.. contents:: List of Releases
19
* ``bzr merge --interactive`` applies a user-selected portion of the
20
merge. The UI is similar to ``shelve``. (Aaron Bentley)
22
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now takes options ``--stacked-on URL`` and
23
``--unstacked`` to change stacking of a branch.
24
(Martin Pool, #391411)
29
* Annotating on a stacked branch will now succeed in simple scenarios.
30
There are still some complex scenarios where it will fail (bug #399884)
31
(John Arbash Meinel, #393366)
33
* A progress bar is no longer left dangling when ``bzr selftest``
34
completes, and the progress bar updates with zero latency so the
35
displayed test name is always the one that's actually running.
36
(Martin Pool, #123688)
38
* Authenticating against an ssh server now uses ``auth_none`` to determine
39
if password authentication is even supported. This fixes a bug where
40
users would be prompted for a launchpad password, even though launchpad
41
only supports publickey authentication. (John Arbash Meinel, #375867)
43
* BranchBuilder now accepts timezone to avoid test failures in countries far
44
from GMT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #397716)
46
* ``bzr commit`` no longer saves the unversioning of missing files until
47
the commit has completed on the branch. This means that aborting a
48
commit that found a missing file will leave the tree unedited.
49
(Robert Collins, #282402)
51
* ``bzr mv`` no longer takes out branch locks, which allows it to work
52
when the branch is readonly. (Robert Collins, #216541)
54
* ``bzr revert .`` no longer generates an InconsistentDelta error when
55
there are missing subtrees. (Robert Collins, #367632)
57
* ``bzr send`` now generates valid bundles with ``--2a`` formats. However,
58
do to internal changes necessary to support this, older clients will
59
fail when trying to insert them. For newer clients, the bundle can be
60
used to apply the changes to any rich-root compatible format.
61
(John Arbash Meinel, #393349)
63
* Cope with FTP servers that don't support restart/append by falling back
64
to reading and then rewriting the whole file, such as TahoeLAFS. (This
65
fallback may be slow for some access patterns.) (Nils Durner, #294709)
67
* Encode the paths in ``mbcs`` encoding on Windows when spawning an
68
external diff client. This at least allows supporting filenames that are
69
not ascii, but are present in the current locale. Ideally we would be
70
able to pass the Unicode path, but that would be client dependent.
71
(John Arbash Meinel, #382709)
73
* Fixed a NameError that occurs when merging or pulling from a URL that
74
causes a redirection loop when bzr tries to read a URL as a bundle.
75
(Andrew Bennetts, #400847)
77
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'TestUIFactory' object has no attribute 'tick'``
78
running send and similar commands on 2a formats.
79
(Martin Pool, #408201)
81
* Fixed export to existing directory: if directory is empty then export
82
will succeed, otherwise it fails with error.
83
(Alexander Belchenko, #406174)
85
* Fixed spurious "Source branch does not support stacking" warning when
86
pushing. (Andrew Bennetts, #388908)
88
* Fixed spurious transport activity indicator appearing while tests are
89
running. (Martin Pool, #343532)
91
* Merge now correctly handles empty right-hand revision specs.
92
(Aaron Bentley, #333961)
94
* Renames to lexographically lower basenames in trees that have never been
95
committed to will no longer corrupt the dirstate. This was caused by an
96
bug in the dirstate update_minimal method. (Robert Collins, #395556)
98
* Requests for unknown methods no longer cause the smart server to log
99
lots of backtraces about ``UnknownSmartMethod``, ``do_chunk`` or
100
``do_end``. (Andrew Bennetts, #338561)
102
* Streaming from bzr servers where there is a chain of stacked branches
103
(A stacked on B stacked on C) will now work. (Robert Collins, #406597)
105
* StreamSource generates rich roots from non-rich root sources correctly
106
now. (Andrew Bennetts, #368921)
108
* The environment variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` set to either ``text`` or ``none``
109
always forces progress bars either on or off respectively. Otherwise,
110
they're turned on if ``TERM`` is not ``dumb`` and stderr is a terminal.
111
bzr always uses the 'text' user interface when run as a command, so
112
``BZR_USE_TEXT_UI`` is no longer needed.
113
(Martin Pool, #339385, #387717)
115
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
116
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
117
repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)
119
* The ``--hardlink`` option to ``branch`` and ``checkout`` is not
120
supported at the moment on workingtree formats that can do content
121
filtering. (See <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/408193>.)
122
bzr now says so, rather than just ignoring the option. (Martin Pool)
124
* There was a bug in ``osutils.relpath`` that was only triggered on
125
Windows. Essentially if you were at the root of a drive, and did
126
something to a branch/repo on another drive, we would go into an
127
infinite loop while trying to find a 'relative path'.
128
(John Arbash Meinel, #394227)
130
* ``WorkingTree4.unversion`` will no longer fail to unversion ids which
131
were present in a parent tree but renamed in the working tree.
132
(Robert Collins, #187207)
137
* Can now rename/move files even if they have been removed from the inventory.
140
* Cross-format fetches (such as between 1.9-rich-root and 2a) via the
141
smart server are more efficient now. They send inventory deltas rather
142
than full inventories. The smart server has two new requests,
143
``Repository.get_stream_1.18`` and ``Repository.insert_stream_1.18`` to
144
support this. (Andrew Bennetts, #374738, #385826)
146
* Pushing branches with tags via ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` is much
147
faster, using a new ``Branch.set_tags_bytes`` smart server verb rather
148
than VFS methods. For example, pushes of small branches with tags take
149
11 rather than 18 smart server requests. (Andrew Bennetts, #398608)
151
* Sending Ctrl-Break on Windows will now drop you into the debugger, in
152
the same way that sending Ctrl-\\ does on other platforms.
159
* Added Bazaar 2.0 Upgrade Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
164
* ``CLIUIFactory`` is deprecated; use ``TextUIFactory`` instead if you
165
need to subclass or create a specific class, or better yet the existing
166
``make_ui_for_terminal``. ``SilentUIFactory`` is clarified to do no
167
user interaction at all, rather than trying to read from stdin but not
168
writing any output, which would be strange if reading prompts or
169
passwords. (Martin Pool)
171
* New TransformPreview.commit() allows committing without a working tree.
174
* ``pb`` parameter to ``TextTestResult`` is deprecated and ignored.
177
* ProgressTasks now prefer to talk direct to their ProgressView not to the
184
* ``CHKInventory.path2id`` uses the parent_id to basename hash to avoid
185
reading the entries along the path, reducing work to lookup ids from
186
paths. (Robert Collins)
188
* ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` now raises ``InconsistentDelta`` if a delta adds
189
as new a key which was already mapped. (Robert Collins)
191
* InterDifferingSerializer is now only used locally. Other fetches that
192
would have used InterDifferingSerializer now use the more network
193
friendly StreamSource, which now automatically does the same
194
transformations as InterDifferingSerializer. (Andrew Bennetts)
196
* Inventory delta application catches more cases of corruption and can
197
prevent corrupt deltas from affecting consistency of data structures on
198
disk. (Robert Collins)
200
* --subunit support now adds timestamps if the subunit version supports
203
* The Windows all-in-one installer now bundles the PyQt image format
204
plugins, which allows previewing more images as part of 'qdiff'.
205
(Alexander Belchenko)
211
* Spurious failure in ``check`` tests on rich-root formats fixed.
212
(Martin Pool, #408199)
214
* The ``bzrlib.tests.TextTestRunner`` will no longer call
215
``countTestsCases`` on the test being run. Progress information is
216
instead handled by having the test passed in call ``result.progress``
217
before running its contents. This improves the behaviour when using
218
``TextTestRunner`` with test suites that don't support
219
``countTestsCases``. (Robert Collins)

