.. contents:: List of Releases
15
* Display prompt on stderr (instead of stdout) when querying users so
16
that the output of commands can be safely redirected.
17
(Vincent Ladeuil, #376582)
23
* ``--development7-rich-root`` is a new dev format, similar to ``--dev6``
24
but using a Revision serializer using bencode rather than XML.
25
(Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
27
* mail_client=claws now supports --body (and message body hooks). Also uses
28
configured from address. (Barry Warsaw)
35
* ``--development6-rich-root`` can now stack. (Modulo some smart-server
36
bugs with stacking and non default formats.)
37
(John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
39
* ``--development6-rich-root`` delays generating a delta index for the
40
first object inserted into a group. This has a beneficial impact on
41
``bzr commit`` since each committed texts goes to its own group. For
42
committing a 90MB file, it drops peak memory by about 200MB, and speeds
43
up commit from 7s => 4s. (John Arbash Meinel)
45
* Numerous operations are now faster for huge projects, i.e. those
46
with a large number of files and/or a large number of revisions,
47
particularly when the latest development format is used. These
48
operations (and improvements on OpenOffice.org) include:
50
* branch in a shared repository (2X faster)
51
* branch --no-tree (100X faster)
57
* Pyrex version of ``bencode`` support. This provides optimized support
58
for both encoding and decoding, and is now found at ``bzrlib.bencode``.
59
``bzrlib.utils.bencode`` is now deprecated.
60
(Alexander Belchenko, Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
66
* Bazaar can now pass attachment files to the mutt email client.
67
(Edwin Grubbs, #384158)
69
* Better message in ``bzr add`` output suggesting using ``bzr ignored`` to
70
see which files can also be added. (Jason Spashett, #76616)
72
* ``bzr serve`` on Windows no longer displays a traceback simply because a
73
TCP client disconnected. (Andrew Bennetts)
75
* Clarify the rules for locking and fallback repositories. Fix bugs in how
76
``RemoteRepository`` was handling fallbacks along with the
77
``_real_repository``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #375496)
79
* Fix a small bug with fetching revisions w/ ghosts into a new stacked
80
branch. Not often triggered, because it required ghosts to be part of
81
the fetched revisions, not in the stacked-on ancestry.
84
* Fix problem of "directory not empty" when contending for a lock over
85
sftp. (Martin Pool, #340352)
87
* Reconcile can now deal with text revisions that originated in revisions
88
that are ghosts. (Jelmer Vernooij, #336749)
90
* Support cloning of branches with ghosts in the left hand side history.
91
(Jelmer Vernooij, #248540)
93
* The ''bzr diff'' now catches OSError from osutils.rmtree and logs a
94
helpful message to the trace file, unless the temp directory really was
95
removed (which would be very strange). Since the diff operation has
96
succeeded from the user's perspective, no output is written to stderr
97
or stdout. (Maritza Mendez, #363837)
99
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
100
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
101
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
102
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
110
* Added osutils.parent_directories(). (Ian Clatworthy)
112
* ``bzrlib.progress.ProgressBar``, ``ChildProgress``, ``DotsProgressBar``,
113
``TTYProgressBar`` and ``child_progress`` are now deprecated; use
114
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` instead. (Martin Pool)
116
* ``graph.StackedParentsProvider`` is now a public API, replacing
117
``graph._StackedParentsProvider``. The api is now considered stable and ready
118
for external users. (Gary van der Merwe)
120
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is deprecated in favor of
121
``get_user_encoding``. (Alexander Belchenko)
123
* TreeTransformBase no longer assumes that limbo is provided via disk.
124
DiskTreeTransform now provides disk functionality. (Aaron Bentley)
129
* Remove ``weave.py`` script for accessing internals of old weave-format
130
repositories. (Martin Pool)
135
* The number of cores is now correctly detected on OSX. (John Szakmeister)
137
* The number of cores is also detected on Solaris and win32. (Vincent Ladeuil)
139
* The number of cores is also detected on FreeBSD. (Matthew Fuller)
148
The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming content
149
with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search. New command ``bzr
150
dpush``. Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two
151
revisions introduce the exact same line.
153
Changes from 1.15final to 1.15.1
154
*********************************
156
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
157
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
158
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
159
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
161
Changes from 1.15rc1 to 1.15final
162
*********************************
169
* ``bzr ls`` is no longer recursive by default. To recurse, use the
170
new ``-R`` option. The old ``--non-recursive`` option has been removed.
171
If you alias ``ls`` to ``ls -R``, you can disable recursion using
172
``--no-recursive`` instead. (Ian Clatworthy)
177
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
178
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
181
* The new development format ``--development6-rich-root`` now supports
182
stacking. We chose not to use a new format marker, since old clients
183
will just fail to open stacked branches, the same as if we used a new
184
format flag. (John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
186
* Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two revisions
187
introduce the exact same line. See ``bzrlib.annotate._break_annotation_tie``
188
Be aware though that this is temporary, private (as indicated by the leading
189
'_') and a first step to address the problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #348459)
191
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
192
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
195
* ``bzr send`` will now check the ``child_submit_format`` setting in
196
the submit branch to determine what format to use, if none was
197
specified on the command-line. (Jelmer Vernooij)
202
* -Dhpss output now includes the number of VFS calls made to the remote
203
server. (Jonathan Lange)
205
* ``--coverage`` works for code running in threads too.
206
(Andrew Bennets, Vincent Ladeuil)
208
* ``bzr pull`` now has a ``--local`` option to only make changes to the
209
local branch, and not the bound master branch.
210
(Gary van der Merwe, #194716)
212
* ``bzr rm *`` is now as fast as ``bzr rm * --keep``. (Johan Walles, #180116)
217
* Adding now works properly when path contains a symbolic link.
218
(Geoff Bache, #183831)
220
* An error is now raised for unknown eol values. (Brian de Alwis, #358199)
222
* ``bzr merge --weave`` will now generate a conflict if one side deletes a
223
line, and the other side modifies the line. (John Arbash Meinel, #328171)
225
* ``bzr reconfigure --standalone`` no longer raises IncompatibleRepositories.
226
(Martin von Gagern, #248932)
228
* ``bzr send`` works to send emails again using MAPI.
229
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #346998)
231
* Check for missing parent inventories in StreamSink. This prevents
232
incomplete stacked branches being created by 1.13 bzr:// and
233
bzr+ssh:// clients (which have bug #354036). Instead, the server now
234
causes those clients to send the missing records. (Andrew Bennetts)
236
* Correctly handle http servers proposing multiple authentication schemes.
237
(Vincent Ladeuil, #366107)
239
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
240
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
242
* Fix a bug in the pure-python ``GroupCompress`` code when handling copies
243
longer than 64KiB. (John Arbash Meinel, #364900)
245
* Fix TypeError in running ``bzr break-lock`` on some URLs.
246
(Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #365891)
248
* Non-recursive ``bzr ls`` now works properly when a path is specified.
249
(Jelmer Vernooij, #357863)
251
* ssh usernames (defined in ~/.ssh/config) are honoured for bzr+ssh connections.
252
(Vincent Ladeuil, #367726)
254
* Several bugs related to unicode symlinks have been fixed and the test suite
255
enhanced to better catch regressions for them. (Vincent Ladeuil)
257
* The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming
258
content with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search: it assumes
259
that the client will make sure it is happy with what it got, and this
260
sort of mismatch is normal for stacked environments.
261
bzr 1.13.0/1 will stream from unstacked branches only - in that case not
262
getting all the content expected would be a bug. However the graph
263
search is how we figured out what we wanted, so a mismatch is both odd
264
and unrecoverable without starting over, and starting over will end up
265
with the same data as if we just permitted the mismatch. If data is
266
gc'd, doing a new search will find only the truncated data, so sending
267
only the truncated data seems reasonable. bzr versions newer than this
268
will stream from stacked branches and check the stream to find missing
269
content in the stacked-on branch, and thus will handle the situation
270
implicitly. (Robert Collins, #360791)
272
* Upgrading to, or fetching into a 'rich-root' format will now correctly
273
set the root data the same way that reconcile does.
274
(Robert Collins, #368921)
276
* Using unicode Windows API to obtain command-line arguments.
277
(Alexander Belchenko, #375934)
285
* ``InterPackRepo.fetch`` and ``RepoFetcher`` now raise ``NoSuchRevision``
286
instead of ``InstallFailed`` when they detect a missing revision.
287
``InstallFailed`` itself has been deleted. (Jonathan Lange)
289
* Not passing arguments to ``bzrlib.commands.main()`` will now grab the
290
arguments from ``osutils.get_unicode_argv()`` which has proper support
291
for unicode arguments on windows. Further, the supplied arguments are now
292
required to be unicode strings, rather than user_encoded strings.
293
(Alexander Belchenko)
298
* ``bzrlib.branch.Branch.set_parent`` is now present on the base branch
299
class and will call ``_set_parent_location`` after doing unicode
300
encoding. (Robert Collins)
302
* ``bzrlib.remote.RemoteBranch._set_parent_location`` will use a new verb
303
``Branch.set_parent_location`` removing further VFS operations.
306
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir._get_config`` now returns a ``TransportConfig``
307
or similar when the dir supports configuration settings. The base class
308
defaults to None. There is a matching new server verb
309
``BzrDir.get-config_file`` to reduce roundtrips for getting BzrDir
310
configuration. (Robert Collins)
312
* ``bzrlib.tests.ExtendedTestResult`` has new methods ``startTests``
313
called before the first test is started, ``done`` called after the last
314
test completes, and a new parameter ``strict``. (Robert Collins)
316
* ``-Dhpss`` when passed to bzr will cause a backtrace to be printed when
317
VFS operations are started on a smart server repository. This should not
318
occur on regular push and pull operations, and is a key indicator for
319
performance regressions. (Robert Collins)
321
* ``-Dlock`` when passed to the selftest (e.g. ``bzr -Dlock selftest``) will
322
cause mismatched physical locks to cause test errors rather than just
323
reporting to the screen. (Robert Collins)
325
* Fallback ``CredentialStore`` instances registered with ``fallback=True``
326
are now be able to provide credentials if obtaining credentials
327
via ~/.bazaar/authentication.conf fails. (Jelmer Vernooij,
328
Vincent Ladeuil, #321918)
330
* New hook ``Lock.lock_broken`` which runs when a lock is
331
broken. This is mainly for testing that lock/unlock are
332
balanced in tests. (Vincent Ladeuil)
334
* New MergeDirective hook 'merge_request_body' allows hooks to supply or
335
alter a body for the message produced by ``bzr send``.
337
* New smart server verb ``BzrDir.initialize_ex`` which implements a
338
refactoring to the core of clone allowing less round trips on new
339
branches. (Robert Collins)
341
* New method ``Tags.rename_revisions`` that can rename revision ids tags
342
are pointing at. (Jelmer Vernooij)
344
* Updated the bundled ``ConfigObj`` library to 4.6.0 (Matt Nordhoff)
349
* ``bzr selftest`` will now fail if lock/unlock are not correctly balanced in
350
tests. Using ``-Dlock`` will turn the related failures into warnings.
351
(Vincent Ladeuil, Robert Collins)
355
:Codename: brisbane-core
361
New formats 1.14 and 1.14-rich-root supporting End-Of-Line (EOL) conversions,
362
keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin) and generic content filtering.
363
End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting content
366
Changes from 1.14final to 1.14.1
367
********************************
369
* Change api_minimum_version back to api_minimum_version = (1, 13, 0)
371
Changes from 1.14rc2 to 1.14final
372
*********************************
374
* Fix a bug in the pure-python ``GroupCompress`` code when handling copies
375
longer than 64KiB. (John Arbash Meinel, #364900)
377
Changes from 1.14rc1 to 1.14rc2
378
*******************************
380
* Fix for bug 358037 Revision not in
381
bzrlib.groupcompress.GroupCompressVersionedFiles (Brian de Alwis,
384
* Fix for bug 354036 ErrorFromSmartServer - AbsentContentFactory object has no
385
attribute 'get_bytes_as' exception while pulling from Launchpad
386
(Jean-Francois Roy, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
388
* Fix for bug 355280 eol content filters are never loaded and thus never
389
applied (Brian de Alwis, Ian Clatworthy)
391
* bzr.dev -r4280 Change _fetch_uses_deltas = False for CHK repos until we can
392
write a better fix. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins)
394
* Fix for bug 361574 uncommit recommends undefined --levels and -n options
395
(Marius Kruger, Ian Clatworthy)
397
* bzr.dev r4289 as cherrypicked at lp:~spiv/bzr/stacking-cherrypick-1.14
398
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
403
* A previously disabled code path to accelerate getting configuration
404
settings from a smart server has been reinstated. We think this *may*
405
cause a incompatibility with servers older than bzr 0.15. We intend
406
to issue a point release to address this if it turns out to be a
407
problem. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
409
* bzr no longer autodetects nested trees as 'tree-references'. They
410
must now be explicitly added tree references. At the commandline, use
411
join --reference instead of add. (Aaron Bentley)
413
* The ``--long`` log format (the default) no longer shows merged
414
revisions implicitly, making it consistent with the ``short`` and
415
``line`` log formats. To see merged revisions for just a given
416
revision, use ``bzr log -n0 -rX``. To see every merged revision,
417
use ``bzr log -n0``. (Ian Clatworthy)
422
* New formats ``1.14`` and ``1.14-rich-root`` supporting End-Of-Line
423
(EOL) conversions, keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin)
424
and generic content filtering. These formats replace the experimental
425
``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root`` formats
426
respectively, but have support for filtered views disabled.
429
* New ``mv --auto`` option recognizes renames after they occur.
432
* ``bzr`` can now get passwords from stdin without requiring a controlling
433
terminal (i.e. by redirecting stdin). (Vincent Ladeuil)
435
* ``bzr log`` now supports filtering of multiple files and directories
436
and will show changes that touch any of them. Furthermore,
437
directory filtering now shows the changes to any children of that
438
directory, not just the directory object itself.
439
(Ian Clatworthy, #97715)
441
* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the
442
shelf, via the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
444
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
447
* ``bzr xxx --usage`` where xxx is a command now shows a usage
448
message and the options without the descriptive help sections
449
(like Description and Examples). A message is also given
450
explaining how to see the complete help, i.e. ``bzr help xxx``.
453
* Content filters can now be used to provide custom conversion
454
between the canonical format of content (i.e. as stored) and
455
the convenience format of content (i.e. as created in working
456
trees). See ``bzr help content-filters`` for further details.
457
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
459
* End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting
460
content filtering. See ``bzr help eol`` for details.
463
* Newly-blessed `join` command allows combining two trees into one.
469
* A new format name alias ``default-rich-root`` has been added and
470
points at the closest relative of the default format that supports
471
rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
473
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
474
the data when the target repository does not need topological
475
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
476
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
477
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
479
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
480
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
483
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
484
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
485
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
487
* ``bzr log`` now has ``--include-merges`` as an alias for ``--levels 0``.
490
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
493
* IPv6 literals are accepted in URLs.
494
(stlman, Martin Pool, Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
496
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
497
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
499
* Prompt for user names if they are not in the configuration.
500
(Jelmer Vernooij, #256612)
502
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server
503
now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
506
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
507
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
508
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
510
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
511
to "Ignoring files outside view. View is .." to reduce confusion
512
about what was being considered and what was being ignored.
515
* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
516
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
517
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
518
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
520
* The ``brisbane-core`` project has delivered its beta format
521
``development6-rich-root``. This format is suitable for judicious
522
testing by early adopters. In particular if you are benchmarking bzr
523
performance please be sure to test using this format. At this stage
524
more information is best obtained by contacting the Bazaar mailing list
525
or IRC channel if you are interested in using this format. We will make
526
end user documentation available closer to blessing the format as
527
production ready. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Ian Clatworthy,
528
Vincent Ladeuil, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
530
* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!
536
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
537
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
538
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
539
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
540
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
541
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
542
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
544
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
545
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
547
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
548
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
549
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
550
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
552
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log
553
-m``. (Anne Mohsen, Martin Pool)
555
* ``bzr split`` now says "See also: join" (Aaron Bentley, #335015)
557
* ``bzr version-info`` now works in empty branches. (Jelmer Vernooij,
560
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
561
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
562
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
564
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
565
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
567
* Fix 'make check-dist-tarball' failure by converting paths to unicode when
568
needed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355454)
570
* Fixed "Specified file 'x/y/z' is outside current view: " occurring
571
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
572
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
574
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
575
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
576
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
577
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
579
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
581
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
582
(Vincent Ladeuil, #346593)
584
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
585
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
586
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
587
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
588
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
590
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
591
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
592
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
593
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
594
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
595
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
596
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
598
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX. Several minor issues (mostly
599
test related) have been fixed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355273).
601
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
602
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
605
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
606
(James Westby, #341558)
608
* The help for the ``info`` command has been corrected.
609
(Ian Clatworthy, #351931)
611
* Upgrade will now use a sensible default format if the source repository
612
uses rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #252908)
617
* Expanded the index of the developer documentation. (Eric Siegerman)
619
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
621
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.
622
(James Westby, #336998)
627
* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous versions of bzr are now removed.
630
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
631
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
634
* New abstract ``UIFactory`` method ``get_username`` which will be called to
635
obtain the username to use when connecting to remote machines.
638
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
639
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
640
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
642
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
643
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
644
Meinel, Robert Collins)
646
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
647
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
648
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
649
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
652
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
653
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
656
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
659
* The ``Serializer`` class and the serializer ``format registry`` have moved
660
from ``bzrlib.xml_serializer`` to ``bzrlib.serializer``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
662
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
663
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
664
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
665
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
667
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
668
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
669
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
674
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
675
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
676
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
677
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
678
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
680
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
681
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
683
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
684
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
685
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
686
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
692
* Added ``chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string maps.
693
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
695
* Added ``bzrlib.chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string
696
maps. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
698
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
699
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
700
streaming on the the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
702
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
703
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
704
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
705
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
707
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
708
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
709
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
710
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
712
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
713
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
714
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
716
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
717
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
718
dependency. (Robert Collins)
720
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
721
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
722
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
724
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
725
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
728
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
729
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
730
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
732
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
733
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
735
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
736
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
737
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
739
* New hook ``RioVersionInfoBuilder.revision``, allowing extra entries
740
to be added to the stanza that is printed for a particular revision.
743
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
744
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
745
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
747
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
748
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
749
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
750
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
751
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
753
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
754
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
755
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
756
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
758
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
759
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
760
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
761
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
763
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
764
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
765
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
767
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
768
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
771
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
772
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
773
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
775
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
776
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
777
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
778
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
779
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
781
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
782
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only linux
783
machine work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,
786
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
787
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
788
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
789
desired. (Robert Collins)
791
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include
792
information about ghosts when the special revision ``include-missing:``
793
is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
794
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
796
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
797
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
798
regardless of ``InterRepository``.
799

