############################################
43
Bazaar continues to blaze a straight and shining path to the 2.0 release and
44
the elevation of the ``2a`` beta format to the full glory of "supported and
47
Highlights in this release include greatly reduced memory consumption during
48
commits, faster ``ls``, faster ``annotate``, faster network operations if
49
you're specifying a revision number and the final destruction of those
50
annoying progress bar artifacts.
56
* ``bzr register-branch`` from the Launchpad plugin now refers to "project"
57
instead of "product" which is the correct Launchpad terminology. The
58
--product option is deprecated and users should switch to using --project.
59
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #238764)
65
* ``bzr push`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
66
are present in the working tree (if one is present) and no revision is
67
speified. The configuration option ``push_strict`` can be used to set the
68
default for this behavior. (Vincent Ladeuil, #284038, #322808, #65286)
70
* ``bzr revno`` and ``bzr revision-info`` now have a ``--tree`` option to
71
show revision info for the working tree instead of the branch.
72
(Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
74
* ``bzr send`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
75
are present in the working tree and no revision is specified. The
76
configuration option ``send_strict`` can be used to set the default for this
78
(Vincent Ladeuil, #206577)
84
* Accept uppercase "Y/N" to prompts such as from break lock.
85
(#335182, Tim Powell, Martin Pool)
87
* Add documentation about diverged branches and how to fix them in the
88
centralized workflow with local commits. Mention ``bzr help
89
diverged-branches`` when a push fails because the branches have
90
diverged. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #269477)
92
* Annotate would sometimes 'latch on' to trivial lines, causing important
93
lines to be incorrectly annotated. (John Arbash Meinel, #387952)
95
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
96
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
97
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
99
* Avoid progress bar artifacts being left behind on the screen.
100
(Martin Pool, #321935)
102
* Better message in ``bzr split`` error suggesting a rich root format.
103
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #220067)
105
* ``Branch.set_append_revisions_only`` now works with branches on a smart
106
server. (Andrew Bennetts, #365865)
108
* By default, ``bzr branch`` will fail if the target directory exists, but
109
does not already have a control directory. The flag ``--use-existing-dir``
110
will allow operation to proceed. (Alexander Belchenko, #307554)
112
* ``bzr ls DIR --from-root`` now shows only things in DIR, not everything.
115
* Fetch between repositories does not error if they have inconsistent data
116
that should be irrelevant to the fetch operation. (Aaron Bentley)
118
* Fix ``AttributeError`` exception when reconfiguring lightweight checkout
119
of a remote repository.
120
(Jelmer Vernooij, #332194)
122
* Fix bug in decoding v3 smart server messages when receiving multiple
123
lots of excess bytes after an end-of-message.
126
* Force deletion of readonly files during merge, update and other tree
128
(Craig Hewetson, Martin Pool, #218206)
130
* Force socket shutdown in threaded http test servers to avoid client hangs
131
(pycurl). (Vincent Ladeuil, #383920).
133
* ``LRUCache`` will maintain the linked list pointers even if a nodes
134
cleanup function raises an exception. (John Arbash Meinel, #396838)
136
* Progress bars are now suppressed again when the environment variable
137
``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` is set to ``none``.
138
(Martin Pool, #339385)
140
* Reduced memory consumption during ``bzr commit`` of large files. For
141
pre 2a formats, should be down to ~3x the size of a file.
142
For ``--2a`` format repositories, it is down to the size of the file
143
content plus the size of the compressed text. Related to bug #109114.
146
* Set hidden attribute on .bzr directory below unicode path should never
147
fail with error. The operation should succeed even if bzr unable to set
148
the attribute. (Alexander Belchenko, related to bug #335362).
150
* Stacking will no longer accept requests to stack on the same
151
branch/repository. Existing branches that incorrectly reference the same
152
repository in a stacking configuration will now raise
153
UnstackableLocationError when the branch is opened. This can be fixed by
154
removing the stacking location inside ``.bzr/branch``.
155
(Robert Collins, #376243)
157
* The ``log+`` decorator, useful in debugging or profiling, could cause
158
"AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'next'". This is now
159
fixed. The log decorator no longer shows the elapsed time or transfer
160
rate because they're available in the log prefixes and the transport
161
activity display respectively.
162
(Martin Pool, #340347)
164
* Unshelve works correctly when multiple zero-length files are present on
165
the shelf. (Aaron Bentley, #363444)
167
* Progress bars no longer show the network transport scheme or direction.
170
* launchpad-login now respects the 'verbose' option.
171
(Jonathan Lange, #217031)
177
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is now officially deprecated. It is not
178
possible to write a deprecation wrapper, but the variable will be
179
removed in the near future. Use ``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding()``
180
instead. (Alexander Belchenko)
182
* Command lookup has had hooks added. ``bzrlib.Command.hooks`` has
183
three new hook points: ``get_command``, ``get_missing_command`` and
184
``list_commands``, which allow just-in-time command name provision
185
rather than requiring all command names be known a-priori.