bzr 1.17 "So late it's brunch" 2009-07-20
223
#########################################
224
:Codename: so-late-its-brunch
229
Bazaar continues to blaze a straight and shining path to the 2.0 release and
230
the elevation of the ``2a`` beta format to the full glory of "supported and
233
Highlights in this release include greatly reduced memory consumption during
234
commits, faster ``ls``, faster ``annotate``, faster network operations if
235
you're specifying a revision number and the final destruction of those
236
annoying progress bar artifacts.
239
Changes from 1.17rc1 to 1.17final
240
*********************************
242
* Change an extension to call the python ``frozenset()`` rather than the C
243
api ``PyFrozenSet_New``. It turns out that python2.4 did not expose the
244
C api. (John Arbash Meinel, #399366)
246
* Fixes for the Makefile and the rename of ``generate_docs.py`` to
247
``tools/generate_docs.py`` to allow everything to be built on Windows.
248
(John Arbash Meinel, #399356)
250
* ``bzr serve`` once again applies a ``ChrootServer`` to the given
251
directory before serving it. (Andrew Bennetts, #400535)
257
* ``bzr register-branch`` from the Launchpad plugin now refers to "project"
258
instead of "product" which is the correct Launchpad terminology. The
259
--product option is deprecated and users should switch to using --project.
260
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #238764)
266
* ``bzr push`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
267
are present in the working tree (if one is present) and no revision is
268
specified. The configuration option ``push_strict`` can be used to set the
269
default for this behavior. (Vincent Ladeuil, #284038, #322808, #65286)
271
* ``bzr revno`` and ``bzr revision-info`` now have a ``--tree`` option to
272
show revision info for the working tree instead of the branch.
273
(Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
275
* ``bzr send`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
276
are present in the working tree and no revision is specified. The
277
configuration option ``send_strict`` can be used to set the default for this
279
(Vincent Ladeuil, #206577)
281
* ``bzr switch --create-branch/-b`` can now be used to create and switch
282
to a new branch. Supplying a name without a ``/`` will create the branch
283
relative to the existing branch. (similar to how ``bzr switch name``
284
works when the branch already exists.) (John Arbash Meinel)
290
* Accept uppercase "Y/N" to prompts such as from break lock.
291
(#335182, Tim Powell, Martin Pool)
293
* Add documentation about diverged branches and how to fix them in the
294
centralized workflow with local commits. Mention ``bzr help
295
diverged-branches`` when a push fails because the branches have
296
diverged. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #269477)
298
* Annotate would sometimes 'latch on' to trivial lines, causing important
299
lines to be incorrectly annotated. (John Arbash Meinel, #387952)
301
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
302
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
303
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
305
* Avoid progress bar artifacts being left behind on the screen.
306
(Martin Pool, #321935)
308
* Better message in ``bzr split`` error suggesting a rich root format.
309
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #220067)
311
* ``Branch.set_append_revisions_only`` now works with branches on a smart
312
server. (Andrew Bennetts, #365865)
314
* By default, ``bzr branch`` will fail if the target directory exists, but
315
does not already have a control directory. The flag ``--use-existing-dir``
316
will allow operation to proceed. (Alexander Belchenko, #307554)
318
* ``bzr ls DIR --from-root`` now shows only things in DIR, not everything.
321
* Fetch between repositories does not error if they have inconsistent data
322
that should be irrelevant to the fetch operation. (Aaron Bentley)
324
* Fix ``AttributeError`` exception when reconfiguring lightweight checkout
325
of a remote repository.
326
(Jelmer Vernooij, #332194)
328
* Fix bug in decoding v3 smart server messages when receiving multiple
329
lots of excess bytes after an end-of-message.
332
* Force deletion of readonly files during merge, update and other tree
334
(Craig Hewetson, Martin Pool, #218206)
336
* Force socket shutdown in threaded http test servers to avoid client hangs
337
(pycurl). (Vincent Ladeuil, #383920).
339
* ``LRUCache`` will maintain the linked list pointers even if a nodes
340
cleanup function raises an exception. (John Arbash Meinel, #396838)
342
* Progress bars are now suppressed again when the environment variable
343
``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` is set to ``none``.
344
(Martin Pool, #339385)
346
* Reduced memory consumption during ``bzr commit`` of large files. For
347
pre 2a formats, should be down to ~3x the size of a file.
348
For ``--2a`` format repositories, it is down to the size of the file
349
content plus the size of the compressed text. Related to bug #109114.
352
* Set hidden attribute on .bzr directory below unicode path should never
353
fail with error. The operation should succeed even if bzr unable to set
354
the attribute. (Alexander Belchenko, related to bug #335362).
356
* Stacking will no longer accept requests to stack on the same
357
branch/repository. Existing branches that incorrectly reference the same
358
repository in a stacking configuration will now raise
359
UnstackableLocationError when the branch is opened. This can be fixed by
360
removing the stacking location inside ``.bzr/branch``.
361
(Robert Collins, #376243)
363
* The ``log+`` decorator, useful in debugging or profiling, could cause
364
"AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'next'". This is now
365
fixed. The log decorator no longer shows the elapsed time or transfer
366
rate because they're available in the log prefixes and the transport
367
activity display respectively.
368
(Martin Pool, #340347)
370
* Unshelve works correctly when multiple zero-length files are present on
371
the shelf. (Aaron Bentley, #363444)
373
* Progress bars no longer show the network transport scheme or direction.
376
* launchpad-login now respects the 'verbose' option.
377
(Jonathan Lange, #217031)
383
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is now officially deprecated. It is not
384
possible to write a deprecation wrapper, but the variable will be
385
removed in the near future. Use ``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding()``
386
instead. (Alexander Belchenko)
388
* Command lookup has had hooks added. ``bzrlib.Command.hooks`` has
389
three new hook points: ``get_command``, ``get_missing_command`` and
390
``list_commands``, which allow just-in-time command name provision
391
rather than requiring all command names be known a-priori.
394
* ``get_app_path`` from win32utils.py now supports REG_EXPAND_SZ data type
395
and can read path to wordpad.exe. (Alexander Belchenko, #392046)
397
* ``graph.KnownGraph`` has been added. This is a class that can give
398
answers to ``heads()`` very quickly. However, it has the assumption that
399
the whole graph has already been loaded. This is true during
400
``annotate`` so it is used there with good success (as much as 2x faster
401
for files with long ancestry and 'cherrypicked' changes.)
402
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
404
* OS file locks are now taken out using ``CreateFile`` rather than
405
``LockFileEx`` on Windows. The locking remains exclusive with
406
``LockFileEx`` but now it also works on older versions of Windows (such
407
as Win98). (Martin <gzlist>)
409
* pack <=> pack fetching is now done via a ``PackStreamSource`` rather
410
than the ``Packer`` code. The user visible change is that we now
411
properly fetch the minimum number of texts for non-smart fetching.
415
* ``VersionedFiles._add_text`` is a new api that lets us insert text into
416
the repository as a single string, rather than a list of lines. This can
417
improve memory overhead and performance of committing large files.
418
(Currently a private api, used only by commit). (John Arbash Meinel)
424
* ``bzr annotate`` can now be significantly faster. The time for
425
``bzr annotate NEWS`` is down to 7s from 22s in 1.16. Files with long
426
histories and lots of 'duplicate insertions' will be improved more than
427
others. (John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
429
* ``bzr ls`` is now faster. On OpenOffice.org, the time drops from 2.4
430
to 1.1 seconds. The improvement for ``bzr ls -r-1`` is more
431
substantial dropping from 54.3 to 1.1 seconds. (Ian Clatworthy)
433
* Improve "Path(s) are not versioned" error reporting for some commands.
436
* Initial commit performance in ``--2a`` repositories has been improved by
437
making it cheaper to build the initial CHKMap. (John Arbash Meinel)
439
* Resolving a revno to a revision id on a branch accessed via ``bzr://``
440
or ``bzr+ssh://`` is now much faster and involves no VFS operations.
441
This speeds up commands like ``bzr pull -r 123``. (Andrew Bennetts)
443
* ``revision-info`` now properly aligns the revnos/revids in the output
444
and doesn't traceback when given revisions not in the current branch.
445
Performance is also significantly improved when requesting multiple revs
446
at once. (Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
448
* Tildes are no longer escaped by Transports. (Andy Kilner)
454
* Avoid bad text wrapping in generated documentation. Slightly better
455
formatting in the user reference.
456
(Martin Pool, #249908)
458
* Minor clarifications to the help for End-Of-Line conversions.
464
* Removed overspecific error class ``InvalidProgressBarType``.
467
* The method ``ProgressView._show_transport_activity`` is now
468
``show_transport_activity`` because it's part of the contract between
469
this class and the UI. (Martin Pool)
472
bzr 1.16.1 2009-06-26
473
#####################
475
End user testing of the 2a format revealed two serious bugs. The first,
476
#365615, caused bzr to raise AbsentContentFactory errors when autopacking.
477
This meant that commits or pushes to 2a-format repositories failed
480
The second bug, #390563, caused the smart server to raise AbsentContentFactory
481
when streaming 2a stacked 2a-format branches. This particularly affected
482
branches stored on Launchpad in the 2a format.
484
Both of these bugs cause command failures only, neither of them cause data
485
corruption or data loss. And, of course, both of these bugs are now fixed.
490
* We now properly request a more minimal set of file texts when fetching
491
multiple revisions. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
493
* Repositories using CHK pages (which includes the new 2a format) will no
494
longer error during commit or push operations when an autopack operation
495
is triggered. (Robert Collins, #365615)
497
* ``chk_map.iter_interesting_nodes`` now properly uses the *intersection*
498
of referenced nodes rather than the *union* to determine what
499
uninteresting pages we still need to look at. Prior to this,
500
incrementally pushing to stacked branch would push the minimal data, but
501
fetching everything would request extra texts. There are some unhandled
502
cases wrt trees of different depths, but this fixes the common cases.
503
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
505
* ``GroupCompress`` repositories now take advantage of the pack hints
506
parameter to permit cross-format fetching to incrementally pack the
507
converted data. (Robert Collins)
509
* ``Repository.commit_write_group`` now returns opaque data about what
510
was committed, for passing to the ``Repository.pack``. Repositories
511
without atomic commits will still return None. (Robert Collins)
513
* ``Repository.pack`` now takes an optional ``hint`` parameter
514
which will support doing partial packs for repositories that can do
515
that. (Robert Collins)
517
* RepositoryFormat has a new attribute 'pack_compresses' which is True
518
when doing a pack operation changes the compression of content in the
519
repository. (Robert Collins)
521
* ``StreamSink`` and ``InterDifferingSerialiser`` will call
522
``Repository.pack`` with the hint returned by
523
``Repository.commit_write_group`` if the formats were different and the
524
repository can increase compression by doing a pack operation.

bzr 1.16 "It's yesterday in California" 2009-06-18
529
##################################################
530
:Codename: yesterday-in-california
534
This version of Bazaar contains the beta release of the new ``2a`` repository
535
format, suitable for testing by fearless, advanced users. This format or an
536
updated version of it will become the default format in Bazaar 2.0. Please
537
read the NEWS entry before even thinking about upgrading to the new format.
539
Also included are speedups for many operations on huge projects, a bug fix for
540
pushing stacked new stacked branches to smart servers and the usual bevy of
541
bug fixes and improvements.
544
Changes from 1.16rc1 to 1.16final
545
*********************************
547
* Fix the nested tree flag check so that upgrade from development formats to
548
2a can work correctly.
549
(Jelmer Vernooij, #388727)
551
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
552
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
553
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
559
* Display prompt on stderr (instead of stdout) when querying users so
560
that the output of commands can be safely redirected.
561
(Vincent Ladeuil, #376582)
567
* A new repository format ``2a`` has been added. This is a beta release
568
of the the brisbane-core (aka group-compress) project. This format now
569
suitable for wider testing by advanced users willing to deal with some
570
bugs. We would appreciate test reports, either positive or negative.
571
Format 2a is substantially smaller and faster for many operations on
572
many trees. This format or an updated version will become the default
575
This is a rich-root format, so this repository format can be used with
576
bzr-svn. Bazaar branches in previous non-rich-root formats can be
577
converted (including by merge, push and pull) to format 2a, but not vice
578
versa. We recommend upgrading previous development formats to 2a.
580
Upgrading to this format can take considerable time because it expands
581
and more concisely repacks the full history.
583
If you use stacked branches, you must upgrade the stacked branches
584
before the stacked-on branches. (See <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/374735>)
586
* ``--development7-rich-root`` is a new dev format, similar to ``--dev6``
587
but using a Revision serializer using bencode rather than XML.
588
(Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
590
* mail_client=claws now supports --body (and message body hooks). Also uses
591
configured from address. (Barry Warsaw)
597
* ``--development6-rich-root`` can now stack. (Modulo some smart-server
598
bugs with stacking and non default formats.)
599
(John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
601
* ``--development6-rich-root`` delays generating a delta index for the
602
first object inserted into a group. This has a beneficial impact on
603
``bzr commit`` since each committed texts goes to its own group. For
604
committing a 90MB file, it drops peak memory by about 200MB, and speeds
605
up commit from 7s => 4s. (John Arbash Meinel)
607
* Numerous operations are now faster for huge projects, i.e. those
608
with a large number of files and/or a large number of revisions,
609
particularly when the latest development format is used. These
610
operations (and improvements on OpenOffice.org) include:
612
* branch in a shared repository (2X faster)
613
* branch --no-tree (100X faster)
619
* Pyrex version of ``bencode`` support. This provides optimized support
620
for both encoding and decoding, and is now found at ``bzrlib.bencode``.
621
``bzrlib.utils.bencode`` is now deprecated.
622
(Alexander Belchenko, Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
628
* Bazaar can now pass attachment files to the mutt email client.
629
(Edwin Grubbs, #384158)
631
* Better message in ``bzr add`` output suggesting using ``bzr ignored`` to
632
see which files can also be added. (Jason Spashett, #76616)
634
* ``bzr pull -r 123`` from a stacked branch on a smart server no longer fails.
635
Also, the ``Branch.revision_history()`` API now works in the same
636
situation. (Andrew Bennetts, #380314)
638
* ``bzr serve`` on Windows no longer displays a traceback simply because a
639
TCP client disconnected. (Andrew Bennetts)
641
* Clarify the rules for locking and fallback repositories. Fix bugs in how
642
``RemoteRepository`` was handling fallbacks along with the
643
``_real_repository``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #375496)
645
* Fix a small bug with fetching revisions w/ ghosts into a new stacked
646
branch. Not often triggered, because it required ghosts to be part of
647
the fetched revisions, not in the stacked-on ancestry.
650
* Fix status and commit to work with content filtered trees, addressing
651
numerous bad bugs with line-ending support. (Ian Clatworthy, #362030)
653
* Fix problem of "directory not empty" when contending for a lock over
654
sftp. (Martin Pool, #340352)
656
* Fix rule handling so that eol is optional, not mandatory.
657
(Ian Clatworthy, #379370)
659
* Pushing a new stacked branch to a 1.15 smart server was broken due to a
660
bug in the ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` smart verb. This is fixed in
661
1.16, but required changes to the network protocol, so the
662
``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` verb has been removed and replaced with a
663
corrected ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex_1.16`` verb. 1.15 clients will
664
still work with a 1.16 server as they will fallback to slower (and
666
(Jonathan Lange, Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts, #385132)
668
* Reconcile can now deal with text revisions that originated in revisions
669
that are ghosts. (Jelmer Vernooij, #336749)
671
* Support cloning of branches with ghosts in the left hand side history.
672
(Jelmer Vernooij, #248540)
674
* The ''bzr diff'' now catches OSError from osutils.rmtree and logs a
675
helpful message to the trace file, unless the temp directory really was
676
removed (which would be very strange). Since the diff operation has
677
succeeded from the user's perspective, no output is written to stderr
678
or stdout. (Maritza Mendez, #363837)
680
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
681
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
682
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
683
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
688
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in Russian.
689
(Alexey Shtokalo, Alexander Iljin, Alexander Belchenko, Dmitry Vasiliev,
695
* Added osutils.parent_directories(). (Ian Clatworthy)
697
* ``bzrlib.progress.ProgressBar``, ``ChildProgress``, ``DotsProgressBar``,
698
``TTYProgressBar`` and ``child_progress`` are now deprecated; use
699
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` instead. (Martin Pool)
701
* ``graph.StackedParentsProvider`` is now a public API, replacing
702
``graph._StackedParentsProvider``. The api is now considered stable and ready
703
for external users. (Gary van der Merwe)
705
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is deprecated in favor of
706
``get_user_encoding``. (Alexander Belchenko)
708
* TreeTransformBase no longer assumes that limbo is provided via disk.
709
DiskTreeTransform now provides disk functionality. (Aaron Bentley)
714
* Remove ``weave.py`` script for accessing internals of old weave-format
715
repositories. (Martin Pool)
720
* The number of cores is now correctly detected on OSX. (John Szakmeister)
722
* The number of cores is also detected on Solaris and win32. (Vincent Ladeuil)
724
* The number of cores is also detected on FreeBSD. (Matthew Fuller)
733
The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming content
734
with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search. New command ``bzr
735
dpush``. Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two
736
revisions introduce the exact same line.

*********************************
747
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
748
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.