810
GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``. Debug
811
flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``. Lightweight checkouts and
812
stacked branches should both be much faster over remote connections.
814
Changes From 1.13.1 to 1.13.2
815
*****************************
817
A regression was found in the 1.13.1 release. When bzr 1.13.1 and earlier push
818
a stacked branch they do not take care to push all the parent inventories for
819
the transferred revisions. This means that a smart server serving that branch
820
often cannot calculate inventory deltas for the branch (because smart server
821
does not/cannot open fallback repositories). Prior to 1.13 the server did not
822
have a verb to stream revisions out of a repository, so that's why this bug has
828
* Fix for bug 354036 ErrorFromSmartServer - AbsentContentFactory object has no
829
attribute 'get_bytes_as' exception while pulling from Launchpad
830
(Jean-Francois Roy, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
832
Changes From 1.13final to 1.13.1
833
********************************
835
A couple regessions where found in the 1.13 release. The pyrex-generated C
836
extensions are missing from the .tar.gz and .zip files. Documentation on how
837
to generate GNU ChangeLogs is wrong.
842
* Change ``./bzr``'s ``_script_version`` to match ./bzrlib/__init__.py
843
version_info. (Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, #345232)
845
* Distribution archives for 1.13 do not contain generated C extension modules
846
(Jean-Francois Roy, Bob Tanner, #344465)
848
* GNU ChangeLog output can now be produced by bzr log --format gnu-changelog is
849
incorrect (Deejay, Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #343928)
851
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
853
Changes From 1.13rc1 to 1.13final
854
*********************************
856
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
857
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
858
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
860
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
861
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
866
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
867
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
868
command may need to be adjusted.
869
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
874
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
875
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
876
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
878
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
881
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
882
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
883
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
886
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
887
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
889
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
892
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
893
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
895
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernoij)
897
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
898
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
901
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
907
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
908
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
909
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
910
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
911
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
912
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
913
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
914
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
917
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
918
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
920
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
921
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
922
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
924
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
925
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
927
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
928
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
929
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
932
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
933
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
934
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
936
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
937
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
938
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
939
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
941
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
944
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
945
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
947
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
948
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
950
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
951
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
952
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
954
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
959
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
960
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
962
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
963
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
964
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
966
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
967
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
968
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
970
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
971
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
973
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
974
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
977
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
978
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
979
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
981
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
982
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
984
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
985
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
987
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
988
(James Westby, #174539)
990
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
991
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
993
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
994
error branching from old repositories.
995
(Martin Pool, #321695)
997
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
998
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
1000
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
1001
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
1002
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
1003
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1005
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
1006
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko,
1009
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
1010
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
1012
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
1013
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
1015
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
1016
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
1017
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1019
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
1020
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
1022
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.
1023
(Benoît Pierre, Aaron Bentley)
1028
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
1029
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
1030
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
1033
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
1034
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
1036
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.
1037
(Daniel Watkins, #327421, #327425)
1042
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
1043
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
1044
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
1045
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
1046
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
1048
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
1049
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1051
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
1052
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
1053
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
1054
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
1055
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
1056
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
1058
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
1059
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
1061
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
1062
"author" argument being deprecated.
1064
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
1066
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
1067
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
1068
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
1069
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
1071
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
1072
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
1073
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
1075
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
1076
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
1077
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
1079
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
1080
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
1082
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
1083
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
1084
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
1085
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
1090
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
1091
free of virtual file system methods.
1092
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1094
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
1095
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
1096
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
1098
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
1099
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
1100
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
1101
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
1102
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
1103
(Robert Collins, #334187)
1105
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
1107
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
1108
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
1110
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
1111
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
1112
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
1113
stream the operation.
1114
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1116
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
1117
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
1119
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
1120
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
1121
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
1122
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
1123
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
1125
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
1126
branch object. (Robert Collins)
1128
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
1129
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
1130
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
1132
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
1133
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
1136
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
1139
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
1140
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
1141
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1143
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
1144
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
1145
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1147
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
1148
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
1149
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1151
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
1152
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
1153
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1155
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
1156
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
1157
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
1158
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
1159
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
1161
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
1162
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
1163
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
1164
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
1165
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
1166
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
1168
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
1169
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
1170
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
1171
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
1172
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1174
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
1175
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1177
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
1178
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
1180
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
1181
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
1182
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
1183
to access private data in record to obtain content more
1184
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
1186
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
1187
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.