188
* ``get_app_path`` from win32utils.py now supports REG_EXPAND_SZ data type
189
and can read path to wordpad.exe. (Alexander Belchenko, #392046)
191
* ``graph.KnownGraph`` has been added. This is a class that can give
192
answers to ``heads()`` very quickly. However, it has the assumption that
193
the whole graph has already been loaded. This is true during
194
``annotate`` so it is used there with good success (as much as 2x faster
195
for files with long ancestry and 'cherrypicked' changes.)
196
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
198
* OS file locks are now taken out using ``CreateFile`` rather than
199
``LockFileEx`` on Windows. The locking remains exclusive with
200
``LockFileEx`` but now it also works on older versions of Windows (such
201
as Win98). (Martin <gzlist>)
203
* pack <=> pack fetching is now done via a ``PackStreamSource`` rather
204
than the ``Packer`` code. The user visible change is that we now
205
properly fetch the minimum number of texts for non-smart fetching.
209
* ``VersionedFiles._add_text`` is a new api that lets us insert text into
210
the repository as a single string, rather than a list of lines. This can
211
improve memory overhead and performance of committing large files.
212
(Currently a private api, used only by commit). (John Arbash Meinel)
218
* ``bzr annotate`` can now be significantly faster. The time for
219
``bzr annotate NEWS`` is down to 7s from 22s in 1.16. Files with long
220
histories and lots of 'duplicate insertions' will be improved more than
221
others. (John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
223
* ``bzr ls`` is now faster. On OpenOffice.org, the time drops from 2.4
224
to 1.1 seconds. The improvement for ``bzr ls -r-1`` is more
225
substantial dropping from 54.3 to 1.1 seconds. (Ian Clatworthy)
227
* Improve "Path(s) are not versioned" error reporting for some commands.
230
* Initial commit performance in ``--2a`` repositories has been improved by
231
making it cheaper to build the initial CHKMap. (John Arbash Meinel)
233
* Resolving a revno to a revision id on a branch accessed via ``bzr://``
234
or ``bzr+ssh://`` is now much faster and involves no VFS operations.
235
This speeds up commands like ``bzr pull -r 123``. (Andrew Bennetts)
237
* ``revision-info`` now properly aligns the revnos/revids in the output
238
and doesn't traceback when given revisions not in the current branch.
239
Performance is also significantly improved when requesting multiple revs
240
at once. (Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
242
* Tildes are no longer escaped by Transports. (Andy Kilner)
248
* Avoid bad text wrapping in generated documentation. Slightly better
249
formatting in the user reference.
250
(Martin Pool, #249908)
252
* Minor clarifications to the help for End-Of-Line conversions.
258
* Removed overspecific error class ``InvalidProgressBarType``.
261
* The method ``ProgressView._show_transport_activity`` is now
262
``show_transport_activity`` because it's part of the contract between
263
this class and the UI. (Martin Pool)
266

267
#####################
269
End user testing of the 2a format revealed two serious bugs. The first,
270
#365615, caused bzr to raise AbsentContentFactory errors when autopacking.
271
This meant that commits or pushes to 2a-format repositories failed
274
The second bug, #390563, caused the smart server to raise AbsentContentFactory
275
when streaming 2a stacked 2a-format branches. This particularly affected
276
branches stored on Launchpad in the 2a format.
278
Both of these bugs cause command failures only, neither of them cause data
279
corruption or data loss. And, of course, both of these bugs are now fixed.
284
* We now properly request a more minimal set of file texts when fetching
285
multiple revisions. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
287
* Repositories using CHK pages (which includes the new 2a format) will no
288
longer error during commit or push operations when an autopack operation
289
is triggered. (Robert Collins, #365615)
291
* ``chk_map.iter_interesting_nodes`` now properly uses the *intersection*
292
of referenced nodes rather than the *union* to determine what
293
uninteresting pages we still need to look at. Prior to this,
294
incrementally pushing to stacked branch would push the minimal data, but
295
fetching everything would request extra texts. There are some unhandled
296
cases wrt trees of different depths, but this fixes the common cases.
297
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
299
* ``GroupCompress`` repositories now take advantage of the pack hints
300
parameter to permit cross-format fetching to incrementally pack the
301
converted data. (Robert Collins)
303
* ``Repository.commit_write_group`` now returns opaque data about what
304
was committed, for passing to the ``Repository.pack``. Repositories
305
without atomic commits will still return None. (Robert Collins)
307
* ``Repository.pack`` now takes an optional ``hint`` parameter
308
which will support doing partial packs for repositories that can do
309
that. (Robert Collins)
311
* RepositoryFormat has a new attribute 'pack_compresses' which is True
312
when doing a pack operation changes the compression of content in the
313
repository. (Robert Collins)
315
* ``StreamSink`` and ``InterDifferingSerialiser`` will call
316
``Repository.pack`` with the hint returned by
317
``Repository.commit_write_group`` if the formats were different and the
318
repository can increase compression by doing a pack operation.