This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
750
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
752
Changes from 1.15rc1 to 1.15final
753
*********************************
760
* ``bzr ls`` is no longer recursive by default. To recurse, use the
761
new ``-R`` option. The old ``--non-recursive`` option has been removed.
762
If you alias ``ls`` to ``ls -R``, you can disable recursion using
763
``--no-recursive`` instead. (Ian Clatworthy)
768
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
769
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
772
* The new development format ``--development6-rich-root`` now supports
773
stacking. We chose not to use a new format marker, since old clients
774
will just fail to open stacked branches, the same as if we used a new
775
format flag. (John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
777
* Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two revisions
778
introduce the exact same line. See ``bzrlib.annotate._break_annotation_tie``
779
Be aware though that this is temporary, private (as indicated by the leading
780
'_') and a first step to address the problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #348459)
782
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
783
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
786
* ``bzr send`` will now check the ``child_submit_format`` setting in
787
the submit branch to determine what format to use, if none was
788
specified on the command-line. (Jelmer Vernooij)
793
* -Dhpss output now includes the number of VFS calls made to the remote
794
server. (Jonathan Lange)
796
* ``--coverage`` works for code running in threads too.
797
(Andrew Bennets, Vincent Ladeuil)
799
* ``bzr pull`` now has a ``--local`` option to only make changes to the
800
local branch, and not the bound master branch.
801
(Gary van der Merwe, #194716)
803
* ``bzr rm *`` is now as fast as ``bzr rm * --keep``. (Johan Walles, #180116)
808
* Adding now works properly when path contains a symbolic link.
809
(Geoff Bache, #183831)
811
* An error is now raised for unknown eol values. (Brian de Alwis, #358199)
813
* ``bzr merge --weave`` will now generate a conflict if one side deletes a
814
line, and the other side modifies the line. (John Arbash Meinel, #328171)
816
* ``bzr reconfigure --standalone`` no longer raises IncompatibleRepositories.
817
(Martin von Gagern, #248932)
819
* ``bzr send`` works to send emails again using MAPI.
820
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #346998)
822
* Check for missing parent inventories in StreamSink. This prevents
823
incomplete stacked branches being created by 1.13 bzr:// and
824
bzr+ssh:// clients (which have bug #354036). Instead, the server now
825
causes those clients to send the missing records. (Andrew Bennetts)
827
* Correctly handle http servers proposing multiple authentication schemes.
828
(Vincent Ladeuil, #366107)
830
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
831
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
833
* Fix a bug in the pure-python ``GroupCompress`` code when handling copies
834
longer than 64KiB. (John Arbash Meinel, #364900)
836
* Fix TypeError in running ``bzr break-lock`` on some URLs.
837
(Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #365891)
839
* Non-recursive ``bzr ls`` now works properly when a path is specified.
840
(Jelmer Vernooij, #357863)
842
* ssh usernames (defined in ~/.ssh/config) are honoured for bzr+ssh connections.
843
(Vincent Ladeuil, #367726)
845
* Several bugs related to unicode symlinks have been fixed and the test suite
846
enhanced to better catch regressions for them. (Vincent Ladeuil)
848
* The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming
849
content with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search: it assumes
850
that the client will make sure it is happy with what it got, and this
851
sort of mismatch is normal for stacked environments.
852
bzr 1.13.0/1 will stream from unstacked branches only - in that case not
853
getting all the content expected would be a bug. However the graph
854
search is how we figured out what we wanted, so a mismatch is both odd
855
and unrecoverable without starting over, and starting over will end up
856
with the same data as if we just permitted the mismatch. If data is
857
gc'd, doing a new search will find only the truncated data, so sending
858
only the truncated data seems reasonable. bzr versions newer than this
859
will stream from stacked branches and check the stream to find missing
860
content in the stacked-on branch, and thus will handle the situation
861
implicitly. (Robert Collins, #360791)
863
* Upgrading to, or fetching into a 'rich-root' format will now correctly
864
set the root data the same way that reconcile does.
865
(Robert Collins, #368921)
867
* Using unicode Windows API to obtain command-line arguments.
868
(Alexander Belchenko, #375934)
876
* ``InterPackRepo.fetch`` and ``RepoFetcher`` now raise ``NoSuchRevision``
877
instead of ``InstallFailed`` when they detect a missing revision.
878
``InstallFailed`` itself has been deleted. (Jonathan Lange)
880
* Not passing arguments to ``bzrlib.commands.main()`` will now grab the
881
arguments from ``osutils.get_unicode_argv()`` which has proper support
882
for unicode arguments on windows. Further, the supplied arguments are now
883
required to be unicode strings, rather than user_encoded strings.
884
(Alexander Belchenko)
889
* ``bzrlib.branch.Branch.set_parent`` is now present on the base branch
890
class and will call ``_set_parent_location`` after doing unicode
891
encoding. (Robert Collins)
893
* ``bzrlib.remote.RemoteBranch._set_parent_location`` will use a new verb
894
``Branch.set_parent_location`` removing further VFS operations.
897
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir._get_config`` now returns a ``TransportConfig``
898
or similar when the dir supports configuration settings. The base class
899
defaults to None. There is a matching new server verb
900
``BzrDir.get-config_file`` to reduce roundtrips for getting BzrDir
901
configuration. (Robert Collins)
903
* ``bzrlib.tests.ExtendedTestResult`` has new methods ``startTests``
904
called before the first test is started, ``done`` called after the last
905
test completes, and a new parameter ``strict``. (Robert Collins)
907
* ``-Dhpss`` when passed to bzr will cause a backtrace to be printed when
908
VFS operations are started on a smart server repository. This should not
909
occur on regular push and pull operations, and is a key indicator for
910
performance regressions. (Robert Collins)
912
* ``-Dlock`` when passed to the selftest (e.g. ``bzr -Dlock selftest``) will
913
cause mismatched physical locks to cause test errors rather than just
914
reporting to the screen. (Robert Collins)
916
* Fallback ``CredentialStore`` instances registered with ``fallback=True``
917
are now be able to provide credentials if obtaining credentials
918
via ~/.bazaar/authentication.conf fails. (Jelmer Vernooij,
919
Vincent Ladeuil, #321918)
921
* New hook ``Lock.lock_broken`` which runs when a lock is
922
broken. This is mainly for testing that lock/unlock are
923
balanced in tests. (Vincent Ladeuil)
925
* New MergeDirective hook 'merge_request_body' allows hooks to supply or
926
alter a body for the message produced by ``bzr send``.
928
* New smart server verb ``BzrDir.initialize_ex`` which implements a
929
refactoring to the core of clone allowing less round trips on new
930
branches. (Robert Collins)
932
* New method ``Tags.rename_revisions`` that can rename revision ids tags
933
are pointing at. (Jelmer Vernooij)
935
* Updated the bundled ``ConfigObj`` library to 4.6.0 (Matt Nordhoff)
940
* ``bzr selftest`` will now fail if lock/unlock are not correctly balanced in
941
tests. Using ``-Dlock`` will turn the related failures into warnings.

* A previously disabled code path to accelerate getting configuration
995
settings from a smart server has been reinstated. We think this *may*
996
cause a incompatibility with servers older than bzr 0.15. We intend
997
to issue a point release to address this if it turns out to be a
998
problem. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1000
* bzr no longer autodetects nested trees as 'tree-references'. They
1001
must now be explicitly added tree references. At the commandline, use
1002
join --reference instead of add. (Aaron Bentley)
1004
* The ``--long`` log format (the default) no longer shows merged
1005
revisions implicitly, making it consistent with the ``short`` and
1006
``line`` log formats. To see merged revisions for just a given
1007
revision, use ``bzr log -n0 -rX``. To see every merged revision,
1008
use ``bzr log -n0``. (Ian Clatworthy)
1013
* New formats ``1.14`` and ``1.14-rich-root`` supporting End-Of-Line
1014
(EOL) conversions, keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin)
1015
and generic content filtering. These formats replace the experimental
1016
``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root`` formats
1017
respectively, but have support for filtered views disabled.
1020
* New ``mv --auto`` option recognizes renames after they occur.
1023
* ``bzr`` can now get passwords from stdin without requiring a controlling
1024
terminal (i.e. by redirecting stdin). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1026
* ``bzr log`` now supports filtering of multiple files and directories
1027
and will show changes that touch any of them. Furthermore,
1028
directory filtering now shows the changes to any children of that
1029
directory, not just the directory object itself.
1030
(Ian Clatworthy, #97715)
1032
* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the
1033
shelf, via the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
1035
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
1038
* ``bzr xxx --usage`` where xxx is a command now shows a usage
1039
message and the options without the descriptive help sections
1040
(like Description and Examples). A message is also given
1041
explaining how to see the complete help, i.e. ``bzr help xxx``.
1044
* Content filters can now be used to provide custom conversion
1045
between the canonical format of content (i.e. as stored) and
1046
the convenience format of content (i.e. as created in working
1047
trees). See ``bzr help content-filters`` for further details.
1048
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
1050
* End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting
1051
content filtering. See ``bzr help eol`` for details.
1054
* Newly-blessed `join` command allows combining two trees into one.
1060
* A new format name alias ``default-rich-root`` has been added and
1061
points at the closest relative of the default format that supports
1062
rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
1064
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
1065
the data when the target repository does not need topological
1066
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
1067
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
1068
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1070
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
1071
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
1074
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
1075
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
1076
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
1078
* ``bzr log`` now has ``--include-merges`` as an alias for ``--levels 0``.

* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
1084
* IPv6 literals are accepted in URLs.

1090
* Prompt for user names if they are not in the configuration.
1091
(Jelmer Vernooij, #256612)
1093
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server
1094
now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
1097
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
1098
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
1099
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1101
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
1102
to "Ignoring files outside view. View is .." to reduce confusion
1103
about what was being considered and what was being ignored.
1106
* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
1107
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
1108
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
1109
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
1111
* The ``brisbane-core`` project has delivered its beta format
1112
``development6-rich-root``. This format is suitable for judicious
1113
testing by early adopters. In particular if you are benchmarking bzr
1114
performance please be sure to test using this format. At this stage
1115
more information is best obtained by contacting the Bazaar mailing list
1116
or IRC channel if you are interested in using this format. We will make
1117
end user documentation available closer to blessing the format as
1118
production ready. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Ian Clatworthy,

1121
* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!
1127
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
1128
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
1129
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
1130
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids

"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors

on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
1163
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
1165
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
1166
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
1167
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
1168
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1170
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
1172
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
1173
(Vincent Ladeuil, #346593)
1175
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
1176
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
1177
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
1178
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
1179
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
1181
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
1182
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
1183
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
1184
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
1185
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
1186
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
1187
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1189
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX. Several minor issues (mostly
1190
test related) have been fixed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355273).
1192
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
1193
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
1196
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
1197
(James Westby, #341558)
1199
* The help for the ``info`` command has been corrected.
1200
(Ian Clatworthy, #351931)
1202
* Upgrade will now use a sensible default format if the source repository
1203
uses rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #252908)
1208
* Expanded the index of the developer documentation. (Eric Siegerman)
1210
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
1212
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.
1213
(James Westby, #336998)
1218
* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous versions of bzr are now removed.
1221
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
1222
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
1225
* New abstract ``UIFactory`` method ``get_username`` which will be called to
1226
obtain the username to use when connecting to remote machines.
1229
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
1230
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
1231
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
1233
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
1234
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
1235
Meinel, Robert Collins)
1237
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
1238
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
1239
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
1240
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
1243
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
1244
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
1247
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
1250
* The ``Serializer`` class and the serializer ``format registry`` have moved
1251
from ``bzrlib.xml_serializer`` to ``bzrlib.serializer``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1253
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
1254
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
1255
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
1256
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1258
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
1259
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
1260
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
1265
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
1266
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
1267
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
1268
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
1269
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1271
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
1272
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
1274
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
1275
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
1276
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
1277
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
1283
* Added ``chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string maps.
1284
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1286
* Added ``bzrlib.chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string
1287
maps. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1289
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
1290
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
1291
streaming on the the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1293
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
1294
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
1295
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
1296
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1298
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
1299
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
1300
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
1301
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1303
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
1304
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
1305
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1307
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
1308
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
1309
dependency. (Robert Collins)
1311
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
1312
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
1313
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1315
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
1316
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
1319
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
1320
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
1321
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
1323
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
1324
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1326
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
1327
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
1328
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1330
* New hook ``RioVersionInfoBuilder.revision``, allowing extra entries
1331
to be added to the stanza that is printed for a particular revision.
1334
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
1335
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
1336
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1338
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
1339
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
1340
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
1341
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
1342
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
1344
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
1345
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
1346
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
1347
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1349
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
1350
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
1351
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
1352
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1354
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
1355
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
1356
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1358
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
1359
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
1362
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
1363
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
1364
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
1366
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
1367
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
1368
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
1369
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
1370
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
1372
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
1373
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only linux
1374
machine work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,
1377
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
1378
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
1379
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
1380
desired. (Robert Collins)
1382
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include
1383
information about ghosts when the special revision ``include-missing:``
1384
is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
1385
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1387
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
1388
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
1389
regardless of ``InterRepository``.