1198
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
1199
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
1200
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
1201
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
1202
by showing the rate of network IO.
1204
Changes from RC1 to Final
1205
*************************
1207
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
1208
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
1210
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
1211
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
1213
Compatibility Breaks
1214
********************
1216
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
1217
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
1218
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
1219
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
1221
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
1222
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
1223
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
1226
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
1227
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
1228
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
1229
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1231
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
1232
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
1233
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
1236
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1241
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
1242
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
1243
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
1246
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
1247
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
1248
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
1250
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
1251
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
1252
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
1253
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
1254
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
1255
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
1256
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
1257
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
1258
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
1264
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
1267
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
1270
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
1271
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
1272
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
1274
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
1275
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
1276
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
1277
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
1278
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
1280
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
1281
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
1283
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
1284
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
1285
level for better precision.
1288
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
1289
rules. (Marius Kruger)
1291
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
1292
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
1293
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
1295
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
1296
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
1297
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
1300
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
1301
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
1302
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
1307
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
1309
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
1311
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
1312
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
1313
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
1315
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
1316
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
1317
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
1318
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
1319
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
1320
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
1322
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
1323
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
1325
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
1326
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
1328
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
1329
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
1330
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
1332
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
1333
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
1334
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
1337
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
1338
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
1340
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
1341
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
1342
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
1343
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
1345
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
1346
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
1348
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1350
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)
1355
* Improved plugin developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
1360
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
1361
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
1364
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
1365
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1367
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
1368
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1370
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
1371
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1373
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
1374
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
1375
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
1376
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
1378
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
1379
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
1380
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
1385
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
1386
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
1387
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
1388
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
1389
compile buffers, are such an example).
1392
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
1393
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
1396
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
1397
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
1398
efficient way of doing the mapping.
1401
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
1402
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
1404
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
1405
formatters to retrict the output.

##############################
1412
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
1413
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
1414
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
1415
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
1416
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
1418
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
1419
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
1422
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
1423
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.
1428
* Fix failing test when CompiledChunksToLines is not available.
1431
* Stacked branches don't repeatedly open their transport connection.
1432
(John Arbash Meinel)
1436
bzr 1.11rc1 "Eyes up!" 2009-01-09
1437
#################################
1442
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
1443
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1448
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
1449
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
1451
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
1452
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
1453
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
1454
implement other plugins.
1457
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
1463
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
1464
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
1466
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
1467
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
1469
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
1470
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
1471
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
1472
processes which drag in shell extensions.
1475
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
1476
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
1477
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
1478
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
1479
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
1481
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
1482
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
1483
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
1484
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
1485
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
1490
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
1491
control directory. (#139691)
1493
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
1494
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
1496
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
1497
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
1499
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
1500
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
1501
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
1503
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
1504
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
1506
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
1507
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
1508
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
1510
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
1511
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
1513
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
1516
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
1517
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
1518
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
1520
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
1521
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
1523
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
1524
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
1525
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
1527
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
1528
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
1529
in the appropriate sections.
1530
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
1532
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
1533
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
1534
(John Arbash meinel)
1536
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
1537
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
1539
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
1540
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
1542
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
1543
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1545
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
1546
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
1547
work better with how it splits its requests.
1548
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
1550
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
1551
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
1552
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
1554
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
1557
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
1559
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
1560
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
1562
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
1568
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
1569
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
1570
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
1576
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
1577
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
1578
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
1579
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1581
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
1582
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
1584
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
1585
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
1586
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
1587
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
1589
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
1590
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
1591
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
1592
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
1597
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
1598
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
1599
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
1601
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
1602
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
1603
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
1604
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
1606
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
1607
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
1608
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
1614
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
1615
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
1616
(John Arbash Meinel)
1618
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
1619
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
1620
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
1621
(John Arbash Meinel)
1623
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
1624
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
1625
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
1626
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
1628
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
1629
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
1630
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
1632
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
1633
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
1634
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
1635
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
1637
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
1638
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
1639
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
1640
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
1641
(John Arbash Meinel)
1643
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
1644
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
1646
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
1647
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
1648
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
1650
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
1651
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
1652
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
1653
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
1655
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
1656
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
1657
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
1658
(John Arbash Meinel)
1660
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
1661
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
1662
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
1663
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
1664
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
1665
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
1666
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1668
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
1669
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)
1676
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
1677
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
1678
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
1679
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
1682
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
1687
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
1688
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
1689
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
1690
(Martin Pool, #303856)
1692
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
1693
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
1694
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
1695
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
1696
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)
1699

1700
######################
1702
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
1703
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
1704
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
1705
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
1706
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
1711
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
1712
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1714
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
1720
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
1721
history just to set the last revision info.
1722
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1724
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
1725
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
1726
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
1727
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1729
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
1730
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
1731
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
1732
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
1733
(John Arbash Meinel)
1735
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
1736
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1738
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
1739
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
1740
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
1741
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
1742
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
1744
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
1745
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
1746
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
1747
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
1752
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
1753
(Martin Pool, #289148)
1755
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
1756
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
1758
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
1759
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
1760
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
1761
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
1763
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
1764
starting with a dotted revno.
1765
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
1767
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
1768
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
1769
(Martin Pool, #288751)
1771
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
1772
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
1773
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
1775
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
1776
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
1777
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
1779
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
1780
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
1781
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
1782
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
1784
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
1785
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
1786
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
1788
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
1789
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
1794
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
1795
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
1796
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
1797
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
1799
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
1800
have changed incompatibly.
1802
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
1803
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
1804
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
1805
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
1806
don't need to change.
1808
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
1809
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
1814
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
1815
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
1817
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
1823
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
1824
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
1825
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
1826
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
1827
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
1828
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
1833
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
1834
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
1836
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
1838
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
1839
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.

#####################
1849
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
1850
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
1852
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
1853
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
1854
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
1855
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
1860
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
1861
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
1862
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
1863
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
1864
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
1865
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
1867
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
1868
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1870
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
1871
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
1872
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
1874
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
1875
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
1876
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
1879
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
1880
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
1882
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
1883
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
1885
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
1886
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
1888
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
1889
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
1890
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
1891
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
1892
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
1893
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
1894
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
1895
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
1896
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
1897
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
1902
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
1903
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
1905
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
1906
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
1908
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
1909
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
1910
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
1912
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
1913
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
1914
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
1916
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
1917
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
1918
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
1920
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
1921
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
1922
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
1923
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
1924
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
1925
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
1927
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
1928
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
1930
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
1931
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
1933
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
1934
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
1935
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
1936
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
1937
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
1939
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
1940
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
1941
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
1942
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
1947
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
1952
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
1957
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
1958
configuration of authetication credentials.
1964
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
1965
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
1966
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
1967
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
1968
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
1973
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
1974
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
1979
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
1980
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
1983
bzr 1.8rc1 2008-10-07

#####################
1989
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
1990
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
1991
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
1992
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
1993
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
1995
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
1996
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
1998
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
1999
server. (Marius Kruger)
2001
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
2002
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
2003
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
2004
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
2005
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
2006
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
2011
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
2012
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
2013
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
2015
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
2020
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
2021
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
2022
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
2023
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
2025
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
2026
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
2029
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
2030
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
2033
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
2036
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
2038
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
2039
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
2041
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
2042
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
2044
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
2045
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
2046
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
2047
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
2048
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
2049
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
2050
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
2051
operations. (Robert Collins)
2053
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
2055
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
2056
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
2057
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
2062
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
2063
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
2064
(Martin Pool, #279381)
2066
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
2067
repository now preserves the repository format.
2068
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
2070
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
2071
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
2073
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
2074
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
2076
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
2078
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
2080
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
2083
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
2084
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
2085
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
2087
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
2088
is in a different repository than the current one.
2089
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
2091
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
2092
(David Futcher, #242106)
2094
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
2095
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2097
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
2098
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
2099
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
2100
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
2102
* Trivial documentation fix.
2103
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
2105
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
2106
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
2107
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
2108
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
2113
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
2118
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
2119
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
2120
to use. (Robert Collins)
2122
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
2123
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
2124
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
2126
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
2127
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
2128
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
2129
they want. (Robert Collins)
2134
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
2135
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
2136
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
2138
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
2139
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
2142
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
2145
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
2146
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
2148
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
2154
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
2155
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
2157
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
2158
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
2159
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
2161
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
2162
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
2163
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
2165
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
2166
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2168
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
2169
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
2171
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
2172
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
2174
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
2175
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
2176
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
2177
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept

2191
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
2192
file paths when we encounter complex history.
2197
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
2198
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
2199
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
2200
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.