bzr 1.16 "It's yesterday in California" 2009-06-18
323
##################################################
324
:Codename: yesterday-in-california
328
This version of Bazaar contains the beta release of the new ``2a`` repository
329
format, suitable for testing by fearless, advanced users. This format or an
330
updated version of it will become the default format in Bazaar 2.0. Please
331
read the NEWS entry before even thinking about upgrading to the new format.
333
Also included are speedups for many operations on huge projects, a bug fix for
334
pushing stacked new stacked branches to smart servers and the usual bevy of
335
bug fixes and improvements.
338
Changes from 1.16rc1 to 1.16final
339
*********************************
341
* Fix the nested tree flag check so that upgrade from development formats to
342
2a can work correctly.
343
(Jelmer Vernooij, #388727)
345
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
346
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
347
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
353
* Display prompt on stderr (instead of stdout) when querying users so
354
that the output of commands can be safely redirected.
355
(Vincent Ladeuil, #376582)
361
* A new repository format ``2a`` has been added. This is a beta release
362
of the the brisbane-core (aka group-compress) project. This format now
363
suitable for wider testing by advanced users willing to deal with some
364
bugs. We would appreciate test reports, either positive or negative.
365
Format 2a is substantially smaller and faster for many operations on
366
many trees. This format or an updated version will become the default
369
This is a rich-root format, so this repository format can be used with
370
bzr-svn. Bazaar branches in previous non-rich-root formats can be
371
converted (including by merge, push and pull) to format 2a, but not vice
372
versa. We recommend upgrading previous development formats to 2a.
374
Upgrading to this format can take considerable time because it expands
375
and more concisely repacks the full history.
377
If you use stacked branches, you must upgrade the stacked branches
378
before the stacked-on branches. (See <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/374735>)
380
* ``--development7-rich-root`` is a new dev format, similar to ``--dev6``
381
but using a Revision serializer using bencode rather than XML.
382
(Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
384
* mail_client=claws now supports --body (and message body hooks). Also uses
385
configured from address. (Barry Warsaw)
391
* ``--development6-rich-root`` can now stack. (Modulo some smart-server
392
bugs with stacking and non default formats.)
393
(John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
395
* ``--development6-rich-root`` delays generating a delta index for the
396
first object inserted into a group. This has a beneficial impact on
397
``bzr commit`` since each committed texts goes to its own group. For
398
committing a 90MB file, it drops peak memory by about 200MB, and speeds
399
up commit from 7s => 4s. (John Arbash Meinel)
401
* Numerous operations are now faster for huge projects, i.e. those
402
with a large number of files and/or a large number of revisions,
403
particularly when the latest development format is used. These
404
operations (and improvements on OpenOffice.org) include:
406
* branch in a shared repository (2X faster)
407
* branch --no-tree (100X faster)
413
* Pyrex version of ``bencode`` support. This provides optimized support
414
for both encoding and decoding, and is now found at ``bzrlib.bencode``.
415
``bzrlib.utils.bencode`` is now deprecated.
416
(Alexander Belchenko, Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
422
* Bazaar can now pass attachment files to the mutt email client.
423
(Edwin Grubbs, #384158)
425
* Better message in ``bzr add`` output suggesting using ``bzr ignored`` to
426
see which files can also be added. (Jason Spashett, #76616)
428
* ``bzr pull -r 123`` from a stacked branch on a smart server no longer fails.
429
Also, the ``Branch.revision_history()`` API now works in the same
430
situation. (Andrew Bennetts, #380314)
432
* ``bzr serve`` on Windows no longer displays a traceback simply because a
433
TCP client disconnected. (Andrew Bennetts)
435
* Clarify the rules for locking and fallback repositories. Fix bugs in how
436
``RemoteRepository`` was handling fallbacks along with the
437
``_real_repository``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #375496)
439
* Fix a small bug with fetching revisions w/ ghosts into a new stacked
440
branch. Not often triggered, because it required ghosts to be part of
441
the fetched revisions, not in the stacked-on ancestry.
444
* Fix status and commit to work with content filtered trees, addressing
445
numerous bad bugs with line-ending support. (Ian Clatworthy, #362030)
447
* Fix problem of "directory not empty" when contending for a lock over
448
sftp. (Martin Pool, #340352)
450
* Fix rule handling so that eol is optional, not mandatory.