:1.13rc1: 2009-03-10
1401
GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``. Debug
1402
flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``. Lightweight checkouts and

stacked branches should both be much faster over remote connections.
1405
Changes From 1.13.1 to 1.13.2
1406
*****************************
1408
A regression was found in the 1.13.1 release. When bzr 1.13.1 and earlier push
1409
a stacked branch they do not take care to push all the parent inventories for
1410
the transferred revisions. This means that a smart server serving that branch
1411
often cannot calculate inventory deltas for the branch (because smart server
1412
does not/cannot open fallback repositories). Prior to 1.13 the server did not
1413
have a verb to stream revisions out of a repository, so that's why this bug has
1419
* Fix for bug 354036 ErrorFromSmartServer - AbsentContentFactory object has no
1420
attribute 'get_bytes_as' exception while pulling from Launchpad
1421
(Jean-Francois Roy, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1423
Changes From 1.13final to 1.13.1
1424
********************************
1426
A couple regessions where found in the 1.13 release. The pyrex-generated C
1427
extensions are missing from the .tar.gz and .zip files. Documentation on how
1428
to generate GNU ChangeLogs is wrong.
1433
* Change ``./bzr``'s ``_script_version`` to match ./bzrlib/__init__.py
1434
version_info. (Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, #345232)
1436
* Distribution archives for 1.13 do not contain generated C extension modules
1437
(Jean-Francois Roy, Bob Tanner, #344465)
1439
* GNU ChangeLog output can now be produced by bzr log --format gnu-changelog is
1440
incorrect (Deejay, Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #343928)
1442
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
1444
Changes From 1.13rc1 to 1.13final
1445
*********************************
1447
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
1448
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
1449
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
1451
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
1452
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
1454
Compatibility Breaks
1455
********************
1457
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
1458
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
1459
command may need to be adjusted.
1460
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1465
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
1466
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
1467
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
1469
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
1472
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
1473
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
1474
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
1477
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
1478
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
1480
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
1481
(John Arbash Meinel)
1483
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
1484
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
1486
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernoij)
1488
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
1489
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
1492
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
1498
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
1499
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
1500
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
1501
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
1502
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
1503
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
1504
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
1505
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
1508
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
1509
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
1511
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
1512
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
1513
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
1515
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
1516
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
1518
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
1519
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
1520
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
1523
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
1524
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
1525
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1527
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
1528
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
1529
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
1530
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1532
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
1535
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
1536
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
1538
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
1539
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
1541
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
1542
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
1543
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
1545
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
1550
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
1551
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
1553
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
1554
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
1555
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
1557
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
1558
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
1559
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
1561
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
1562
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
1564
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
1565
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
1568
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
1569
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
1570
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
1572
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
1573
(BenoƮt PIERRE, #303569)
1575
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
1576
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
1578
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
1579
(James Westby, #174539)
1581
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
1582
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
1584
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
1585
error branching from old repositories.
1586
(Martin Pool, #321695)
1588
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
1589
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
1591
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
1592
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
1593
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
1594
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1596
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
1597
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko,
1600
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
1601
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
1603
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
1604
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
1606
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
1607
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
1608
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1610
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
1611
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
1613
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.
1614
(BenoƮt Pierre, Aaron Bentley)
1619
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
1620
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
1621
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
1624
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
1625
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
1627
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.
1628
(Daniel Watkins, #327421, #327425)
1633
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
1634
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
1635
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
1636
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
1637
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
1639
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
1640
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1642
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
1643
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
1644
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
1645
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
1646
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
1647
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
1649
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
1650
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
1652
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
1653
"author" argument being deprecated.
1655
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
1657
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
1658
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
1659
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
1660
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
1662
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
1663
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
1664
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
1666
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
1667
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
1668
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
1670
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
1671
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
1673
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
1674
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
1675
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
1676
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
1681
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
1682
free of virtual file system methods.
1683
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1685
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
1686
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
1687
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
1689
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
1690
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
1691
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
1692
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
1693
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
1694
(Robert Collins, #334187)
1696
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
1698
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
1699
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
1701
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
1702
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
1703
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
1704
stream the operation.
1705
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1707
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
1708
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
1710
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
1711
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
1712
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
1713
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
1714
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
1716
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
1717
branch object. (Robert Collins)
1719
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
1720
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
1721
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
1723
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
1724
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
1727
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
1730
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
1731
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
1732
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1734
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
1735
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
1736
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1738
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
1739
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
1740
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1742
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
1743
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
1744
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1746
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
1747
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
1748
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
1749
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
1750
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
1752
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
1753
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
1754
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
1755
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
1756
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
1757
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
1759
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
1760
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
1761
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
1762
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
1763
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1765
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
1766
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1768
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
1769
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
1771
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
1772
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
1773
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
1774
to access private data in record to obtain content more
1775
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
1777
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
1778
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.

:Codename: 1234567890
1787
:1.12rc1: 2009-02-10
1789
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
1790
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
1791
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
1792
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
1793
by showing the rate of network IO.
1795
Changes from RC1 to Final
1796
*************************
1798
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
1799
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
1801
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
1802
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
1804
Compatibility Breaks
1805
********************
1807
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
1808
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
1809
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
1810
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
1812
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
1813
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
1814
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
1817
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
1818
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
1819
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
1820
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1822
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
1823
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
1824
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
1827
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1832
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
1833
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
1834
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
1837
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
1838
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
1839
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
1841
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
1842
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
1843
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
1844
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
1845
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
1846
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
1847
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
1848
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
1849
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
1855
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
1858
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
1861
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
1862
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
1863
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
1865
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
1866
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
1867
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
1868
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
1869
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
1871
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
1872
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
1874
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
1875
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
1876
level for better precision.
1879
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
1880
rules. (Marius Kruger)
1882
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
1883
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
1884
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
1886
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
1887
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
1888
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
1891
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
1892
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
1893
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
1898
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
1900
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
1902
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
1903
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
1904
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
1906
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
1907
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
1908
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
1909
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
1910
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
1911
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
1913
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
1914
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
1916
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
1917
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
1919
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
1920
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
1921
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
1923
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
1924
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
1925
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
1928
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
1929
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
1931
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
1932
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
1933
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
1934
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
1936
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
1937
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
1939
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1941
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)
1946
* Improved plugin developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
1951
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
1952
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
1955
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
1956
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1958
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
1959
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1961
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
1962
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1964
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
1965
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
1966
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
1967
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
1969
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
1970
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
1971
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
1976
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
1977
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
1978
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
1979
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
1980
compile buffers, are such an example).
1983
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
1984
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
1987
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
1988
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
1989
efficient way of doing the mapping.
1992
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
1993
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
1995
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
1996
formatters to retrict the output.

##############################
2003
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
2004
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
2005
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
2006
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
2007
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
2009
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
2010
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
2013
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
2014
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.
2019
* Fix failing test when CompiledChunksToLines is not available.
2022
* Stacked branches don't repeatedly open their transport connection.
2023
(John Arbash Meinel)
2027
bzr 1.11rc1 "Eyes up!" 2009-01-09
2028
#################################
2033
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
2034
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2039
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
2040
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
2042
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
2043
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
2044
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
2045
implement other plugins.
2048
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
2054
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
2055
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
2057
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
2058
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
2060
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
2061
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
2062
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
2063
processes which drag in shell extensions.
2066
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
2067
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
2068
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
2069
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
2070
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
2072
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
2073
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
2074
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
2075
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
2076
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
2081
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
2082
control directory. (#139691)
2084
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
2085
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
2087
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
2088
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
2090
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
2091
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
2092
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
2094
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
2095
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
2097
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
2098
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
2099
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
2101
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
2102
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
2104
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
2107
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
2108
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
2109
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
2111
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
2112
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
2114
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
2115
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
2116
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
2118
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
2119
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
2120
in the appropriate sections.
2121
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
2123
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
2124
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
2125
(John Arbash meinel)
2127
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
2128
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
2130
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
2131
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
2133
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
2134
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
2136
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
2137
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
2138
work better with how it splits its requests.
2139
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
2141
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
2142
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
2143
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
2145
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
2148
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
2150
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
2151
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
2153
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
2159
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
2160
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
2161
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
2167
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
2168
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
2169
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
2170
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2172
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
2173
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
2175
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
2176
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
2177
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
2178
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
2180
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
2181
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
2182
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
2183
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
2188
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
2189
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
2190
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
2192
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
2193
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
2194
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
2195
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
2197
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
2198
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
2199
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
2205
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
2206
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
2207
(John Arbash Meinel)
2209
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
2210
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
2211
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
2212
(John Arbash Meinel)
2214
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
2215
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
2216
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
2217
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
2219
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
2220
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
2221
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
2223
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
2224
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
2225
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
2226
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
2228
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
2229
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
2230
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
2231
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
2232
(John Arbash Meinel)
2234
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
2235
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
2237
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
2238
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
2239
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
2241
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
2242
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
2243
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
2244
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
2246
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
2247
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
2248
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
2249
(John Arbash Meinel)
2251
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
2252
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
2253
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
2254
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
2255
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
2256
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
2257
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
2259
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
2260
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)
2267
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
2268
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
2269
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
2270
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
2273
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
2278
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
2279
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
2280
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
2281
(Martin Pool, #303856)
2283
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
2284
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
2285
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
2286
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
2287
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)

######################
2293
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
2294
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
2295
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
2296
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
2297
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
2302
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
2303
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2305
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
2311
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
2312
history just to set the last revision info.
2313
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2315
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
2316
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
2317
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
2318
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2320
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
2321
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
2322
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
2323
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
2324
(John Arbash Meinel)
2326
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
2327
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2329
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
2330
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
2331
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
2332
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
2333
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
2335
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
2336
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
2337
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
2338
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
2343
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
2344
(Martin Pool, #289148)
2346
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
2347
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
2349
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
2350
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
2351
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
2352
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
2354
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
2355
starting with a dotted revno.
2356
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
2358
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
2359
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
2360
(Martin Pool, #288751)
2362
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
2363
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
2364
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
2366
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
2367
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
2368
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
2370
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
2371
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
2372
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
2373
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
2375
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
2376
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
2377
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
2379
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
2380
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
2385
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
2386
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
2387
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
2388
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
2390
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
2391
have changed incompatibly.
2393
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
2394
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
2395
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
2396
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
2397
don't need to change.
2399
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
2400
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
2405
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
2406
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
2408
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
2414
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
2415
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
2416
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
2417
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
2418
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
2419
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
2424
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
2425
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
2427
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
2429
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
2430
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.

#####################
2440
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
2441
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
2443
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
2444
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
2445
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
2446
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
2451
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
2452
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
2453
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
2454
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
2455
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
2456
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
2458
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
2459
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
2461
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
2462
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
2463
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
2465
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
2466
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
2467
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
2470
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
2471
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
2473
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
2474
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
2476
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
2477
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
2479
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
2480
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
2481
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
2482
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
2483
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
2484
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
2485
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
2486
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
2487
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
2488
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
2493
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
2494
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
2496
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
2497
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
2499
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
2500
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
2501
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
2503
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
2504
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
2505
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
2507
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
2508
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
2509
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
2511
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
2512
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
2513
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
2514
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
2515
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
2516
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
2518
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
2519
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
2521
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
2522
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
2524
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
2525
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
2526
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
2527
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
2528
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
2530
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
2531
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
2532
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
2533
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
2538
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
2543
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
2548
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
2549
configuration of authetication credentials.
2555
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
2556
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
2557
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
2558
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
2559
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
2564
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
2565
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
2570
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
2571
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
2574
bzr 1.8rc1 2008-10-07
2575
#####################
2580
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
2581
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
2582
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
2583
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
2584
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
2586
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
2587
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
2589
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
2590
server. (Marius Kruger)
2592
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
2593
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
2594
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
2595
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
2596
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
2597
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
2602
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
2603
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
2604
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
2606
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
2611
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
2612
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
2613
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
2614
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
2616
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
2617
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
2620
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
2621
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
2624
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
2627
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
2629
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
2630
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
2632
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
2633
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
2635
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
2636
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
2637
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
2638
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
2639
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
2640
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
2641
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
2642
operations. (Robert Collins)
2644
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
2646
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
2647
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
2648
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
2653
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
2654
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
2655
(Martin Pool, #279381)
2657
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
2658
repository now preserves the repository format.
2659
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
2661
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
2662
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
2664
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
2665
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
2667
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
2669
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
2671
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
2674
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
2675
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
2676
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
2678
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
2679
is in a different repository than the current one.
2680
(LukÔŔ Lalinský, #144421)
2682
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
2683
(David Futcher, #242106)
2685
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
2686
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2688
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
2689
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
2690
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
2691
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
2693
* Trivial documentation fix.
2694
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
2696
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
2697
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
2698
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
2699
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
2704
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
2709
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
2710
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
2711
to use. (Robert Collins)
2713
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
2714
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
2715
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
2717
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
2718
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
2719
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
2720
they want. (Robert Collins)
2725
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
2726
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
2727
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
2729
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
2730
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
2733
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
2736
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
2737
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
2739
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
2745
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
2746
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
2748
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
2749
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
2750
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
2752
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
2753
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
2754
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
2756
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
2757
specifier as a revision tree object. (LukÔŔ Lalinský)
2759
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
2760
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
2762
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
2763
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
2765
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
2766
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
2767
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
2768
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept

This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles

2788
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
2789
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
2790

2791
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.

changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
2857
(LukÔŔ Lalinský, #74101)
2859
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
2860
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
2861
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
2866
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
2867
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
2869
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
2874
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
2875
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
2878
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
2879
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
2881
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
2882
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
2885
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
2886
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
2887
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
2888
(John Arbash Meinel)
2890
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
2891
(Martin Pool, #261315)
2893
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
2894
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
2895
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
2896
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
2897
(John Arbash Meinel)
2899
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
2900
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
2901
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
2902
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
2903
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
2904
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
2905
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
2906
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
2907
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
2908
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
2913
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
2914
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
2916
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
2917
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
2918
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
2920
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
2921
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
2922
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
2924
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
2925
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
2926
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
2927
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
2928
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
2929
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
2931
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
2932
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
2934
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
2935
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
2937
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
2938
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
2939
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
2940
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
2941
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
2942
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
2944
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
2945
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
2947
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
2948
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
2950
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
2951
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
2952
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
2953
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
2955
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
2956
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
2958
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
2959
assuming the host name is ascii.
2960
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
2962
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
2963
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
2968
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
2973
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
2975
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
2976
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
2977
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
2980
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
2981
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2983
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
2984
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
2986
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
2987
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
2992
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
2993
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
2994
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
2995
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
2997
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
3001
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
3002
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
3003
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3005
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
3011
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
3012
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
3015
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
3016
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
3017
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
3018
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
3019
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3021
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
3022
is unknown in both source and target.
3023
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
3025
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
3026
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
3027
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
3028
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
3030
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
3031
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
3032
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
3033
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

####################
3039
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
3040
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
3041
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
3044
bzr 1.6.1rc2 2008-09-03
3045
#######################
3050
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
3051
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
3052
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
3053
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
3056
bzr 1.6.1rc1 2008-08-29
3057
#######################
3059
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
3060
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
3061
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
3062
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
3063
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
3064
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
3065
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
3066
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
3067
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
3068
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
3069
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
3070
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
3075
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
3076
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
3077
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
3078
start of the string (causing more copies).
3079
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
3080
especially for projects with large files.
3081
(John Arbash Meinel)
3083
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
3084
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
3085
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
3086
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
3087
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
3089
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
3090
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
3091
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
3092
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
3093
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.
3094
(John Arbash Meinel, #262333)
3100
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
3101
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
3102
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
3103
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
3104
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
3105
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
3106
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
3107
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
3108
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
3111
bzr 1.6rc5 2008-08-19
3112
#####################
3117
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
3118
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
3119
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
3120
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
3121
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
3124
bzr 1.6rc4 2008-08-18
3125
#####################
3130
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
3131
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
3132
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
3135
bzr 1.6rc3 2008-08-14
3136
#####################
3141
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
3142
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
3148
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
3149
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
3150
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
3156
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
3157
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
3158
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
3160
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
3161
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
3162
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
3163
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
3164
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
3165
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
3166
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
3169
bzr 1.6rc2 2008-08-13
3170
#####################
3172
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
3178
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
3179
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
3181
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
3182
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
3185
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
3186
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
3187
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
3188
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
3189
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
3191
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
3192
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3194
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
3195
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
3197
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
3198
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
3200
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
3201
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
3202
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
3203
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
3204
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
3205
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
3208
bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
3209
#####################
3211
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
3212
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
3213
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
3214
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
3215
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
3220
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
3221
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
3222
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
3227
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
3228
check. (Daniel Watkins)
3230
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
3231
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
3233
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
3234
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
3235
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3237
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
3240
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
3241
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
3242
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
3243
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
3244
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
3245
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
3246
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
3248
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
3249
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
3250
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
3255
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
3256
physical repository boundaries.
3257
(Martin Pool, #252428)
3259
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
3260
(Martin Pool, #206258)
3262
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
3263
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
3266
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
3269
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
3270
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
3271
that Python is running from.
3272
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
3274
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
3275
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
3276
(Robert Collins, #150438)
3278
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
3279
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
3281
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
3282
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
3283
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
3285
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
3286
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
3288
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
3289
(James Westby, #248448)
3294
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
3295
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
3296
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
3299
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
3300
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
3303
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
3304
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
3305
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
3306
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
3307
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
3308
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
3311
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
3312
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
3314
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
3315
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
3316
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
3317
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
3318
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
3319
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
3324
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
3325
putting together a real history without having to create a full
3326
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
3327
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
3328
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
3329
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3331
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
3332
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
3333
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
3335
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
3338
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
3339
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
3341
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.

#######################
3348
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
3349
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
3350
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
3351
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
3357
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
3358
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
3359
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
3361
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
3362
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
3363
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
3364
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
3365
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
3368
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
3370
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
3371
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
3372
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
3378
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
3379
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
3382
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
3383
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
3384
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
3385
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
3387
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
3388
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
3389
(Christophe Troestler)
3391
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
3392
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
3394
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
3395
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
3396
faster. The new request method name is
3397
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3402
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
3403
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
3404
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
3405
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
3406
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
3408
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
3409
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
3411
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
3412
requires a branch to be present.
3413
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
3415
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
3417
(Martin Pool, #205230)
3419
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
3420
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
3421
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
3422
(Martin Pool, #240161)
3424
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
3425
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)

* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
3432
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
3433
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
3434
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
3435
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
3437
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
3438
(Martin Pool, #172870)
3440
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
3441
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
3443
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
3445
(Matt McClure, #209281)
3447
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
3448
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
3450
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
3451
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
3456
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
3459
* Updated developer documentation.
3465
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
3466
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
3468
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
3469
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
3470
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
3471
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
3476
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
3477
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
3478
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
3479
Repository docstring for more details.
3482
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
3483
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
3484
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
3486
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
3487
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
3490
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
3491
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
3492
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
3493
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
3498
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
3499
(Alexander Belchenko)
3501
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
3502
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
3503
containing a given location.
3506
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
3507
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
3508
storage. (Robert Collins)
3510
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
3513
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
3514
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.

bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
3519
#######################
3521
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
3522
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
3523
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
3529
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
3530
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
3531
reading from the repository.)
3532
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
3534
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
3535
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
3537
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
3538
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
3541
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
3542
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
3543
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
3545
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
3546
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
3547
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
3549
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
3550
``bzr send``. (LukÔŔ Lalinský, #210218)
3552
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
3553
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
3554
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
3555
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
3560
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
3562
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
3563
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
3564
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
3567
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
3568
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
3573
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
3578
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
3579
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
3584
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
3585
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
3586
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
3587
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
3588
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
3590
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
3591
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
3596
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
3597
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
3599
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
3600
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
3602
bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
3603
#######################
3606
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
3607
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
3608
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
3609
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
3610
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
3611
and future extensions.
3614
Notes When Upgrading
3615
********************
3617
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
3618
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
3619
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
3620
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
3621
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
3622
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
3623
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
3624
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
3629
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
3630
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
3631
(John Arbash Meinel)
3636
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
3637
load. (James Westby)
3642
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
3643
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
3644
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
3645
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
3647
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
3648
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
3649
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
3651
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
3652
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
3654
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
3655
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
3656
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
3658
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
3659
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
3660
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
3661
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
3662
step closer to not using full revision history.
3663
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
3668
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
3669
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
3671
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
3672
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
3674
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
3675
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
3677
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
3678
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
3679
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
3680
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
3682
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
3683
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
3684
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
3685
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
3687
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
3688
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
3689
in use by another process.
3692
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
3693
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
3694
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
3695
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
3697
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
3698
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
3700
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
3701
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
3702
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
3704
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
3705
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
3706
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
3708
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
3710
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
3712
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
3713
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
3715
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
3716
under vim on Mac OS X.
3717
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
3719
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
3720
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
3725
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
3726
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
3728
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
3729
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
3732
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
3733
and about use of Python reprs.
3734
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
3736
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
3741
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
3744
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
3745
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
3747
* New helper function for splitting test suites
3748
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
3753
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
3754
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
3755
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
3756
(John Arbash Meinel)
3761
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
3762
instead. (Martin Pool)
3764
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
3765
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
3766
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
3767
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
3769
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
3770
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
3771
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
3772
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
3773
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
3775
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
3776
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
3777
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
3778
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
3779
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
3780
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
3782
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
3783
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
3786
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
3787
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
3790
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
3791
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
3792
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
3793
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
3795
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
3796
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
3797
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
3799
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
3800
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
3801
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
3802
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
3803
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
3806
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
3807
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
3808
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
3809
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
3812
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
3813
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
3814
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
3815
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
3816
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
3818
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
3825
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
3826
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
3827
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
3832
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
3833
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
3834
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
3839
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
3840
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
3844
bzr 1.5rc1 2008-05-09

#####################
3850
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
3851
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
3852
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
3853
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
3858
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
3859
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
3861
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
3862
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
3864
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
3870
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
3871
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
3873
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
3874
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
3876
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
3877
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
3878
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
3880
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
3881
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
3882
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
3884
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
3887
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
3888
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
3890
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
3891
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
3893
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
3894
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
3896
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
3897
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
3899
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
3900
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
3901
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
3903
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
3904
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
3906
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
3907
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
3909
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
3910
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
3911
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
3912
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
3914
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
3915
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
3918
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
3919
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
3920
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
3922
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
3923
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
3924
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
3925
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
3926
every revision each side had in common.
3927
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3929
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
3930
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
3932
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
3933
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
3934
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
3935
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
3940
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
3941
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
3942
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
3943
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
3945
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
3947
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
3949
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
3950
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
3955
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
3956
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
3957
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
3959
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
3960
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
3961
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
3962
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
3964
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
3965
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3967
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
3968
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
3969
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
3970
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3972
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
3973
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
3974
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
3975
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
3980
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
3981
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
3982
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
3984
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
3986
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
3987
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
3989
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
3990
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3992
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
3993
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
3998
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
3999
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
4000
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
4002
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
4003
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
4004
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
4007
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
4008
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
4011
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.
4018
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
4019
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
4020
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
4021
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
4022
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
4023
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
4024
and faster performance.
4029
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
4030
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
4031
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

#####################
4041
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
4042
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
4043
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
4045
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
4046
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
4048
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
4049
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
4051
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
4052
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
4053
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
4054
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
4055
every revision each side had in common.

4065
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
4067
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
4068
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
4070
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
4071
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
4072
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
4074
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
4075
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
4076
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
4077
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
4078
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
4079
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
4082
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
4083
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
4084
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
4085
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
4090
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
4092
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
4093
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
4094
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
4096
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
4097
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
4098
See the User Reference for signature details.
4099
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
4101
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
4102
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
4107
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
4108
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
4109
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
4110
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
4112
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
4113
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
4115
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
4116
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
4117
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
4120
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
4123
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
4124
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
4125
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
4127
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
4130
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
4131
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
4133
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
4134
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
4136
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
4137
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
4138
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
4140
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
4141
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
4142
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
4143
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
4144
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
4146
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
4147
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
4149
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
4150
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
4155
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
4156
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
4157
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
4158
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
4159
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
4160
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
4162
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
4163
directories, not only files. (LukÔŔ Lalinský, #107967)
4165
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
4166
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
4167
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
4169
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
4170
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
4172
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
4173
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
4174
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
4175
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4177
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
4178
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
4179
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
4180
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
4181
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
4183
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
4185
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
4186
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
4188
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
4190
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
4191
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
4193
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
4194
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
4199
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
4201
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
4203
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
4205
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
4210
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
4211
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
4212
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
4214
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
4215
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
4216
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
4217
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
4219
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
4220
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
4221
release. (James Westby)
4223
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
4226
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
4228
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
4229
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
4231
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
4232
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
4234
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
4235
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
4237
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
4238
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
4239
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
4241
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
4242
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
4243
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
4244
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
4246
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
4247
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
4248
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
4249
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
4251
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
4252
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
4253
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
4254
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
4255
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
4256
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
4258
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
4259
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
4260
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
4262
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
4263
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
4265
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
4266
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
4269
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
4270
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
4272
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
4273
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
4275
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
4276
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
4278
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
4279
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
4280
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
4282
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
4283
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
4284
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
4285
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
4286
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
4287
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
4292
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
4293
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
4294
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
4295
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
4297
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
4298
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
4299
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
4300
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
4304
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
4305
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
4308
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
4309
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
4311
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
4313
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
4314
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
4315
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
4320
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
4322
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
4325
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
4326
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
4327
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
4328
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
4329
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
4330
(Martin Pool, #109520)
4332
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
4333
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
4335
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
4336
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
4337
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
4338
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
4340
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
4341
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
4343
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
4344
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
4386
********************
4388
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
4389
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
4394
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
4395
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
4396
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
4397
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
4400
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
4401
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
4402
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
4403
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
4404
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
4405
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
4407
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
4408
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
4409
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
4410
(Alexander Belchenko)
4412
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
4414
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
4415
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
4420
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
4421
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
4423
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
4424
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
4430
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
4432
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
4434
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
4435
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
4436
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
4438
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
4439
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
4441
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
4442
to. (Daniel Watkins)
4444
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
4445
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
4446
(Alexander Belchenko)
4448
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
4449
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
4450
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
4451
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
4453
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
4456
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
4457
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
4458
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
4459
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
4460
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
4465
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
4466
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
4467
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
4468
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
4470
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
4471
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
4473
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
4474
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
4476
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
4477
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
4478
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
4480
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
4481
(#198793, John Ferlito)
4483
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
4486
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
4487
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
4489
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
4491
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
4493
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
4494
symlinks (James Henstridge)
4496
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
4497
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
4499
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
4500
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
4502
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
4503
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
4505
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
4506
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
4508
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
4509
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
4514
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
4515
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
4520
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
4521
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
4522
(Alexander Belchenko)
4527
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
4529
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
4530
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
4536
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
4537
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
4538
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
4540
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
4541
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
4542
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
4543
(Alexander Belchenko)
4545
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
4546
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
4547
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
4548
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
4550
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
4551
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
4552
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
4555
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
4556
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
4557
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
4559
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
4560
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
4561
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
4563
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
4564
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
4565
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
4566
format. (Robert Collins)
4575
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)