2207
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
2208
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
2209
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
2210
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
2211
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
2212
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.

#####################
2250
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
2251
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
2252
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
2253
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
2254

2255

2261
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
2264
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
2265
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
2266
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
2268
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
2269
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
2270
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
2275
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
2276
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
2278
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
2283
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
2284
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
2287
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
2288
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
2290
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
2291
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
2294
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
2295
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
2296
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
2297
(John Arbash Meinel)
2299
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
2300
(Martin Pool, #261315)
2302
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
2303
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
2304
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
2305
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
2306
(John Arbash Meinel)
2308
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
2309
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
2310
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
2311
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
2312
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
2313
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
2314
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
2315
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
2316
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
2317
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
2322
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
2323
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
2325
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
2326
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
2327
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
2329
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
2330
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
2331
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
2333
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
2334
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
2335
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
2336
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
2337
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
2338
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
2340
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
2341
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
2343
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
2344
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
2346
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
2347
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
2348
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
2349
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
2350
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
2351
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
2353
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
2354
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
2356
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
2357
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
2359
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
2360
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
2361
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
2362
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
2364
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
2365
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
2367
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
2368
assuming the host name is ascii.
2369
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
2371
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
2372
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
2377
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
2382
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
2384
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
2385
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
2386
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
2389
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
2390
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2392
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
2393
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
2395
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
2396
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
2401
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
2402
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
2403
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
2404
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
2406
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
2410
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
2411
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
2412
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2414
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
2420
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
2421
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
2424
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
2425
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
2426
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
2427
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
2428
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2430
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
2431
is unknown in both source and target.
2432
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
2434
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
2435
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
2436
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
2437
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2439
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
2440
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
2441
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
2442
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

####################
2448
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
2449
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
2450
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
2453
bzr 1.6.1rc2 2008-09-03
2454
#######################
2459
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
2460
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
2461
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
2462
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
2465
bzr 1.6.1rc1 2008-08-29
2466
#######################
2468
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
2469
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
2470
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
2471
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
2472
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
2473
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
2474
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
2475
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
2476
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
2477
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
2478
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
2479
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
2484
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
2485
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
2486
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
2487
start of the string (causing more copies).
2488
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
2489
especially for projects with large files.
2490
(John Arbash Meinel)
2492
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
2493
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
2494
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
2495
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
2496
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
2498
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
2499
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
2500
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
2501
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
2502
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.
2503
(John Arbash Meinel, #262333)
2509
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
2510
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
2511
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
2512
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
2513
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
2514
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
2515
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
2516
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
2517
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
2520
bzr 1.6rc5 2008-08-19
2521
#####################
2526
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
2527
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
2528
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
2529
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
2530
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
2533
bzr 1.6rc4 2008-08-18
2534
#####################
2539
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
2540
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
2541
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
2544
bzr 1.6rc3 2008-08-14
2545
#####################
2550
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
2551
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
2557
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
2558
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
2559
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
2565
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
2566
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
2567
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
2569
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
2570
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
2571
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
2572
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
2573
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
2574
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
2575
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
2578
bzr 1.6rc2 2008-08-13
2579
#####################
2581
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
2587
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
2588
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
2590
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
2591
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
2594
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
2595
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
2596
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
2597
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
2598
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
2600
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
2601
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2603
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
2604
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
2606
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
2607
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
2609
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
2610
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
2611
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
2612
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
2613
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
2614
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
2617
bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
2618
#####################
2620
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
2621
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
2622
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
2623
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
2624
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
2629
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
2630
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
2631
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
2636
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
2637
check. (Daniel Watkins)
2639
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
2640
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
2642
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
2643
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
2644
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2646
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
2649
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
2650
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
2651
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
2652
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
2653
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
2654
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
2655
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2657
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
2658
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
2659
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
2664
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
2665
physical repository boundaries.
2666
(Martin Pool, #252428)
2668
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
2669
(Martin Pool, #206258)
2671
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
2672
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
2675
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
2678
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
2679
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
2680
that Python is running from.
2681
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
2683
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
2684
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
2685
(Robert Collins, #150438)
2687
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
2688
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
2690
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
2691
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
2692
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
2694
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
2695
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
2697
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
2698
(James Westby, #248448)
2703
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
2704
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
2705
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
2708
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
2709
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
2712
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
2713
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
2714
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
2715
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
2716
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
2717
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
2720
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
2721
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2723
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
2724
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
2725
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
2726
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
2727
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
2728
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
2733
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
2734
putting together a real history without having to create a full
2735
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
2736
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
2737
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
2738
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2740
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
2741
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
2742
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
2744
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
2747
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
2748
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
2750
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.

#######################
2757
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
2758
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
2759
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
2760
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
2766
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
2767
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
2768
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
2770
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
2771
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
2772
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
2773
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
2774
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
2777
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
2779
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
2780
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
2781
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
2787
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
2788
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
2791
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
2792
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
2793
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
2794
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
2796
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
2797
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
2798
(Christophe Troestler)
2800
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
2801
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
2803
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
2804
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
2805
faster. The new request method name is
2806
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2811
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
2812
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
2813
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
2814
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
2815
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
2817
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
2818
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
2820
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
2821
requires a branch to be present.
2822
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
2824
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
2826
(Martin Pool, #205230)
2828
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
2829
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
2830
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
2831
(Martin Pool, #240161)
2833
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
2834
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
2836
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
2838
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
2840
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
2841
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
2842
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
2843
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
2844
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
2846
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
2847
(Martin Pool, #172870)
2849
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
2850
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
2852
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
2854
(Matt McClure, #209281)
2856
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
2857
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
2859
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
2860
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
2865
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
2868
* Updated developer documentation.
2874
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
2875
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
2877
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
2878
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
2879
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
2880
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
2885
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
2886
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
2887
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
2888
Repository docstring for more details.
2891
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
2892
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
2893
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
2895
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
2896
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
2899
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
2900
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
2901
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
2902
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
2907
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
2908
(Alexander Belchenko)
2910
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
2911
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
2912
containing a given location.
2915
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
2916
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
2917
storage. (Robert Collins)
2919
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
2922
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
2923
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.

#######################
2930
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
2931
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
2932
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
2938
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
2939
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
2940
reading from the repository.)
2941
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
2943
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
2944
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
2946
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
2947
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
2950
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
2951
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
2952
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
2954
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
2955
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
2956
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
2958
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
2959
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
2961
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
2962
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
2963
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
2964
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
2969
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
2971
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
2972
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
2973
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
2976
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
2977
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
2982
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2987
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
2988
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
2993
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
2994
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
2995
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
2996
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
2997
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
2999
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
3000
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
3005
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
3006
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
3008
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
3009
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)

3012
#######################
3015
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
3016
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
3017
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
3018
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
3019
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
3020
and future extensions.
3023
Notes When Upgrading
3024
********************
3026
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
3027
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
3028
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
3029
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
3030
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
3031
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
3032
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
3033
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
3038
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
3039
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
3040
(John Arbash Meinel)
3045
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
3046
load. (James Westby)
3051
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
3052
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
3053
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
3054
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
3056
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
3057
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
3058
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
3060
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
3061
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
3063
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
3064
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
3065
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
3067
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
3068
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
3069
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
3070
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
3071
step closer to not using full revision history.
3072
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
3077
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
3078
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
3080
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
3081
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
3083
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
3084
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
3086
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
3087
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
3088
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
3089
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
3091
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
3092
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
3093
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
3094
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
3096
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
3097
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
3098
in use by another process.
3101
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
3102
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
3103
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
3104
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
3106
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
3107
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
3109
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
3110
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
3111
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
3113
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
3114
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
3115
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
3117
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
3119
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
3121
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
3122
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
3124
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
3125
under vim on Mac OS X.
3126
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
3128
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
3129
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
3134
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
3135
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
3137
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
3138
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
3141
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
3142
and about use of Python reprs.
3143
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
3145
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
3150
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
3153
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
3154
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
3156
* New helper function for splitting test suites
3157
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
3162
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
3163
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
3164
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
3165
(John Arbash Meinel)
3170
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
3171
instead. (Martin Pool)
3173
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
3174
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
3175
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
3176
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
3178
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
3179
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
3180
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
3181
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
3182
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
3184
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
3185
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
3186
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
3187
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
3188
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
3189
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
3191
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
3192
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
3195
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
3196
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
3199
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
3200
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
3201
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
3202
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
3204
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
3205
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
3206
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
3208
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
3209
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
3210
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
3211
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
3212
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
3215
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
3216
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
3217
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
3218
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
3221
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
3222
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
3223
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
3224
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
3225
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
3227
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
3234
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
3235
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
3236
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
3241
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
3242
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
3243
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
3248
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
3249
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.

