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
7476
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)

7479
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
7481
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
7482
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
7484
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
7485
in handling of revision properties.
7486
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
7488
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
7489
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
7494
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
7495
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
7496
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
7497
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
7498
(John Arbash Meinel)
7500
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
7501
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
7502
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)

#####################
7510
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
7511
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
7512
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
7513
specific one '.bzrignore'.
7514
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
7515
a more conservative list than the old default.
7516
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
7517
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
7518
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
7519
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
7521
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
7522
to more locations than just branch locations.
7528
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
7529
revno:N:branch. For example,
7530
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
7531
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
7533
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
7534
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
7535
the path of a file that has been versioned.
7536
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
7537
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
7538
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
7539
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
7540
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
7543
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
7544
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
7545
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
7548
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
7549
(Alexander Belchenko)
7551
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
7553
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
7556
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
7557
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
7558
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
7559
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
7560
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
7561
(John Arbash Meinel)
7563
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
7564
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
7565
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
7566
grained analysis of performance.
7567
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
7569
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
7570
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
7572
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
7573
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
7574
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
7575
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
7576
file. (Robert Collins).
7578
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
7579
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
7580
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
7582
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
7583
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
7586
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
7587
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
7589
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
7590
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
7591
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
7592
the same way you would apply another branch.
7593
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
7595
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
7596
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
7598
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
7601
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
7604
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
7605
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
7606
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
7608
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
7609
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
7610
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
7612
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
7613
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
7615
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
7616
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
7617
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
7618
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
7619
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
7621
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
7622
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
7624
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
7625
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
7626
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
7627
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
7628
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
7629
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
7630
branch is as much as 4x faster.
7631
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
7633
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
7634
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
7635
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
7640
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
7642
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
7644
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
7645
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
7647
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
7648
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
7650
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
7651
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
7653
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
7655
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
7656
(John Arbash Meinel)
7658
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
7659
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
7661
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
7662
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
7665
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
7666
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
7668
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
7669
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
7671
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
7672
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
7673
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
7674
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
7676
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
7677
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
7679
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
7681
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
7682
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
7684
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
7686
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
7688
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
7689
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
7691
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
7692
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
7694
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
7695
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
7696
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
7698
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
7699
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
7700
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
7702
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
7703
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
7705
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
7706
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
7708
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
7709
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
7711
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
7712
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
7714
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
7715
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
7717
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
7718
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
7719
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
7721
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
7723
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
7724
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
7729
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
7730
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
7731
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
7733
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
7734
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
7736
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
7737
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
7738
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
7740
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
7741
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
7743
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
7744
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
7747
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
7748
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
7749
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
7751
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
7752
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
7753
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
7755
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
7756
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
7757
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
7759
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
7760
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
7761
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
7763
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
7764
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
7765
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
7767
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
7768
instead. (Robert Collins)
7770
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