Notes When Upgrading
4582
********************
4584
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
4585
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
4586
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
4587
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
4588
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
4594
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
4595
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
4597
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
4598
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
4599
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
4601
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
4602
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
4603
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
4604
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
4605
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
4606
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
4612
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
4613
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4615
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
4616
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
4617
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
4620
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
4621
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
4622
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
4623
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
4624
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
4626
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
4627
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
4628
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
4629
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
4630
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
4631
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
4632
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
4633
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
4638
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
4639
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
4641
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
4642
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
4644
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
4645
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
4647
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
4648
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
4649
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
4651
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
4652
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
4653
(John Arbash Meinel)
4658
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
4659
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
4661
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
4662
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
4664
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
4665
``--template`` (LukÔŔ Lalinský)
4667
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
4668
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
4669
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
4671
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
4672
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
4673
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
4675
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
4676
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
4678
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
4679
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
4680
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
4681
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
4682
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
4684
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
4686
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
4687
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
4690
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
4691
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
4693
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
4694
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
4696
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
4697
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
4699
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
4700
more characters which should be considered valid.
4701
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
4703
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
4704
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
4706
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
4707
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
4712
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
4713
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
4715
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
4716
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
4722
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
4723
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
4729
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
4730
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
4731
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
4733
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
4734
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
4735
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
4737
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
4738
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
4739
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
4740
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
4742
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
4744
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
4745
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
4746
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
4747
server. (Robert Collins)
4749
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
4750
operate. (Robert Collins)
4752
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
4753
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
4754
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
4756
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
4757
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
4758
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
4759
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
4761
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
4762
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
4764
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
4765
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
4766
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
4768
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
4769
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
4771
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
4772
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
4774
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
4775
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
4776
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
4777
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

4791
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
4792
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
4793
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
4794
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
4796
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
4797
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
4798
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
4799
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
4804
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
4807
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
4810
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
4811
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)

* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (LukÔŔ Lalinský,
4819
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to

4821
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
4823
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
4825
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
4826
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
4827
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
4828
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
4829
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
4831
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
4832
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
4833
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
4835
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
4836
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
4838
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.

* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
4843
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
4845
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
4848

4866
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
4867
``log --timezone``. (LukÔŔ Lalinský, #178722)

4870
redirected to a pipe. (LukÔŔ Lalinský)

* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
4873
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)

4876
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.

* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
4907
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
4908

* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
4912
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
4913
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
4918
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
4921
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
4922
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
4923
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
4924

support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4949
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
4958
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
4959

4960
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
4962

Notes When Upgrading
5135
********************
5137
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
5138
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
5139
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
5140
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
5142
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
5143
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
5145
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
5146
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
5148
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
5149
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
5150
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
5151
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
5152
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
5153
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
5154
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
5155
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
5156
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
5157
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
5158
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
5159
from any tree without problems.
5160
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
5165
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
5166
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
5167
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
5169
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
5170
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
5176
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
5177
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
5178
supported transports.
5181
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
5182
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
5183
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
5185
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
5186
(Robert Collins, #154173)
5188
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
5189
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
5190
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
5191
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
5193
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
5194
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
5199
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
5200
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
5201
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
5202
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5204
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
5205
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
5206
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
5207
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
5209
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
5210
(Robert Collins, #88319)
5212
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
5213
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
5215
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
5216
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
5218
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
5219
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
5225
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
5228
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
5229
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
5232
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
5233
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
5234
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
5235
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
5237
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
5238
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
5239
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
5240
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
5248
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
5249
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
5251
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
5252
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
5254
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
5255
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
5257
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
5258
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
5260
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
5261
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
5263
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
5264
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
5266
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
5267
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
5269
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
5272
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
5273
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
5275
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
5276
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
5277
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
5279
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
5280
(LukÔŔ Lalinský, #172598)
5282
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
5283
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
5285
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
5286
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
5288
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
5289
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
5291
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
5292
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
5293
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
5294
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
5296
(Martin Pool, #164637)
5298
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
5299
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
5300
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
5302
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
5303
(Robert Collins, #161240)
5305
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
5307
(Martin Pool, #164443)
5309
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
5310
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
5312
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
5313
specify a port in urls.
5314
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
5316
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
5317
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
5319
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
5320
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
5322
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
5323
(Aaron Bentley, LukÔŔ Lalinský, #136890)
5325
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
5326
(Robert Collins, #153789)
5328
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
5329
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
5330
(Robert Collins, #165304).
5332
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
5334
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
5335
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
5337
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
5340
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
5341
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
5343
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
5344
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
5346
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
5347
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
5348
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
5350
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
5351
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
5353
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
5354
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
5355
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
5356
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
5358
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
5359
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
5361
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
5362
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
5363
replaced by '?'. (LukÔŔ Lalinský, #151844)
5365
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
5366
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
5368
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
5369
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
5371
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
5372
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
5377
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
5378
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
5380
* The return value of
5381
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
5382
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
5383
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
5384
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
5386
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
5389
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
5390
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
5397
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
5398
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
5399
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
5402
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
5403
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
5405
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
5414
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
5417
bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29

######################
5423
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
5424
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
5426
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
5427
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
5428
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
5429
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
5430
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
5431
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
5432
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
5433
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
5434
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
5435
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
5436
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
5437
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
5443
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
5444
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
5445
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
5446
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
5447
commands. (Robert Collins)
5449
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
5450
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
5451
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
5454
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
5456
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
5457
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
5459
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
5460
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
5463
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
5464
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
5465
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
5470
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
5471
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
5473
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
5474
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
5476
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
5477
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
5478
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
5479
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
5481
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
5484
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
5485
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
5486
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
5487
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
5489
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
5490
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
5492
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
5493
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
5495
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
5496
the contents. (Robert Collins)
5498
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
5499
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
5504
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
5505
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
5507
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
5508
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
5510
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
5511
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
5513
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
5514
(Martin Pool, #63894)
5516
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
5517
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
5522
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
5524
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
5530
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
5531
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
5532
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
5534
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
5535
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
5537
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
5538
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
5540
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
5541
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
5542
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
5543
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
5545
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
5546
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
5547
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
5548
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
5549
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
5551
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
5552
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
5554
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
5556
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
5558
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
5559
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
5561
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
5562
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
5564
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
5565
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
5567
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
5568
contains a symbolic link.
5569
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
5571
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
5572
(James Westby, #140615)
5574
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
5575
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
5576
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
5578
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
5579
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
5580
(Martin Pool, #144633)
5582
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5584
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
5585
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
5587
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
5589
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
5591
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
5592
directory to detect leaking tests.
5593
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
5595
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
5596
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
5597
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
5599
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
5602
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
5603
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
5605
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
5611
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
5612
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
5614
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
5615
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
5616
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
5618
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
5619
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
5620
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
5622
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
5623
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
5625
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
5626
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
5628
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
5629
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
5632
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
5633
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
5635
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
5636
class that needs it.
5639
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
5640
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
5642
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
5643
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
5644
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
5646
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
5647
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
5648
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
5651
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
5652
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
5653
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
5654
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
5660
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
5661
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
5662
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
5664
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
5665
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
5666
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
5667
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
5669
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
5670
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
5673
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
5674
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
5675
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
5677
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
5678
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
5679
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
5681
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
5682
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
5684
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
5685
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
5686
to complete. (Robert Collins)
5688
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
5689
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
5691
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
5692
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
5693
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
5695
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
5696
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
5697
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
5699
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
5700
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
5701
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
5702
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
5704
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
5705
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
5706
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
5707
returned. (Robert Collins)
5709
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
5710
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
5712
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
5713
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
5714
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
5715
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
5718
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
5719
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
5724
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
5725
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
5727
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
5728
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
5729
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
5730
makes this behavior available to other users.
5733
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
5734
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
5743
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
5744
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
5745
(LukÔŔ Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
5747
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
5749
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
5750
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
5751
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
5752
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
5754
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
5755
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
5759
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
5760
######################
5762
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
5763
in bzrlib/remote.py.
5766
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
5767
######################
5772
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
5773
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
5774
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
5775
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
5778
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
5779
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
5780
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
5786
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
5787
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
5788
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
5791
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
5792
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
5793
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
5795
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
5796
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
5797
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
5799
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
5800
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
5802
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
5803
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
5804
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
5805
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
5806
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
5807
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
5808
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
5809
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
5810
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
5811
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
5813
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
5814
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
5816
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
5817
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
5818
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
5823
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
5824
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
5826
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
5827
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
5828
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
5830
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
5831
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
5833
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
5834
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
5836
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
5839
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
5840
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
5842
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
5843
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
5845
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
5846
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (LukÔŔ Lalinský)
5848
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
5849
(Blake Winton, #129299)
5851
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
5853
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
5856
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
5857
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
5858
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
5859
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
5861
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (LukÔŔ Lalinský)
5863
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
5864
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
5867
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
5868
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
5870
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
5871
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
5874
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
5875
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
5877
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
5878
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
5880
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
5881
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
5882
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
5883
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
5884
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
5885
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
5886
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
5888
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
5889
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
5891
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
5892
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
5894
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
5895
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
5897
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
5898
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
5900
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
5902
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
5904
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
5905
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (LukÔŔ Lalinský, #93947)
5907
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
5908
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
5909
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
5911
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
5912
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
5913
(LukÔŔ Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
5918
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
5919
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
5921
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
5924
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
5927
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
5928
(Aaron Bentley, LukÔŔ Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
5930
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
5932
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
5933
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
5935
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
5936
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
5938
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
5939
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
5940
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
5941
space). (Robert Collins)
5943
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
5944
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
5947
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
5948
changes in one revision. (LukÔŔ Lalinský)
5950
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
5951
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
5953
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
5954
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
5955
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
5956
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
5958
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
5959
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
5960
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
5963
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
5966
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
5967
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
5968
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
5970
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
5971
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
5972
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
5973
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
5974
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
5979
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
5980
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
5982
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
5983
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
5984
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
5985
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
5986
affected. (Robert Collins)
5988
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
5989
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
5990
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
5993
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
5994
previous release. (Martin Pool)
5999
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
6000
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
6002
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
6003
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6005
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
6006
previous release. (Martin Pool)
6008
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
6011
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
6012
non-ASCII committer names. (LukÔŔ Lalinský)
6017
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
6018
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
6019
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
6020
its version information. (Robert Collins)
6022
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
6023
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
6025
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
6026
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
6027
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
6028
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
6030
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
6031
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
6032
present. (Robert Collins)
6034
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
6035
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
6036
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
6037
API. (Robert Collins)
6039
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
6040
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
6043
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
6044
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
6046
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
6047
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
6048
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
6049
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
6050
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
6051
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
6053
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
6054
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
6055
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
6057
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
6058
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
6059
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
6060
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
6063
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
6066
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
6067
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
6068
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
6069
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
6070
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
6071
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
6072
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
6074
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
6075
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
6076
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
6077
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
6079
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
6080
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
6081
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
6082
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
6083
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
6084
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
6086
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
6087
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
6088
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
6090
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
6091
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
6100
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
6101
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
6102
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
6103
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
6104
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
6105
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
6106
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
6107
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
6113
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
6114
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
6115
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
6118
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
6119
######################
6124
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
6125
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
6126
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
6127
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
6128
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
6130
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
6131
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
6133
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
6135
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
6137
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
6138
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
6141
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
6142
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
6145
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
6148
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
6149
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
6151
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
6152
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
6154
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
6155
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
6157
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
6158
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
6160
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
6161
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
6163
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
6169
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
6170
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
6172
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
6173
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
6175
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
6176
the repository (Robert Collins)
6178
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
6179
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
6180
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
6181
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
6182
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
6184
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
6185
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
6187
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
6188
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
6189
(John Arbash Meinel)
6191
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
6192
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
6193
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
6195
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
6196
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
6197
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
6198
(John Arbash Meinel)
6200
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
6201
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
6204
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
6205
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
6207
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
6210
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
6212
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
6214
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
6215
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
6217
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
6218
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
6221
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
6222
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
6223
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
6224
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
6226
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
6227
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
6228
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
6230
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
6231
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
6232
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
6234
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
6235
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
6237
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
6238
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
6239
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
6240
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
6241
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
6242
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
6245
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
6246
(Alexander Belchenko)
6248
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
6249
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
6251
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
6252
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
6254
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
6256
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
6257
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
6262
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
6263
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
6264
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
6265
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
6267
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
6269
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
6272
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
6273
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
6274
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
6275
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
6276
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
6277
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
6282
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
6283
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
6284
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
6285
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
6287
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
6288
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
6289
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
6290
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
6291
tests have been refactored too.
6294
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
6295
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
6296
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
6300
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
6301
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
6302
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
6304
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
6305
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
6306
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
6307
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
6308
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
6309
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
6310
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
6312
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
6313
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
6314
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
6315
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
6316
(John Arbash Meinel)
6318
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
6319
functionality for testing.
6321
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
6323
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
6324
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
6326
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
6328
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
6331
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
6332
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
6334
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
6335
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
6336
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
6338
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
6341
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
6342
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
6344
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
6345
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
6346
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
6347
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
6349
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
6350
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
6352
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
6353
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
6354
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
6356
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
6359
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
6360
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
6361
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
6362
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
6363
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
6364
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
6366
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
6367
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
6368
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
6369
many files. (Robert Collins)
6371
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
6372
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
6373
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
6374
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
6379
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
6380
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
6381
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
6383
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
6384
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
6386
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
6387
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
6388
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

6456
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
6457
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree

6479
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
6480

If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
6484
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.

Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
6487

These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
6545
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
6547
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
6548
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
6549
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
6551
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
6552
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
6554
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
6555
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6557
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
6559
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
6560
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
6561
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
6562
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
6563
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
6564
same location. (Robert Collins)
6569
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
6571
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
6573
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
6575
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
6578
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
6581
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
6582
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
6583
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
6585
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
6587
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
6588
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
6589
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
6591
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
6592
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
6594
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
6595
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
6596
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
6598
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
6599
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
6600
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
6602
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
6603
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
6604
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
6606
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
6607
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
6610
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
6611
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
6613
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
6614
(Alexander Belchenko)
6619
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
6620
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
6621
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
6622
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
6624
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
6625
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
6626
testing. (Robert Collins)
6628
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
6629
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
6631
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
6632
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
6633
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
6634
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
6635
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
6636
attribute during the test parameterisation in
6637
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
6639
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
6640
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
6641
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
6642
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
6644
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
6645
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
6647
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
6648
avoid useless cloning.

Notes When Upgrading
6669
********************
6671
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
6672
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
6673
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
6674
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
6675
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
6676
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
6677
and unlock() like so::
6679
work_tree.lock_read()
6681
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
6687
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
6688
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
6690
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
6691
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
6692
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
6694
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
6695
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
6696
too. (Robert Collins)
6701
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
6702
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
6705
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
6706
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
6708
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
6709
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
6711
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
6712
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
6713
understanding what changes have occurred
6714
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
6716
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
6717
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
6718
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
6720
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
6721
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
6722
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
6723
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
6725
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
6731
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
6732
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
6733
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
6734
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
6735
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
6737
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
6738
based on split paths, not just string paths.
6739
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
6741
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
6742
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
6744
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
6746
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
6748
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
6749
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
6751
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
6752
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
6754
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
6755
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
6757
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
6758
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
6760
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
6761
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
6763
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
6764
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
6765
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
6768
####################
6773
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
6774
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
6775
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
6776
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
6777
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
6779
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
6780
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
6781
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
6783
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
6784
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
6789
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
6790
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
6791
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
6793
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
6794
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
6795
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of

both. (John Arbash Meinel)

6807
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)

6819
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned

Notes When Upgrading
6826
********************
6828
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
6829
it could be recovered again.
6830
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
6831
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
6832
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
6834
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
6836
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
6837
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
6842
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
6843
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
6845
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
6846
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
6847
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
6848
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
6850
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
6851
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
6853
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
6854
tests with names that match that regular expression.
6855
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
6857
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
6858
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
6859
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
6861
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
6862
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
6863
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
6865
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
6866
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
6869
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
6872
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
6873
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
6874
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
6875
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
6877
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
6880
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
6881
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
6882
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
6885
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
6886
(Erik BƄgfors, Alexander Belchenko)
6888
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
6889
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
6891
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
6892
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
6893
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
6894
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
6897
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
6898
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
6900
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
6901
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
6903
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
6904
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
6905
(Robert Collins, #107125).
6907
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
6908
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
6909
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
6911
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
6912
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
6913
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
6915
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
6916
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
6917
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
6918
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
6920
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
6921
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
6922
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
6923
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
6925
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
6926
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
6927
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
6928
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
6929
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
6930
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
6931
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
6932
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
6939
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
6940
code paths. (Robert Collins)
6942
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
6943
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
6944
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
6945
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
6946
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
6948
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
6949
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
6951
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
6952
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
6954
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
6955
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
6957
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
6958
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
6960
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
6961
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
6962
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
6965
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
6966
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
6967
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
6968
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
6969
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
6972
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
6973
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
6974
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
6976
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
6977
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
6980
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
6981
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
6982
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
6985
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
6986
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
6987
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
6988
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
6989
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
6991
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
6992
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
6993
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
6994
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
6996
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
6997
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
6999
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
7000
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
7001
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
7002
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
7003
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
7004
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
7006
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
7007
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
7009
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
7010
help. (Robert Collins)
7012
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
7013
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
7015
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
7016
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
7017
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
7018
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
7019
(John Arbash Meinel)
7021
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
7022
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
7023
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
7024
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
7025
useful. (Robert Collins)
7027
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
7033
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
7034
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
7036
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
7037
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
7039
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
7040
properly and is no longer beneficial.
7041
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
7043
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
7046
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
7047
the file, and does it faster.
7048
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
7050
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
7051
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
7052
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
7054
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
7055
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
7056
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
7057
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
7059
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
7060
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
7061
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
7062
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
7064
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
7065
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
7067
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
7068
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
7069
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
7070
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
7073
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
7075
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
7076
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
7078
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
7079
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
7081
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
7082
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
7083
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
7084
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
7088
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
7089
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
7094
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
7095
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
7096
in running it. (Robert Collins)
7098
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
7099
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
7101
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
7102
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
7103
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
7104
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
7105
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
7106
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
7107
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
7108
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7110
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
7111
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
7112
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7114
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
7115
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
7116
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
7117
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
7118
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
7120
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7122
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
7123
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
7124
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
7126
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
7127
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
7136
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
7139
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
7140
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
7143
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
7144
#######################
7149
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
7150
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
7156
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
7157
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
7158
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
7159
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
7160
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
7161
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
7162
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
7163
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
7169
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
7170
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
7171
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
7173
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
7174
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
7177
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
7178
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
7179
(John Arbash Meinel)
7181
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
7182
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
7183
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
7184
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
7185
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
7190
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
7193
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
7194
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
7196
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
7197
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
7199
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
7200
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
7201
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
7203
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
7204
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
7206
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
7207
last-changed-revision for directories. The
7208
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
7209
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
7210
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
7212
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
7213
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
7214
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
7216
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

7222
Notes When Upgrading
7223
********************
7225
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
7226
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
7227
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
7232
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
7233
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
7235
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
7236
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
7238
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
7240
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
7241
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
7243
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
7244
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
7249
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
7255
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
7256
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
7257
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
7258
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
7260
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
7261
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
7263
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
7264
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
7266
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
7269
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
7270
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
7273
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
7274
#######################
7279
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
7280
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
7281
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
7282
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
7283
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
7284
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
7286
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
7287
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
7288
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
7289
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
7290
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
7291
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
7293
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
7295
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
7296
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
7297
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
7298
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
7299
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
7300
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
7301
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
7302
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
7307
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
7308
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
7310
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
7311
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
7312
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
7313
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
7315
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
7316
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
7317
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
7318
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
7319
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
7321
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
7324
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
7327
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
7330
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
7331
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
7334
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
7337
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
7338
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
7340
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
7341
directory. (Martin Pool)
7343
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
7344
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
7345
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
7346
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
7348
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
7349
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
7350
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
7351
in docs/configuration.txt.
7353
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
7354
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
7357
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
7358
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
7359
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
7360
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
7361
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
7362
repositories. (Martin Pool)
7364
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
7365
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
7367
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
7368
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
7370
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
7376
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
7377
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
7378
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
7379
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
7380
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
7381
(John Arbash Meinel)
7383
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
7384
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
7387
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
7388
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
7389
(John Arbash Meinel)
7391
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
7392
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
7393
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
7394
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
7395
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
7396
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
7398
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
7399
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
7400
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
7402
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
7403
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
7404
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
7405
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
7407
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
7409
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
7410
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
7411
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
7412
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
7414
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
7415
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
7416
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
7417
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
7419
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
7420
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
7421
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
7423
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
7424
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
7425
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
7427
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
7428
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
7429
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
7430
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
7432
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
7433
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
7434
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
7436
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
7437
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
7438
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
7440
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
7441
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
7442
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
7443
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
7444
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
7445
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
7446
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
7447
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
7448
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
7449
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
7450
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
7455
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
7456
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
7457
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
7459
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
7462
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
7463
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
7464
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
7465
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
7467
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
7468
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
7471
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
7472

* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
7531
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
7532
server, then you can write over the http connection.
7533
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
7535
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
7538
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
7539
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
7540
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
7542
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
7543
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
7545
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
7548
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
7549
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
7550
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
7551
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
7552
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
7553
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
7555
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
7556
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
7557
should enable you to do::
7559
[/home/user/project]
7560
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
7561
push_location:policy = appendpath
7563
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
7564
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
7567
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
7568
for each file. For example::
7570
$ bzr status --short
7576
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
7577
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
7579
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
7581
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
7582
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
7584
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
7589
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
7590
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
7591
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
7592
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
7594
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
7595
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
7596
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
7598
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
7600
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
7601
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
7602
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
7603
(Alexander Belchenko)
7605
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
7608
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
7609
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
7611
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
7616
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
7617
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
7619
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
7620
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
7621
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
7622
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
7623
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
7625
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
7626
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
7628
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
7629
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
7631
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
7633
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
7635
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
7636
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
7637
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
7638
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
7639
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
7641
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
7642
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
7643
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
7644
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
7646
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
7647
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
7649
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
7650
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)

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

7675
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
7676
operations are substantially faster.
7677
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
7679
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
7680
tree from some other url. For example:
7681
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
7682
(Daniel Silverstone)
7684
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
7685
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
7686
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
7687
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
7689
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
7692
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
7693
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
7694
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
7695
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
7696
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
7697
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
7702
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
7703
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
7706
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
7707
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
7708
(John Arbash Meinel)
7710
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
7711
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
7712
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
7713
(John Arbash Meinel)
7715
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
7716
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
7718
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
7719
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
7721
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
7722
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
7728
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
7729
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
7730
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
7732
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
7733
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
7734
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
7735
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
7737
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
7739
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
7740
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
7742
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
7743
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
7744
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
7745
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
7747
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
7748
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
7749
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
7751
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
7752
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
7753
them as full references rather than integers.
7754
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
7756
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
7757
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
7759
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
7761
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.

7764
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
7765
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
7767
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
7768
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
7769
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
7770
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
7772
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
7773
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
7774
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
7776
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
7777
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
7779
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
7780
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
7781
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
7782
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.

7807
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
7808
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
7809
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
7810
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
7812
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
7813
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
7815
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
7817
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
7818
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
7819
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
7820
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
7822
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
7823
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
7824
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
7825
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
7826
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
7831
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
7832
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
7837
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
7838
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
7839
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
7841
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
7842
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
7843
(John Arbash Meinel)
7845
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
7846
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
7847
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
7849
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
7850
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
7853
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
7854
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
7855
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
7857
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
7858
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
7859
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
7860
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
7861
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
7862
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
7864
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
7865
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
7866
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
7869
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
7870
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
7875
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
7876
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
7877
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
7880
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
7881
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
7883
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
7884
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
7885
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
7887
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
7888
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
7890
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
7891
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
7892
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
7893
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
7895
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
7896
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
7898
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
7899
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
7900
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
7902
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
7903
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
7905
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
7907
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
7908
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
7914
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
7915
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
7916
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
7917
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)

* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
7946
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
7947
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
7948
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
7949
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when

adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
7951
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)

just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
7955
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
7957
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
7959
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
7960
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
7962
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
7963
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
7964
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
7967
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
7968

7969
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.