3259
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
3260
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
3261
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
3262
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
3267
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
3268
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
3270
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
3271
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
3273
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
3279
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
3280
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
3282
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
3283
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
3285
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
3286
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
3287
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
3289
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
3290
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
3291
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
3293
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
3296
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
3297
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
3299
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
3300
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
3302
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
3303
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
3305
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
3306
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
3308
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
3309
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
3310
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
3312
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
3313
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
3315
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
3316
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
3318
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
3319
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
3320
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
3321
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
3323
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
3324
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
3327
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
3328
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
3329
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
3331
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
3332
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
3333
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
3334
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
3335
every revision each side had in common.
3336
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3338
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
3339
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
3341
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
3342
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
3343
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
3344
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
3349
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
3350
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
3351
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
3352
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
3354
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
3356
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
3358
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
3359
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
3364
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
3365
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
3366
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
3368
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
3369
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
3370
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
3371
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
3373
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
3374
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3376
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
3377
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
3378
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
3379
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3381
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
3382
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
3383
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
3384
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
3389
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
3390
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
3391
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
3393
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
3395
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
3396
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
3398
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
3399
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3401
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
3402
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
3407
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
3408
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
3409
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
3411
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
3412
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
3413
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
3416
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
3417
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
3420
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.
3427
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
3428
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
3429
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
3430
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
3431
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
3432
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
3433
and faster performance.
3438
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
3439
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the

3492
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
3493
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
3494
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
3499
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
3501
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
3502
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
3503
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
3505
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
3506
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
3507
See the User Reference for signature details.
3508
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
3510
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
3511
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
3516
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
3517
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
3518
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
3519
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3521
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
3522
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
3524
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
3525
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
3526
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
3529
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
3532
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
3533
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
3534
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
3536
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
3539
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
3540
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
3542
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
3543
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
3545
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
3546
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
3547
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
3549
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
3550
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
3551
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
3552
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
3553
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
3555
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
3556
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
3558
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
3559
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
3564
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
3565
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
3566
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
3567
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
3568
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
3569
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
3571
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
3572
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
3574
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
3575
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
3576
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
3578
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
3579
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
3581
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
3582
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
3583
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
3584
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3586
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
3587
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
3588
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
3589
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
3590
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
3592
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
3594
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
3595
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
3597
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
3599
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
3600
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
3602
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
3603
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
3608
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
3610
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
3612
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
3614
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
3619
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
3620
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
3621
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
3623
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
3624
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
3625
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
3626
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
3628
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
3629
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
3630
release. (James Westby)
3632
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
3635
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
3637
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
3638
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
3640
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
3641
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
3643
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
3644
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
3646
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
3647
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
3648
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
3650
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
3651
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
3652
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
3653
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
3655
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
3656
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
3657
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
3658
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
3660
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
3661
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
3662
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
3663
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
3664
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
3665
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
3667
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
3668
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
3669
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
3671
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
3672
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
3674
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
3675
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
3678
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
3679
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
3681
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
3682
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
3684
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
3685
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
3687
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
3688
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
3689
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
3691
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
3692
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
3693
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
3694
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
3695
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
3696
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
3701
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
3702
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
3703
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
3704
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
3706
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
3707
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
3708
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
3709
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
3713
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
3714
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
3717
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
3718
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
3720
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
3722
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
3723
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
3724
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
3729
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3731
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
3734
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
3735
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
3736
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
3737
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
3738
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
3739
(Martin Pool, #109520)
3741
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
3742
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
3744
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
3745
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
3746
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
3747
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
3749
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
3750
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
3752
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
3753
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
3795
********************
3797
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
3798
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
3803
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
3804
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
3805
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
3806
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
3809
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
3810
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
3811
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
3812
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
3813
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
3814
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
3816
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
3817
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
3818
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
3819
(Alexander Belchenko)
3821
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
3823
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
3824
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
3829
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
3830
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
3832
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
3833
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
3839
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
3841
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3843
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
3844
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
3845
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
3847
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
3848
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
3850
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
3851
to. (Daniel Watkins)
3853
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
3854
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
3855
(Alexander Belchenko)
3857
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
3858
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
3859
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
3860
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
3862
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
3865
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
3866
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
3867
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
3868
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
3869
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
3874
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
3875
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
3876
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
3877
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
3879
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
3880
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
3882
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
3883
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
3885
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
3886
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
3887
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
3889
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
3890
(#198793, John Ferlito)
3892
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
3895
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
3896
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
3898
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
3900
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
3902
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
3903
symlinks (James Henstridge)
3905
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
3906
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
3908
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
3909
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
3911
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
3912
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
3914
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
3915
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
3917
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
3918
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
3923
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
3924
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
3929
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
3930
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
3931
(Alexander Belchenko)
3936
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
3938
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
3939
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
3945
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
3946
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
3947
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
3949
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
3950
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
3951
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
3952
(Alexander Belchenko)
3954
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
3955
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
3956
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
3957
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
3959
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
3960
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
3961
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
3964
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
3965
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
3966
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
3968
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
3969
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
3970
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
3972
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
3973
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
3974
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
3975
format. (Robert Collins)
3984
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
3987

#####################
3990
Notes When Upgrading
3991
********************
3993
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
3994
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
3995
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
3996
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
3997
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
4003
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
4004
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
4006
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
4007
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
4008
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
4010
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
4011
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
4012
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
4013
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
4014
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
4015
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
4021
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
4022
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4024
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
4025
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
4026
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
4029
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
4030
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
4031
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
4032
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
4033
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
4035
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
4036
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
4037
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
4038
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
4039
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
4040
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
4041
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
4042
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
4047
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
4048
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
4050
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
4051
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
4053
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
4054
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
4056
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
4057
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
4058
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
4060
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
4061
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
4062
(John Arbash Meinel)
4067
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
4068
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
4070
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
4071
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
4073
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
4074
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
4076
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
4077
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
4078
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
4080
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
4081
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
4082
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
4084
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
4085
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
4087
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
4088
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
4089
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
4090
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
4091
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
4093
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
4095
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
4096
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
4099
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
4100
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
4102
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
4103
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
4105
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
4106
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
4108
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
4109
more characters which should be considered valid.
4110
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
4112
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
4113
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
4115
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
4116
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
4121
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
4122
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
4124
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
4125
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
4131
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
4132
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
4138
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
4139
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
4140
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
4142
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
4143
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
4144
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
4146
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
4147
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
4148
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
4149
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
4151
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
4153
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
4154
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
4155
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
4156
server. (Robert Collins)
4158
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
4159
operate. (Robert Collins)
4161
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
4162
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
4163
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
4165
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
4166
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
4167
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
4168
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
4170
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
4171
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
4173
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
4174
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
4175
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
4177
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
4178
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
4180
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
4181
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
4183
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
4184
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
4185
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
4186
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
4201
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
4202
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
4203
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
4205
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
4206
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
4207
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
4208

4230
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
4232
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
4234
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
4235
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
4236
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
4237
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
4238
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
4240
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
4241
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
4242
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)

4276
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)

4285
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.

4327
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
4330
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
4331
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
4332
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
4333

support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4358
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
4367
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
4368

Notes When Upgrading
4544
********************
4546
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
4547
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
4548
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
4549
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
4551
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
4552
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
4554
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
4555
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
4557
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
4558
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
4559
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
4560
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
4561
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
4562
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
4563
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
4564
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
4565
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
4566
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
4567
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
4568
from any tree without problems.
4569
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
4574
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
4575
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
4576
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
4578
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
4579
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
4585
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
4586
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
4587
supported transports.
4590
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
4591
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
4592
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
4594
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
4595
(Robert Collins, #154173)
4597
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
4598
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
4599
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
4600
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
4602
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
4603
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
4608
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
4609
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
4610
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
4611
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4613
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
4614
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
4615
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
4616
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
4618
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
4619
(Robert Collins, #88319)
4621
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
4622
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
4624
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
4625
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
4627
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
4628
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
4634
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
4637
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
4638
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
4641
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
4642
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
4643
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
4644
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
4646
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
4647
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
4648
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
4649
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
4657
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
4658
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
4660
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
4661
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
4663
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
4664
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)

4669
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.

* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
4681
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
4682
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
4684
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before

* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
4692
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)

4700
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between

* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
4719
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)

* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
4722
specify a port in urls.

* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
4726
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
4728
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.

4731
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.

(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
4734
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.

(Robert Collins, #153789)
4737
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
4738
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
4739
(Robert Collins, #165304).
4741
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)

* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
4744
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)

* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
4753
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
4755
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
4756
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
4757
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
4759
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
4760
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
4762
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
4763
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
4764
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
4765
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
4767
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
4768
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
4770
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
4771
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
4772
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
4774
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
4775
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
4777
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
4778
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
4780
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
4781
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
4786
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
4787
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
4789
* The return value of
4790
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
4791
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
4792
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
4793
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
4795
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
4798
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
4799
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
4806
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
4807
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
4808
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
4811
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
4812
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
4814
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

######################
4832
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
4833
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
4835
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
4836
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
4837
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
4838
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
4839
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
4840
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
4841
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
4842
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
4843
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
4844
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
4845
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
4846
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
4852
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
4853
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
4854
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
4855
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
4856
commands. (Robert Collins)
4858
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
4859
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
4860
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
4863
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
4865
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
4866
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
4868
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
4869
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
4872
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
4873
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
4874
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
4879
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
4880
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
4882
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
4883
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
4885
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
4886
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
4887
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
4888
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
4890
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
4893
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
4894
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
4895
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
4896
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
4898
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
4899
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
4901
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
4902
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
4904
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
4905
the contents. (Robert Collins)
4907
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
4908
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
4913
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
4914
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
4916
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
4917
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
4919
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
4920
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
4922
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
4923
(Martin Pool, #63894)
4925
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
4926
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
4931
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
4933
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
4939
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
4940
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
4941
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
4943
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
4944
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
4946
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
4947
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
4949
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
4950
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
4951
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
4952
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
4954
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
4955
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
4956
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
4957
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
4958
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
4960
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
4961
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
4963
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
4965
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
4967
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
4968
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
4970
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
4971
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
4973
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
4974
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
4976
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
4977
contains a symbolic link.
4978
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
4980
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
4981
(James Westby, #140615)
4983
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
4984
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
4985
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
4987
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
4988
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
4989
(Martin Pool, #144633)
4991
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4993
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
4994
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
4996
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
4998
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
5000
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
5001
directory to detect leaking tests.
5002
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
5004
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
5005
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
5006
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
5008
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
5011
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
5012
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
5014
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
5020
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
5021
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
5023
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
5024
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
5025
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
5027
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
5028
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
5029
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
5031
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
5032
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
5034
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
5035
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
5037
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
5038
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
5041
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
5042
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
5044
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
5045
class that needs it.
5048
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
5049
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
5051
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
5052
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
5053
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
5055
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
5056
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
5057
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
5060
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
5061
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
5062
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
5063
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
5069
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
5070
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
5071
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
5073
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
5074
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
5075
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
5076
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
5078
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
5079
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
5082
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
5083
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
5084
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
5086
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
5087
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
5088
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
5090
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
5091
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
5093
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
5094
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
5095
to complete. (Robert Collins)
5097
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
5098
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
5100
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
5101
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
5102
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
5104
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
5105
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
5106
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
5108
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
5109
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
5110
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
5111
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
5113
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
5114
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
5115
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
5116
returned. (Robert Collins)
5118
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
5119
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
5121
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
5122
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
5123
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
5124
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
5127
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
5128
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
5133
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
5134
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
5136
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
5137
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
5138
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
5139
makes this behavior available to other users.
5142
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
5143
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
5152
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
5153
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
5154
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
5156
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
5158
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
5159
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
5160
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
5161
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
5163
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
5164
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
5168
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
5169
######################
5171
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
5172
in bzrlib/remote.py.
5175
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
5176
######################
5181
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
5182
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
5183
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
5184
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
5187
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
5188
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
5189
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
5195
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
5196
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
5197
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
5200
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
5201
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
5202
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
5204
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
5205
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
5206
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
5208
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
5209
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
5211
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
5212
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
5213
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
5214
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
5215
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
5216
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
5217
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
5218
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
5219
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
5220
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
5222
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
5223
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
5225
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
5226
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
5227
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
5232
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
5233
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
5235
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
5236
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
5237
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
5239
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
5240
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
5242
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
5243
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
5245
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
5248
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
5249
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
5251
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
5252
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
5254
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
5255
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5257
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
5258
(Blake Winton, #129299)
5260
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
5262
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
5265
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
5266
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
5267
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
5268
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
5270
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5272
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
5273
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
5276
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
5277
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
5279
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
5280
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
5283
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
5284
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
5286
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
5287
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
5289
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
5290
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
5291
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
5292
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
5293
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
5294
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.

* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
5298
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
5300
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
5301
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
5303
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
5304
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
5306
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.

* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
5314
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
5316
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
5317
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
5318
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)

* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
5321
process if building of a C extension is not possible.

* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
5328
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
5330
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
5333
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
5336
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
5337
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
5339
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
5341
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.

(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
5344
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
5345
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
5347
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
5348
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
5349
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
5350
space). (Robert Collins)
5352
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
5353
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
5356
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
5357
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5359
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
5360
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
5362
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
5363
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
5364
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
5365
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
5367
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
5368
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
5369
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
5372
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
5375
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
5376
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
5377
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
5379
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
5380
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
5381
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
5382
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
5383
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
5388
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
5389
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
5391
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
5392
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
5393
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
5394
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
5395
affected. (Robert Collins)
5397
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
5398
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
5399
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
5402
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
5403
previous release. (Martin Pool)
5408
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
5409
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
5411
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
5412
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5414
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
5415
previous release. (Martin Pool)
5417
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
5420
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
5421
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5426
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
5427
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
5428
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
5429
its version information. (Robert Collins)
5431
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
5432
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
5434
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
5435
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
5436
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
5437
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
5439
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
5440
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
5441
present. (Robert Collins)
5443
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
5444
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
5445
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
5446
API. (Robert Collins)
5448
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
5449
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
5452
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
5453
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
5455
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
5456
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
5457
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
5458
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
5459
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
5460
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
5462
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
5463
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
5464
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
5466
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
5467
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
5468
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
5469
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
5472
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
5475
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
5476
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
5477
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
5478
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
5479
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
5480
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
5481
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
5483
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
5484
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
5485
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
5486
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
5488
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
5489
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
5490
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
5491
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
5492
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
5493
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
5495
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
5496
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
5497
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
5499
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
5500
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
5509
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
5510
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
5511
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
5512
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
5513
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
5514
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
5515
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
5516
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
5522
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
5523
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
5524
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
5527

5533
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
5534
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
5535

5536
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.

5542
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
5544
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
5546
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
5547
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
5550
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
5551
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
5554
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
5557
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
5558
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
5560
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
5561
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
5563
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
5564
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
5566
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
5567
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
5569
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
5570
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
5572
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
5578
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
5579
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
5581
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
5582
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
5584
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
5585
the repository (Robert Collins)
5587
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
5588
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
5589
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
5590
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
5591
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
5593
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
5594
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
5596
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
5597
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
5598
(John Arbash Meinel)
5600
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
5601
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
5602
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
5604
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
5605
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
5606
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
5607
(John Arbash Meinel)
5609
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
5610
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
5613
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
5614
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
5616
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
5619
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
5621
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
5623
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
5624
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
5626
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
5627
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
5630
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
5631
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
5632
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
5633
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
5635
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
5636
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
5637
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
5639
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
5640
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
5641
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
5643
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
5644
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
5646
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
5647
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
5648
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
5649
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
5650
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
5651
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
5654
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
5655
(Alexander Belchenko)
5657
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
5658
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
5660
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
5661
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
5663
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
5665
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
5666
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
5671
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
5672
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
5673
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
5674
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
5676
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
5678
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
5681
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
5682
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
5683
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
5684
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
5685
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
5686
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
5691
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
5692
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
5693
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
5694
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
5696
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
5697
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
5698
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
5699
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
5700
tests have been refactored too.
5703
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
5704
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
5705
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
5709
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
5710
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
5711
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
5713
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
5714
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
5715
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
5716
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
5717
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
5718
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
5719
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
5721
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
5722
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
5723
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
5724
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
5725
(John Arbash Meinel)
5727
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
5728
functionality for testing.
5730
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
5732
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
5733
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
5735
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
5737
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
5740
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
5741
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
5743
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
5744
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
5745
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
5747
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
5750
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
5751
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
5753
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
5754
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
5755
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
5756
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
5758
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
5759
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
5761
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
5762
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
5763
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
5765
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
5768
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
5769
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
5770
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
5771
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
5772
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
5773
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
5775
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
5776
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
5777
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
5778
many files. (Robert Collins)
5780
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
5781
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
5782
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
5783
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
5788
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
5789
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
5790
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
5792
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
5793
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
5795
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
5796
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
5797
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
5844
individually and as part of revision ranges.
5845
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
5847
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
5848
(Martin Pool, #109169)
5850
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
5851
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
5853
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
5854
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
5856
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
5858
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
5863
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
5864
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
5865
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
5866
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
5867
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
5868
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
5870
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
5871
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
5872
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
5874
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
5877
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
5878
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
5880
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
5881
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
5883
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
5884
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
5886
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
5887
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
5888
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
5889
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
5890
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
5892
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
5893
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
5895
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
5896
can be slow it is useful feedback).
5897
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
5899
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
5900
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
5902
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
5904
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
5905
output. (Aaron Bentley)
5907
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
5908
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
5911
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
5914
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
5915
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
5917
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
5918
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
5920
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
5921
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
5923
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
5925
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
5926
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
5928
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
5934
* Testing cleanups -
5935
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
5936
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
5937
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
5938
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
5939
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
5940
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
5941
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
5942

5943
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
5944
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
5945
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
5946
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
5947
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
5948
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
5949
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
5950
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
5951
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
5954
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
5956
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
5957
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
5958
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
5960
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
5961
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
5963
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
5964
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5966
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
5968
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
5969
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
5970
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
5971
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
5972
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
5973
same location. (Robert Collins)
5978
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
5980
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
5982
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
5984
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
5987
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
5990
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
5991
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
5992
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
5994
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
5996
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
5997
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
5998
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
6000
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
6001
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
6003
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
6004
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
6005
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
6007
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
6008
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
6009
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
6011
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
6012
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
6013
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
6015
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
6016
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
6019
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
6020
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
6022
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
6023
(Alexander Belchenko)
6028
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
6029
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
6030
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
6031
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
6033
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
6034
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
6035
testing. (Robert Collins)
6037
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
6038
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
6040
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
6041
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
6042
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
6043
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
6044
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
6045
attribute during the test parameterisation in
6046
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
6048
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
6049
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
6050
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
6051
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
6053
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
6054
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
6056
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
6057
avoid useless cloning.

Notes When Upgrading
6078
********************
6080
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
6081
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
6082
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
6083
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
6084
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
6085
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
6086
and unlock() like so::
6088
work_tree.lock_read()
6090
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
6096
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
6097
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
6099
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
6100
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
6101
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
6103
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
6104
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
6105
too. (Robert Collins)
6110
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
6111
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
6114
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
6115
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
6117
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
6118
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
6120
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
6121
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
6122
understanding what changes have occurred
6123
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
6125
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
6126
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
6127
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
6129
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
6130
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
6131
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
6132
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
6134
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
6140
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
6141
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
6142
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
6143
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
6144
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
6146
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
6147
based on split paths, not just string paths.
6148
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
6150
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
6151
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
6153
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
6155
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
6157
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
6158
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
6160
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
6161
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
6163
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
6164
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
6166
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
6167
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
6169
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
6170
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
6172
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
6173
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
6174
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
6177
####################
6182
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
6183
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
6184
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
6185
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
6186
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
6188
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
6189
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
6190
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
6192
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
6193
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
6198
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
6199
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
6200
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
6202
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
6203
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
6204
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
6205
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
6207
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
6208
#######################
6213
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
6214
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
6215
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
6216
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
6218
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
6219
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
6220
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
6222
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
6223
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
6225
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
6226
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
6228
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
6229
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

6234
Notes When Upgrading
6235
********************
6237
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
6238
it could be recovered again.
6239
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
6240
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
6241
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
6243
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
6245
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
6246
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
6251
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
6252
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
6254
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
6255
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
6256
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
6257
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
6259
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
6260
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
6262
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
6263
tests with names that match that regular expression.
6264
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
6266
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
6267
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
6268
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
6270
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
6271
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
6272
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
6274
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
6275
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
6278
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
6281
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
6282
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
6283
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
6284
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
6286
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
6289
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
6290
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
6291
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
6294
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
6295
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
6297
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
6298
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
6300
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
6301
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
6302
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
6303
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
6306
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
6307
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
6309
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
6310
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
6312
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
6313
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
6314
(Robert Collins, #107125).
6316
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
6317
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
6318
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
6320
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
6321
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
6322
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
6324
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
6325
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
6326
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
6327
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
6329
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
6330
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
6331
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
6332
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
6334
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
6335
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
6336
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
6337
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
6338
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
6339
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
6340
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
6341
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
6348
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
6349
code paths. (Robert Collins)
6351
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
6352
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
6353
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
6354
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
6355
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
6357
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
6358
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
6360
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
6361
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
6363
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
6364
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
6366
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
6367
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
6369
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
6370
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
6371
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
6374
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
6375
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
6376
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
6377
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
6378
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
6381
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
6382
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
6383
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
6385
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
6386
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
6389
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
6390
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
6391
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
6394
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
6395
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
6396
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
6397
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
6398
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
6400
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
6401
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
6402
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
6403
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
6405
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
6406
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
6408
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
6409
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
6410
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
6411
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
6412
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
6413
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
6415
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
6416
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
6418
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
6419
help. (Robert Collins)
6421
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
6422
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
6424
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
6425
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
6426
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
6427
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
6428
(John Arbash Meinel)
6430
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
6431
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
6432
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
6433
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
6434
useful. (Robert Collins)
6436
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
6442
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
6443
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
6445
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
6446
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
6448
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
6449
properly and is no longer beneficial.
6450
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
6452
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
6455
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
6456
the file, and does it faster.
6457
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
6459
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
6460
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
6461
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
6463
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
6464
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
6465
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
6466
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
6468
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
6469
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
6470
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
6471
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
6473
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
6474
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
6476
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
6477
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
6478
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
6479
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
6482
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
6484
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
6485
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
6487
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
6488
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
6490
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
6491
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
6492
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
6493
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
6497
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
6498
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
6503
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
6504
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
6505
in running it. (Robert Collins)
6507
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
6508
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
6510
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
6511
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
6512
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
6513
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
6514
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
6515
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
6516
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
6517
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
6519
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
6520
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
6521
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
6523
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
6524
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
6525
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
6526
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
6527
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
6529
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
6531
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
6532
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
6533
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
6535
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
6536
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
6545
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
6548
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
6549
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
6552
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
6553
#######################
6558
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
6559
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
6565
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
6566
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
6567
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
6568
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
6569
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
6570
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
6571
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
6572
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
6578
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
6579
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
6580
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
6582
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
6583
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
6586
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
6587
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
6588
(John Arbash Meinel)
6590
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
6591
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
6592
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
6593
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
6594
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
6599
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
6602
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
6603
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
6605
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
6606
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
6608
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
6609
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
6610
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
6612
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
6613
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
6615
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
6616
last-changed-revision for directories. The
6617
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
6618
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
6619
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
6621
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
6622
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
6623
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
6625
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