7837
Notes When Upgrading
7838
********************
7840
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
7841
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
7842
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
7843
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
7844
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
7845
will keep the same format.
7847
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
7848
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
7849
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
7850
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
7851
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
7853
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
7854
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
7855
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
7856
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
7857
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
7858
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
7859
indicating the current revision of the branch.
7861
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
7862
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
7863
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
7864
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
7865
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
7867
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
7868
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
7869
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
7876
* sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
7877
convention. Paths now take the form::
7879
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
7881
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
7883
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
7884
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
7886
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
7887
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
7888
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
7890
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
7891
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
7892
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
7893
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
7895
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
7896
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
7897
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
7899
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
7901
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
7903
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
7904
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
7907
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
7908
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
7911
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
7913
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
7914
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
7915
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
7918
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
7920
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
7922
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
7925
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
7926
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
7928
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
7929
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
7932
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
7933
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
7936
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
7938
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
7940
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
7941
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
7943
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
7944
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
7945
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
7946
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
7947
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
7948
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
7950
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
7952
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
7953
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
7956
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
7957
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
7959
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
7960
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
7962
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
7964
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
7965
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
7966
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
7967
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
7968
specification by Martin Pool.
7969
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
7971
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
7974
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
7975
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
7977
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
7978
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
7979
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
7981
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
7983
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
7984
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
7990
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
7991
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
7993
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
7995
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
7997
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
8000
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
8001
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
8002
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
8003
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
8008
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
8009
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
8010
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
8011
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
8013
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
8014
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
8015
tried. (Martin Pool)
8017
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
8020
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
8022
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
8023
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
8024
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
8026
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
8027
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
8029
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
8030
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
8031
paths. (Robert Collins)
8033
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
8034
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
8035
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
8037
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
8038
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
8039
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
8041
* Progress bars are now nested - see
8042
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
8043
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
8045
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
8048
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
8051
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
8053
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
8055
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
8056
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
8057
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
8060
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
8061
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
8063
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
8064
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
8065
check. (Robert Collins)
8067
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
8068
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
8073
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
8074
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
8076
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
8077
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
8078
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
8079
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
8081
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
8082
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
8083
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
8084
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
8085
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
8087
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
8088
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
8089
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
8091
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
8093
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
8094
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
8102
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
8103
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
8105
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
8106
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
8107
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
8110
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
8111
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
8113
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
8114
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
8115
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
8116
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
8117
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
8119
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
8120
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
8121
used. (Robert Collins)
8123
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
8124
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
8127
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
8128
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
8129
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
8131
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
8134
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
8135
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
8140
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
8141
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
8143
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
8145
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
8147
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
8148
tree. (Robert Collins)
8150
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
8151
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
8152
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
8155
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
8158
* Tweaks to short log printing
8160
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
8163
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
8164
occurs. (Martin Pool)
8166
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
8167
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
8169
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
8170
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
8172
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
8173
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
8174
settings. (Magnus Therning)
8176
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
8177
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
8179
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
8180
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
8183
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
8184
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
8186
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
8187
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
8189
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
8190
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
8192
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
8195
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
8196
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
8198
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
8199
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
8201
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
8202
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
8203
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
8208
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
8210
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
8212
* Error when run with -OO
8214
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
8217
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
8219
* Change status to 3 for all errors
8221
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
8222
ignored by diff and status
8224
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
8225
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
8227
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
8229
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
8231
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
8232
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
8234
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
8235
email address. (Marien Zwart)
8237
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
8240
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
8241
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
8243
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
8245
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
8246
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
8248
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
8251
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
8252
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
8254
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
8259
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
8260
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
8262
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
8264
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
8266
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
8268
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
8269
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
8270
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
8272
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
8274
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
8275
(John Arbash Meinel)
8277
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
8279
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
8280
If adding a new test script please add that to
8281
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
8283
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
8284
imported. (Martin Pool)
8286
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
8287
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
8288
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
8289
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
8290
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
8293
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
8294
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
8295
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
8297
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
8298
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
8299
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
8301
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
8302
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
8303
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
8304
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
8305
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
8308
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
8309
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
8315
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
8316
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
8318
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
8319
function. (Robert Collins)
8321
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
8322
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
8323
if needed). (Robert Collins)
8325
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
8326
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
8329
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
8330
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
8331
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
8332
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
8333
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
8334
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
8335
version. (Robert Collins)
8337
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
8338
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
8340
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
8341
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
8342
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
8343
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
8344
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
8345
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
8347
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
8350
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
8360
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
8362
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
8364
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
8367
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
8368
query method. (Robert Collins)
8370
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
8373
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
8376
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
8379
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
8380
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
8381
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
8382
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
8384
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
8385
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
8386
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
8387
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
8389
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
8390
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
8398
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
8401
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
8405
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
8406
a separator, not ':'.
8409
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
8410
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
8411
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
8413
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
8414
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
8417
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
8418
has been added that suppresses all output.
8420
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
8423
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
8424
Goffredo Baroncelli.
8426
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
8427
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
8429
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
8430
a revision. (Robert Collins)
8432
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
8433
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
8434
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
8435
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
8437
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
8439
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
8440
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
8442
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
8443
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
8445
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
8446
output directory, if one was supplied.
8448
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
8449
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
8450
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
8451
parameters. (Robert Collins)
8453
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
8455
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
8456
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
8458
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
8459
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
8460
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
8462
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
8463
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
8465
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
8468
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
8470
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
8475
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
8476
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
8477
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
8479
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
8480
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
8481
related questions. (Robert Collins)
8483
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
8484
is given. (Martin Pool)
8486
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
8487
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
8488
file. (Robert Collins)
8490
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
8496
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
8497
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
8498
representation. (Martin Pool).
8500
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
8501
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
8502
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
8504
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
8507
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
8508
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
8511
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
8512
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
8513
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
8514
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
8515
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
8517
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
8518
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
8519
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
8520
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
8521
python path. (Robert Collins)
8523
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
8524
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
8525
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
8526
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
8528
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
8529
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
8531
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
8532
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
8535
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
8536
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
8537
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
8539
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
8540
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
8541
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
8543
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
8544
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
8546
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
8547
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
8548
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
8551
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
8552
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
8553
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
8554
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
8557
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
8560
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
8561
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
8564
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
8565
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
8566
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
8568
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
8569
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propagate as normal.
8570
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
8572
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
8573
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
8574
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
8576
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
8577
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
8579
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
8580
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
8581
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
8582
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
8583
caller. (Robert Collins)
8585
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
8586
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
8589
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
8590
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
8593
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
8595
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
8596
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
8601
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
8602
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
8604
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
8605
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