7975
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
7978
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary

7989
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)

* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
8048
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
8049
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
8050
(John Arbash Meinel)
8052
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
8053
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
8054
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
8055
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
8057
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
8060
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
8061
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
8062
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
8064
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
8065
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
8067
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
8068
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
8069
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
8071
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
8072
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
8073
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
8074
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
8075
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
8076
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
8077
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
8078
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
8079
caller to repeat their request.
8080
(John Arbash Meinel)
8082
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
8083
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
8085
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
8086
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
8088
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
8089
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
8090
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
8091
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
8092
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
8093
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
8094
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
8096
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
8097
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
8098
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
8099
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
8100
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
8101
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
8102
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
8103
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
8106
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
8107
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
8108
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
8110
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
8111
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
8113
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
8114
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
8116
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
8117
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
8122
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
8123
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
8125
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
8126
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
8127
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
8129
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
8130
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
8131
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
8134
####################
8138
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
8139
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
8141
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
8142
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
8143
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
8144
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
8145
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
8147
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
8148
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
8149
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
8151
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
8152
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
8154
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
8155
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
8156
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
8161
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
8163
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
8164
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
8165
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
8167
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
8169
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
8171
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
8172
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
8173
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
8174
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
8176
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
8177
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
8178
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
8179
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
8180
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
8182
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
8183
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
8185
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
8186
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
8188
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
8189
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
8191
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
8192
in handling of revision properties.
8193
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
8195
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
8196
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
8201
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
8202
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
8203
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
8204
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
8205
(John Arbash Meinel)
8207
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
8208
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
8209
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
8211
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
8212
#####################
8217
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
8218
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
8219
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
8220
specific one '.bzrignore'.
8221
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
8222
a more conservative list than the old default.
8223
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
8224
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
8225
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
8226
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
8228
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
8229
to more locations than just branch locations.
8235
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
8236
revno:N:branch. For example,
8237
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
8238
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
8240
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
8241
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
8242
the path of a file that has been versioned.
8243
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
8244
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
8245
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
8246
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
8247
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
8250
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
8251
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
8252
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
8255
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
8256
(Alexander Belchenko)
8258
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
8260
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
8263
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
8264
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
8265
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
8266
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
8267
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
8268
(John Arbash Meinel)
8270
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
8271
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
8272
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
8273
grained analysis of performance.
8274
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
8276
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
8277
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
8279
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
8280
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
8281
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
8282
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
8283
file. (Robert Collins).
8285
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
8286
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
8287
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
8289
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
8290
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
8293
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
8294
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
8296
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
8297
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
8298
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
8299
the same way you would apply another branch.
8300
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
8302
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
8303
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
8305
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
8308
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
8311
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
8312
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
8313
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
8315
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
8316
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
8317
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
8319
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
8320
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
8322
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
8323
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
8324
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
8325
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
8326
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
8328
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
8329
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
8331
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
8332
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
8333
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
8334
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
8335
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
8336
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
8337
branch is as much as 4x faster.
8338
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
8340
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
8341
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
8342
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
8347
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
8349
(Erik BƄgfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
8351
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
8352
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
8354
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
8355
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
8357
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
8358
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
8360
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
8362
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
8363
(John Arbash Meinel)
8365
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
8366
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
8368
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
8369
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
8372
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
8373
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
8375
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
8376
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
8378
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
8379
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
8380
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
8381
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
8383
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
8384
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
8386
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
8388
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
8389
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
8391
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
8393
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
8395
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
8396
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
8398
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
8399
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
8401
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
8402
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
8403
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
8405
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
8406
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
8407
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
8409
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
8410
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
8412
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
8413
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
8415
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
8416
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
8418
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
8419
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
8421
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
8422
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
8424
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
8425
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
8426
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
8428
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
8430
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
8431
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
8436
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
8437
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
8438
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
8440
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
8441
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
8443
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
8444
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
8445
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
8447
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
8448
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
8450
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
8451
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
8454
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
8455
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
8456
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
8458
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
8459
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
8460
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
8462
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
8463
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
8464
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
8466
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
8467
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
8468
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
8470
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
8471
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
8472
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
8474
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
8475
instead. (Robert Collins)
8477

Notes When Upgrading
8545
********************
8547
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
8548
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
8549
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
8550
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
8551
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
8552
will keep the same format.
8554
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
8555
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
8556
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
8557
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
8558
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
8560
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
8561
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
8562
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
8563
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
8564
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
8565
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
8566
indicating the current revision of the branch.
8568
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
8569
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
8570
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
8571
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
8572
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
8574
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
8575
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
8576
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
8583
* sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
8584
convention. Paths now take the form::
8586
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
8588
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
8590
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
8591
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
8593
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
8594
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
8595
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
8597
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
8598
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
8599
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
8600
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
8602
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
8603
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
8604
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
8606
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik BƄgfors)
8608
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik BƄgfors)
8610
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
8611
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
8614
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
8615
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
8618
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
8620
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
8621
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
8622
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
8625
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
8627
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
8629
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
8632
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
8633
their own formatters. (Erik BƄgfors)
8635
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
8636
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
8639
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
8640
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
8643
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
8645
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
8647
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
8648
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik BƄgfors, Robert Collins)
8650
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
8651
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
8652
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
8653
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
8654
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
8655
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
8657
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
8659
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
8660
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
8663
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
8664
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
8666
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
8667
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
8669
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
8671
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
8672
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
8673
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
8674
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
8675
specification by Martin Pool.
8676
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
8678
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
8681
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
8682
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
8684
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
8685
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
8686
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
8688
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
8690
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
8691
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
8697
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
8698
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
8700
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
8702
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
8704
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
8707
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
8708
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
8709
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
8710
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
8715
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
8716
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
8717
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
8718
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
8720
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
8721
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
8722
tried. (Martin Pool)
8724
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
8727
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
8729
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
8730
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
8731
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
8733
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
8734
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
8736
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
8737
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
8738
paths. (Robert Collins)
8740
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
8741
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
8742
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
8744
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
8745
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
8746
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
8748
* Progress bars are now nested - see
8749
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
8750
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
8752
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
8755
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
8758
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
8760
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
8762
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
8763
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
8764
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
8767
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
8768
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
8770
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
8771
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
8772
check. (Robert Collins)
8774
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
8775
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
8780
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
8781
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
8783
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
8784
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
8785
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
8786
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
8788
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
8789
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
8790
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
8791
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
8792
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
8794
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
8795
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
8796
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
8798
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
8800
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
8801
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
8809
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
8810
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
8812
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
8813
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
8814
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
8817
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
8818
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
8820
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
8821
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
8822
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
8823
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
8824
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
8826
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
8827
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
8828
used. (Robert Collins)
8830
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
8831
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
8834
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
8835
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
8836
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
8838
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
8841
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
8842
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
8847
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
8848
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
8850
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
8852
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
8854
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
8855
tree. (Robert Collins)
8857
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
8858
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
8859
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
8862
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
8865
* Tweaks to short log printing
8867
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
8870
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
8871
occurs. (Martin Pool)
8873
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
8874
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
8876
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
8877
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
8879
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
8880
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
8881
settings. (Magnus Therning)
8883
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
8884
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
8886
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
8887
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
8890
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
8891
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
8893
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
8894
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
8896
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
8897
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
8899
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
8902
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
8903
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
8905
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
8906
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
8908
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
8909
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
8910
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
8915
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
8917
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
8919
* Error when run with -OO
8921
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
8924
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
8926
* Change status to 3 for all errors
8928
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
8929
ignored by diff and status
8931
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
8932
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
8934
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
8936
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
8938
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
8939
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
8941
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
8942
email address. (Marien Zwart)
8944
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
8947
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
8948
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
8950
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
8952
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
8953
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
8955
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
8958
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
8959
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
8961
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
8966
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
8967
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
8969
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
8971
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
8973
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
8975
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
8976
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
8977
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
8979
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
8981
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
8982
(John Arbash Meinel)
8984
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
8986
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
8987
If adding a new test script please add that to
8988
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
8990
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
8991
imported. (Martin Pool)
8993
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
8994
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
8995
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
8996
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
8997
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
9000
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
9001
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
9002
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
9004
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
9005
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
9006
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
9008
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
9009
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
9010
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
9011
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
9012
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
9015
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
9016
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
9022
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
9023
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
9025
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
9026
function. (Robert Collins)
9028
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
9029
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
9030
if needed). (Robert Collins)
9032
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
9033
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
9036
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
9037
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
9038
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
9039
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
9040
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
9041
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
9042
version. (Robert Collins)
9044
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
9045
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
9047
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
9048
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
9049
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
9050
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
9051
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
9052
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
9054
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
9057
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
9067
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
9069
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
9071
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
9074
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
9075
query method. (Robert Collins)
9077
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
9080
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
9083
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
9086
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
9087
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
9088
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
9089
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
9091
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
9092
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
9093
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
9094
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
9096
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
9097
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
9105
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
9108
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
9112
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
9113
a separator, not ':'.
9116
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
9117
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
9118
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
9120
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
9121
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
9124
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
9125
has been added that suppresses all output.
9127
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
9130
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
9131
Goffredo Baroncelli.
9133
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
9134
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
9136
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
9137
a revision. (Robert Collins)
9139
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
9140
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
9141
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
9142
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
9144
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
9146
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
9147
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
9149
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
9150
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
9152
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
9153
output directory, if one was supplied.
9155
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
9156
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
9157
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
9158
parameters. (Robert Collins)
9160
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
9162
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
9163
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
9165
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
9166
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
9167
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
9169
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
9170
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
9172
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
9175
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
9177
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
9182
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
9183
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
9184
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
9186
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
9187
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
9188
related questions. (Robert Collins)
9190
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
9191
is given. (Martin Pool)
9193
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
9194
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
9195
file. (Robert Collins)
9197
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
9203
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
9204
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
9205
representation. (Martin Pool).
9207
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
9208
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
9209
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
9211
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
9214
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
9215
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
9218
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
9219
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
9220
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
9221
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
9222
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
9224
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
9225
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
9226
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
9227
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
9228
python path. (Robert Collins)
9230
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
9231
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
9232
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
9233
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
9235
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
9236
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
9238
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
9239
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
9242
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
9243
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
9244
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
9246
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
9247
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
9248
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
9250
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
9251
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
9253
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
9254
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
9255
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
9258
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
9259
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
9260
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
9261
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
9264
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
9267
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
9268
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
9271
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
9272
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
9273
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
9275
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
9276
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propagate as normal.
9277
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
9279
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
9280
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
9281
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
9283
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
9284
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
9286
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
9287
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
9288
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
9289
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
9290
caller. (Robert Collins)
9292
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
9293
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
9296
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
9297
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
9300
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
9302
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
9303
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
9308
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
9309
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
9311
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
9312
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

9321
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
9322
allow directories to be listed.
9324
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
9325
upgrading branch format.
9330
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
9339
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
9340
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
9341
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
9342
high-latency connections.
9347
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
9350
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
9351
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
9353
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
9354
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
9355
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
9356
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
9358
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
9359
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
9361
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
9362
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
9364
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
9365
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
9366
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
9368
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
9369
for files with only a change to their executable status.
9370
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
9373
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
9374
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
9376
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
9377
different partial views of history.
9379
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
9380
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
9385
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
9386
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
9387
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
9389
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
9390
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
9393
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
9394
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
9396
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
9399
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
9400
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
9402
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
9403
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
9404
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
9405
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
9407
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
9409
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
9410
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
9413
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
9414
Contributed by Robert Collins.
9416
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
9417
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
9418
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
9424
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
9425
for your viewing pleasure.
9427
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
9428
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
9430
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
9431
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
9432
handling of such circumstances.
9434
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
9435
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
9436
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
9438
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
9440
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
9441
we call them revisions not patches.
9443
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
9444
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
9446
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
9447
giving the revision *of that file*.
9449
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
9450
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
9451
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
9456
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
9457
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
9459
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
9460
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``

* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
9478
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
9479
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
9484
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
9485
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
9487
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
9488
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
9489
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
9490
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by

9511
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
9512
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
9513
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
9514
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
9517
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
9520
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
9521
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
9522
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
9523
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
9524
for the operating system is still tried.
9526
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
9527
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
9528
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
9534

help with intelligent shell completion.
9565

9571
* Much better merge support.
9573
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
9574
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things

* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
9634
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
9636
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
9637
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
9638
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
9644
* Faster working tree operations.
9650
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
9651
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
9652
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
9653
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
9655
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
9656
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
9657
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
9658
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
9659
standard plugins directory.
9661
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
9662
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
9663
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
9664
option. Patch from William DodƩ and John Meinel.
9666
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
9667
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
9669
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
9672
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
9673
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
9674
``-l`` option, patched by William DodƩ.
9676
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
9677
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
9679
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
9680
line options must come before the command name because they
9681
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
9682
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
9685
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.

#####################
9703
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
9704
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
9706
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
9707
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
9708
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
9709
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
9711
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
9712
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
9713
with the ``--forward`` option.
9715
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
9716
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second

* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
9724
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.

* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
9728
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
9729
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.

9756
haven't changed since the previous time.

* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
9759
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.

handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
9784
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
9791
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;

* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
9796
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
9798
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
9799
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
9801
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
9802
under a different version.
9804
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
9810
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.

* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
9813
Scott James Remnant.
9815
* Better help messages for many commands.