6631
Notes When Upgrading
6632
********************
6634
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
6635
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
6636
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
6641
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
6642
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
6644
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
6645
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
6647
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
6649
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
6650
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
6652
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
6653
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
6658
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
6664
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
6665
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
6666
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
6667
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
6669
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
6670
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
6672
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
6673
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
6675
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
6678
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
6679
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
6682
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
6683
#######################
6688
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
6689
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
6690
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
6691
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
6692
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
6693
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
6695
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
6696
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
6697
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
6698
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
6699
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
6700
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
6702
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
6704
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
6705
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
6706
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
6707
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
6708
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
6709
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
6710
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
6711
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
6716
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
6717
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
6719
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
6720
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
6721
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
6722
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
6724
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
6725
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
6726
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
6727
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
6728
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
6730
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
6733
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
6736
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
6739
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
6740
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
6743
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
6746
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
6747
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
6749
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
6750
directory. (Martin Pool)
6752
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
6753
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
6754
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
6755
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
6757
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
6758
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
6759
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
6760
in docs/configuration.txt.
6762
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
6763
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
6766
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
6767
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
6768
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
6769
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
6770
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
6771
repositories. (Martin Pool)
6773
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
6774
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
6776
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
6777
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
6779
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
6785
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
6786
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
6787
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
6788
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
6789
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
6790
(John Arbash Meinel)
6792
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
6793
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
6796
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
6797
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
6798
(John Arbash Meinel)
6800
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
6801
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
6802
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
6803
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
6804
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
6805
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
6807
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
6808
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
6809
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
6811
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
6812
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
6813
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
6814
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
6816
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6818
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
6819
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
6820
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
6821
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
6823
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
6824
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
6825
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
6826
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
6828
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
6829
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
6830
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
6832
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
6833
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
6834
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
6836
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
6837
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
6838
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
6839
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
6841
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
6842
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
6843
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
6845
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
6846
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
6847
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
6849
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
6850
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
6851
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
6852
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
6853
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
6854
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
6855
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
6856
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
6857
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
6858
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
6859
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
6864
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
6865
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
6866
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
6868
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
6871
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
6872
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
6873
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
6874
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
6876
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
6877
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
6880
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
6881

6886
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.

6889
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.

6928
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's

6942
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)

* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
6947
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly

6958
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
6959
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
6960
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
6961
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
6962
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
6964
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
6965
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
6966
should enable you to do::
6968
[/home/user/project]
6969
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
6970
push_location:policy = appendpath
6972
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
6973
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
6976
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
6977
for each file. For example::
6979
$ bzr status --short
6985
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
6986
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
6988
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
6990
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
6991
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
6993
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
6998
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
6999
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
7000
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
7001
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
7003
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
7004
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
7005
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
7007
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
7009
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
7010
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
7011
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
7012
(Alexander Belchenko)
7014
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
7017
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
7018
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
7020
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
7025
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
7026
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
7028
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
7029
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
7030
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
7031
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
7032
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
7034
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
7035
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
7037
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
7038
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
7040
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
7042
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
7044
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
7045
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
7046
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
7047
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
7048
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
7050
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
7051
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
7052
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
7053
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
7055
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
7056
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
7058
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
7059
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
7061
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
7062
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
7064
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

7080
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
7082
(Daniel Silverstone)
7084
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
7085
operations are substantially faster.
7086
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
7088
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
7089
tree from some other url. For example:
7090
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
7091
(Daniel Silverstone)
7093
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
7094
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
7095
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
7096
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
7098
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
7101
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
7102
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
7103
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
7104
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
7105
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
7106
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
7111
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
7112
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
7115
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
7116
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
7117
(John Arbash Meinel)
7119
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
7120
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
7121
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
7122
(John Arbash Meinel)
7124
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
7125
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
7127
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
7128
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
7130
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
7131
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
7137
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
7138
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
7139
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
7141
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
7142
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
7143
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
7144
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
7146
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
7148
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
7149
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
7151
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
7152
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
7153
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
7154
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
7156
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
7157
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
7158
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
7160
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
7161
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
7162
them as full references rather than integers.
7163
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
7165
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
7166
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
7168
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
7170
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
7171
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
7173
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
7174
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
7176
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
7177
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
7178
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
7179
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
7181
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
7182
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
7183
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
7185
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
7186
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
7188
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
7189
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
7190
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
7191
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
7192
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
7197
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
7198
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

#######################
7216
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
7217
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
7218
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
7219
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
7221
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
7222
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
7224
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
7226
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
7227
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
7228
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
7229
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
7231
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
7232
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
7233
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
7234
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
7235
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
7240
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
7241
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
7246
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
7247
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
7248
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
7250
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
7251
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
7252
(John Arbash Meinel)
7254
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
7255
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
7256
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
7258
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
7259
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
7262
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
7263
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
7264
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
7266
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
7267
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
7268
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
7269
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
7270
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
7271
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
7273
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
7274
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
7275
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
7278
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
7279
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
7284
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
7285
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
7286
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
7289
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
7290
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
7292
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
7293
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
7294
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
7296
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
7297
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
7299
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
7300
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
7301
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
7302
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
7304
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
7305
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
7307
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
7308
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
7309
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
7311
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
7312
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
7314
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
7316
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
7317
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
7323
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
7324
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
7325
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
7326
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
7328
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
7329
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
7330
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)

7354
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
7355
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
7356
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
7357
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
7358
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
7359
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
7360
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
7362
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
7363
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
7364
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
7366
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
7368
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
7369
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
7371
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
7372
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
7373
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
7376
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
7377
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
7378
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
7379
(John Arbash Meinel)
7381
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
7382
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
7383
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
7384
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
7387
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
7388
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
7389
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
7390
(John Arbash Meinel)
7395
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
7396
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
7398
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
7400
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
7401
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
7402
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
7404
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
7405
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)

* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
7408

7413
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
7414
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
7416
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
7418
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
7419
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
7421
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
7422
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
7424
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
7425
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
7427
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
7428
(John Arbash Meinel)
7430
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
7431
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
7432
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
7434
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
7435
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
7437
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
7438
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
7439
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
7440
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
7442
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
7443
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
7444
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
7446
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
7447
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
7452
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
7457
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
7458
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
7459
(John Arbash Meinel)
7461
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
7462
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
7463
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
7464
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
7466
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
7469
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
7470
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
7471
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
7473
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
7474
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
7476
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
7477
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
7478
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
7480
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
7481
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
7482
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
7483
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
7484
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
7485
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
7486
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
7487
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
7488
caller to repeat their request.
7489
(John Arbash Meinel)
7491
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
7492
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
7494
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
7495
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
7497
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
7498
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
7499
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
7500
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
7501
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
7502
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
7503
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
7505
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
7506
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
7507
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
7508
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
7509
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
7510
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
7511
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
7512
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
7515
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
7516
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
7517
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
7519
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
7520
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
7522
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
7523
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
7525
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
7526
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
7531
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
7532
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
7534
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
7535
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
7536
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
7538
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
7539
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
7540
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
7543
####################
7547
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
7548
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
7550
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
7551
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
7552
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
7553
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
7554
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
7556
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
7557
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
7558
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
7560
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
7561
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
7563
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
7564
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
7565
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
7570
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
7572
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
7573
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
7574
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
7576
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
7578
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
7580
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
7581
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
7582
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
7583
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
7585
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
7586
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
7587
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
7588
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
7589
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
7591
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
7592
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
7594
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
7595
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
7597
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
7598
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
7600
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
7601
in handling of revision properties.
7602
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
7604
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
7605
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
7610
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
7611
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
7612
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
7613
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
7614
(John Arbash Meinel)
7616
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
7617
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
7618
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
7620

#####################
7626
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
7627
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
7628
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
7629
specific one '.bzrignore'.
7630
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
7631
a more conservative list than the old default.
7632
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
7633
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
7634
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
7635
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
7637
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
7638
to more locations than just branch locations.
7644
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
7645
revno:N:branch. For example,
7646
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
7647
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
7649
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
7650
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
7651
the path of a file that has been versioned.
7652
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
7653
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
7654
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
7655
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
7656
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
7659
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
7660
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
7661
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
7664
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
7665
(Alexander Belchenko)
7667
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
7669
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
7672
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
7673
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
7674
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
7675
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
7676
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
7677
(John Arbash Meinel)
7679
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
7680
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
7681
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
7682
grained analysis of performance.
7683
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
7685
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
7686
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
7688
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
7689
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
7690
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
7691
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
7692
file. (Robert Collins).
7694
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
7695
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
7696
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
7698
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
7699
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
7702
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
7703
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
7705
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
7706
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
7707
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
7708
the same way you would apply another branch.
7709
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
7711
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
7712
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
7714
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
7717
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
7720
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
7721
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
7722
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
7724
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
7725
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
7726
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
7728
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
7729
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
7731
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
7732
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
7733
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
7734
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
7735
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
7737
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
7738
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
7740
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
7741
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
7742
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
7743
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
7744
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
7745
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
7746
branch is as much as 4x faster.
7747
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
7749
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
7750
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
7751
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
7756
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
7758
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
7760
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
7761
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
7763
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
7764
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
7766
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
7767
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
7769
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
7771
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
7772
(John Arbash Meinel)
7774
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
7775
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
7777
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
7778
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
7781
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
7782
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
7784
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
7785
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
7787
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
7788
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
7789
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
7790
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
7792
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
7793
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
7795
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
7797
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
7798
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
7800
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
7802
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
7804
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
7805
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
7807
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
7808
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
7810
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
7811
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
7812
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
7814
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
7815
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
7816
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
7818
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
7819
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
7821
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
7822
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
7824
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
7825
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
7827
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
7828
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
7830
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
7831
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
7833
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
7834
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
7835
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
7837
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
7839
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
7840
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
7845
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
7846
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
7847
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
7849
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
7850
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
7852
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
7853
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
7854
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
7856
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
7857
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
7859
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
7860
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
7863
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
7864
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
7865
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
7867
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
7868
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
7869
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
7871
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
7872
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
7873
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
7875
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
7876
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
7877
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
7879
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
7880
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
7881
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
7883
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
7884
instead. (Robert Collins)
7886