####################
8614
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
8615
allow directories to be listed.
8617
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
8618
upgrading branch format.
8623
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
8632
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
8633
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
8634
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
8635
high-latency connections.
8640
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
8643
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
8644
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
8646
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
8647
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
8648
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
8649
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
8651
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
8652
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
8654
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
8655
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
8657
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
8658
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
8659
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
8661
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
8662
for files with only a change to their executable status.
8663
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
8666
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
8667
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
8669
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
8670
different partial views of history.
8672
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
8673
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
8678
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
8679
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
8680
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.

* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
8683
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
8686
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
8687
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
8689
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
8692
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
8693
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
8695
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
8696
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
8697
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
8698
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
8700
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
8702
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
8703
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
8706
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
8707
Contributed by Robert Collins.
8709
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
8710
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
8711
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
8717
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
8718
for your viewing pleasure.
8720
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
8721
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
8723
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
8724
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
8725
handling of such circumstances.
8727
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
8728
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
8729
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
8731
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
8733
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
8734
we call them revisions not patches.
8736
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
8737
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
8739
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
8740
giving the revision *of that file*.
8742
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
8743
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
8744
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
8749
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
8750
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
8752
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
8753
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``

* Fixed "branch -r" option.
8764
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
8767
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
8769
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
8771
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
8772
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
8777
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
8778
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
8780
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
8781
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
8782
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
8783
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by

8795
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)

####################
8804
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
8805
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
8806
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
8807
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
8810
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
8813
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
8814
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
8815
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
8816
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
8817
for the operating system is still tried.
8819
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
8820
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
8821
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
8827
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
8832
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
8834
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
8837

8855
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
8856
help with intelligent shell completion.
8858
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
8864
* Much better merge support.
8866
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
8867
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
8874
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
8875
mention revisions that are not present.
8877
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
8879
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
8881
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
8882
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
8888
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
8890
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
8891
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle

* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
8899
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by

8910
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
8911
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
8913
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
8915
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
8916
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
8918
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
8921
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
8923
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
8926
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
8927
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
8929
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
8930
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
8931
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
8937
* Faster working tree operations.
8943
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
8944
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
8945
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
8946
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
8948
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
8949
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
8950
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
8951
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
8952
standard plugins directory.
8954
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
8955
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
8956
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
8957
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
8959
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
8960
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
8962
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
8965
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
8966
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
8967
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
8969
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
8970
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
8972
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
8973
line options must come before the command name because they
8974
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
8975
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
8978
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
8980
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
8981
is available with ``--short``.
8987
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.

#####################
8996
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
8997
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
8999
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
9000
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
9001
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
9002
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
9004
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
9005
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
9006
with the ``--forward`` option.
9008
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
9009
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
9016
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
9017
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
9019
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
9021
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
9022
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
9024
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
9026
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
9027
either read or write mode.
9029
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
9031
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
9034
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
9036
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
9037
suggested by LarstiQ.
9039
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
9040
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
9042
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
9045
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
9046
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
9048
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
9049
haven't changed since the previous time.
9051
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
9052
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
9054
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
9056
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
9058
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
9059
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
9061
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
9062
options through to an external GNU diff.
9064
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
9067
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
9074
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
9075
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
9077
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
9084
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
9085
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
9088
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
9089
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
9091
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
9092
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
9094
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
9095
under a different version.
9097
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
9103
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
9105
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
9106
Scott James Remnant.
9108
* Better help messages for many commands.
9110
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
9111
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
9113
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
9114
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
9116
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
9118
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
9120
* New AtomicFile class.
9122
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
9128
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