7953
Notes When Upgrading
7954
********************
7956
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
7957
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
7958
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
7959
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
7960
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
7961
will keep the same format.
7963
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
7964
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
7965
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
7966
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
7967
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
7969
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
7970
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
7971
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
7972
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
7973
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
7974
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
7975
indicating the current revision of the branch.
7977
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
7978
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
7979
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
7980
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
7981
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
7983
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
7984
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
7985
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
7992
* sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
7993
convention. Paths now take the form::
7995
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
7997
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
7999
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
8000
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
8002
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
8003
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
8004
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
8006
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
8007
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
8008
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
8009
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
8011
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
8012
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
8013
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
8015
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
8017
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
8019
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
8020
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
8023
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
8024
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
8027
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
8029
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
8030
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
8031
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
8034
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
8036
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
8038
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
8041
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
8042
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
8044
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
8045
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
8048
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
8049
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
8052
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
8054
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
8056
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
8057
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
8059
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
8060
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
8061
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
8062
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
8063
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
8064
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
8066
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
8068
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
8069
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
8072
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
8073
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
8075
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
8076
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
8078
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
8080
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
8081
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
8082
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
8083
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
8084
specification by Martin Pool.
8085
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
8087
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
8090
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
8091
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
8093
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
8094
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
8095
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
8097
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
8099
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
8100
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
8106
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
8107
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
8109
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
8111
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
8113
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
8116
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
8117
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
8118
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
8119
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
8124
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
8125
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
8126
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
8127
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
8129
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
8130
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
8131
tried. (Martin Pool)
8133
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
8136
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
8138
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
8139
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
8140
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
8142
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
8143
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
8145
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
8146
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
8147
paths. (Robert Collins)
8149
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
8150
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
8151
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
8153
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
8154
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
8155
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
8157
* Progress bars are now nested - see
8158
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
8159
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
8161
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
8164
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
8167
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
8169
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
8171
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
8172
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
8173
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
8176
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
8177
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
8179
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
8180
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
8181
check. (Robert Collins)
8183
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
8184
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
8189
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
8190
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
8192
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
8193
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
8194
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
8195
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
8197
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
8198
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
8199
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
8200
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
8201
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
8203
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
8204
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
8205
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
8207
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
8209
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
8210
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
8218
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
8219
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
8221
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
8222
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
8223
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
8226
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
8227
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
8229
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
8230
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
8231
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
8232
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
8233
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
8235
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
8236
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
8237
used. (Robert Collins)
8239
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
8240
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
8243
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
8244
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
8245
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
8247
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
8250
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
8251
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
8256
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
8257
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
8259
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
8261
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
8263
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
8264
tree. (Robert Collins)
8266
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
8267
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
8268
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
8271
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
8274
* Tweaks to short log printing
8276
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
8279
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
8280
occurs. (Martin Pool)
8282
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
8283
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
8285
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
8286
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
8288
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
8289
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
8290
settings. (Magnus Therning)
8292
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
8293
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
8295
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
8296
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
8299
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
8300
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
8302
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
8303
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
8305
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
8306
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
8308
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
8311
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
8312
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
8314
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
8315
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
8317
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
8318
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
8319
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
8324
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
8326
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
8328
* Error when run with -OO
8330
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
8333
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
8335
* Change status to 3 for all errors
8337
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
8338
ignored by diff and status
8340
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
8341
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
8343
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
8345
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
8347
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
8348
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
8350
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
8351
email address. (Marien Zwart)
8353
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
8356
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
8357
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
8359
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
8361
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
8362
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
8364
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
8367
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
8368
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
8370
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
8375
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
8376
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
8378
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
8380
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
8382
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
8384
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
8385
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
8386
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
8388
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
8390
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
8391
(John Arbash Meinel)
8393
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
8395
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
8396
If adding a new test script please add that to
8397
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
8399
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
8400
imported. (Martin Pool)
8402
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
8403
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
8404
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
8405
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
8406
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
8409
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
8410
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
8411
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
8413
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
8414
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
8415
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
8417
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
8418
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
8419
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
8420
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
8421
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
8424
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
8425
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
8431
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
8432
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
8434
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
8435
function. (Robert Collins)
8437
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
8438
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
8439
if needed). (Robert Collins)
8441
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
8442
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
8445
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
8446
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
8447
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
8448
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
8449
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
8450
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
8451
version. (Robert Collins)
8453
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
8454
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
8456
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
8457
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
8458
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
8459
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
8460
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
8461
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
8463
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
8466
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
8476
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
8478
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
8480
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
8483
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
8484
query method. (Robert Collins)
8486
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
8489
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
8492
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
8495
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
8496
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
8497
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
8498
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
8500
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
8501
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
8502
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
8503
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
8505
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
8506
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
8514
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
8517
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
8521
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
8522
a separator, not ':'.
8525
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
8526
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
8527
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
8529
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
8530
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
8533
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
8534
has been added that suppresses all output.
8536
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
8539
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
8540
Goffredo Baroncelli.
8542
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
8543
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
8545
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
8546
a revision. (Robert Collins)
8548
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
8549
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
8550
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
8551
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
8553
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
8555
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
8556
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
8558
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
8559
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
8561
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
8562
output directory, if one was supplied.
8564
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
8565
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
8566
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
8567
parameters. (Robert Collins)
8569
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
8571
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
8572
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
8574
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
8575
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
8576
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
8578
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
8579
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
8581
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
8584
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
8586
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
8591
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
8592
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
8593
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
8595
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
8596
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
8597
related questions. (Robert Collins)
8599
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
8600
is given. (Martin Pool)
8602
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
8603
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
8604
file. (Robert Collins)
8606
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
8612
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
8613
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
8614
representation. (Martin Pool).
8616
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
8617
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
8618
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
8620
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
8623
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
8624
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
8627
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
8628
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
8629
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
8630
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
8631
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
8633
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
8634
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
8635
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
8636
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
8637
python path. (Robert Collins)
8639
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
8640
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
8641
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
8642
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
8644
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
8645
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
8647
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
8648
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
8651
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
8652
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
8653
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
8655
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
8656
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
8657
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
8659
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
8660
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
8662
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
8663
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
8664
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
8667
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
8668
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
8669
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
8670
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
8673
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
8676
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
8677
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
8680
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
8681
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
8682
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
8684
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
8685
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propagate as normal.
8686
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
8688
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
8689
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
8690
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
8692
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
8693
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
8695
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
8696
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
8697
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
8698
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
8699
caller. (Robert Collins)
8701
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
8702
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
8705
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
8706
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
8709
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
8711
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
8712
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
8717
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
8718
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
8720
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
8721
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

####################
8730
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
8731
allow directories to be listed.
8733
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
8734
upgrading branch format.
8739
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
8748
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
8749
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
8750
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
8751
high-latency connections.
8756
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
8759
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
8760
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
8762
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
8763
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
8764
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
8765
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
8767
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
8768
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
8770
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
8771
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
8773
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
8774
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
8775
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
8777
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
8778
for files with only a change to their executable status.
8779
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
8782
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
8783
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
8785
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
8786
different partial views of history.
8788
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
8789
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
8794
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
8795
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
8796
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
8798
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
8799
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
8802
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
8803
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
8805
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
8808
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
8809
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
8811
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
8812
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
8813
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
8814
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
8816
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
8818
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
8819
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
8822
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
8823
Contributed by Robert Collins.
8825
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
8826
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
8827
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
8833
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
8834
for your viewing pleasure.
8836
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
8837
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
8839
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
8840
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
8841
handling of such circumstances.
8843
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
8844
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
8845
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
8847
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
8849
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
8850
we call them revisions not patches.
8852
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
8853
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
8855
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
8856
giving the revision *of that file*.
8858
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
8859
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
8860
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
8865
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
8866
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
8868
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
8869
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``

* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
8887
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
8888
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
8893
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
8894
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
8896
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
8897
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
8898
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
8899
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by

####################
8920
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
8921
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
8922
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
8923
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
8926
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
8929
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
8930
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
8931
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
8932
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
8933
for the operating system is still tried.
8935
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
8936
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
8937
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
8943
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
8948
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
8950
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
8953
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be

####################
8971
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to

help with intelligent shell completion.
8974
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
8980
* Much better merge support.
8982
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
8983
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
8990
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
8991
mention revisions that are not present.
8993
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
8995
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.

* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
8998
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
9004
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
9006
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
9007

9026
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
9027
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
9029
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
9031
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
9032
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
9034
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
9037
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
9039
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
9042
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
9043
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
9045
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
9046
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
9047
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
9053
* Faster working tree operations.
9059
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
9060
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
9061
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
9062
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
9064
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
9065
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
9066
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
9067
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
9068
standard plugins directory.
9070
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
9071
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
9072
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
9073
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
9075
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
9076
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
9078
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
9081
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
9082
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
9083
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
9085
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
9086
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
9088
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
9089
line options must come before the command name because they
9090
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
9091
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
9094
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
9096
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
9097
is available with ``--short``.

#####################
9112
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
9113
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
9115
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
9116
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
9117
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
9118
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
9120
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
9121
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
9122
with the ``--forward`` option.
9124
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
9125
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
9132
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
9133
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
9135
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
9137
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
9138
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
9140
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
9142
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
9143
either read or write mode.
9145
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
9147
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that

* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
9152
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
9153
suggested by LarstiQ.
9155
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
9156
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
9158
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of

* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
9162
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
9164
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
9165
haven't changed since the previous time.
9167
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
9168
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
9170
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
9172
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
9174
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
9175
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
9177
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
9178
options through to an external GNU diff.

9191
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
9193
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
9200
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
9201
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to

* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
9205
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
9207
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
9208
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
9210
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
9211
under a different version.
9213
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
9219
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.

* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
9222
Scott James Remnant.
9224
* Better help messages for many commands.

* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
9227
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
9229
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