451
(Ian Clatworthy, #379370)
453
* Pushing a new stacked branch to a 1.15 smart server was broken due to a
454
bug in the ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` smart verb. This is fixed in
455
1.16, but required changes to the network protocol, so the
456
``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` verb has been removed and replaced with a
457
corrected ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex_1.16`` verb. 1.15 clients will
458
still work with a 1.16 server as they will fallback to slower (and
460
(Jonathan Lange, Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts, #385132)
462
* Reconcile can now deal with text revisions that originated in revisions
463
that are ghosts. (Jelmer Vernooij, #336749)
465
* Support cloning of branches with ghosts in the left hand side history.
466
(Jelmer Vernooij, #248540)
468
* The ''bzr diff'' now catches OSError from osutils.rmtree and logs a
469
helpful message to the trace file, unless the temp directory really was
470
removed (which would be very strange). Since the diff operation has
471
succeeded from the user's perspective, no output is written to stderr
472
or stdout. (Maritza Mendez, #363837)
474
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
475
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
476
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
477
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
482
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in Russian.
483
(Alexey Shtokalo, Alexander Iljin, Alexander Belchenko, Dmitry Vasiliev,
489
* Added osutils.parent_directories(). (Ian Clatworthy)
491
* ``bzrlib.progress.ProgressBar``, ``ChildProgress``, ``DotsProgressBar``,
492
``TTYProgressBar`` and ``child_progress`` are now deprecated; use
493
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` instead. (Martin Pool)
495
* ``graph.StackedParentsProvider`` is now a public API, replacing
496
``graph._StackedParentsProvider``. The api is now considered stable and ready
497
for external users. (Gary van der Merwe)
499
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is deprecated in favor of
500
``get_user_encoding``. (Alexander Belchenko)
502
* TreeTransformBase no longer assumes that limbo is provided via disk.
503
DiskTreeTransform now provides disk functionality. (Aaron Bentley)
508
* Remove ``weave.py`` script for accessing internals of old weave-format
509
repositories. (Martin Pool)
514
* The number of cores is now correctly detected on OSX. (John Szakmeister)
516
* The number of cores is also detected on Solaris and win32. (Vincent Ladeuil)
518
* The number of cores is also detected on FreeBSD. (Matthew Fuller)
527
The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming content
528
with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search. New command ``bzr
529
dpush``. Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two
530
revisions introduce the exact same line.
532
Changes from 1.15.1 to 1.15.2
533
*****************************
535
* Use zdll on Windows to build ``_chk_map_pyx`` extension.
536
(Alexander Belchenko)
538
Changes from 1.15final to 1.15.1
539
*********************************
541
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
542
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
543
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
544
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
546
Changes from 1.15rc1 to 1.15final
547
*********************************
554
* ``bzr ls`` is no longer recursive by default. To recurse, use the
555
new ``-R`` option. The old ``--non-recursive`` option has been removed.
556
If you alias ``ls`` to ``ls -R``, you can disable recursion using
557
``--no-recursive`` instead. (Ian Clatworthy)
562
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
563
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
566
* The new development format ``--development6-rich-root`` now supports
567
stacking. We chose not to use a new format marker, since old clients
568
will just fail to open stacked branches, the same as if we used a new
569
format flag. (John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
571
* Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two revisions
572
introduce the exact same line. See ``bzrlib.annotate._break_annotation_tie``
573
Be aware though that this is temporary, private (as indicated by the leading
574
'_') and a first step to address the problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #348459)
576
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
577
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
580
* ``bzr send`` will now check the ``child_submit_format`` setting in
581
the submit branch to determine what format to use, if none was
582
specified on the command-line. (Jelmer Vernooij)
587
* -Dhpss output now includes the number of VFS calls made to the remote
588
server. (Jonathan Lange)
590
* ``--coverage`` works for code running in threads too.
591
(Andrew Bennets, Vincent Ladeuil)
593
* ``bzr pull`` now has a ``--local`` option to only make changes to the
594
local branch, and not the bound master branch.
595
(Gary van der Merwe, #194716)
597
* ``bzr rm *`` is now as fast as ``bzr rm * --keep``. (Johan Walles, #180116)
602
* Adding now works properly when path contains a symbolic link.
603
(Geoff Bache, #183831)
605
* An error is now raised for unknown eol values. (Brian de Alwis, #358199)
607
* ``bzr merge --weave`` will now generate a conflict if one side deletes a
608
line, and the other side modifies the line. (John Arbash Meinel, #328171)
610
* ``bzr reconfigure --standalone`` no longer raises IncompatibleRepositories.
611
(Martin von Gagern, #248932)
613
* ``bzr send`` works to send emails again using MAPI.
614
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #346998)
616
* Check for missing parent inventories in StreamSink. This prevents
617
incomplete stacked branches being created by 1.13 bzr:// and
618
bzr+ssh:// clients (which have bug #354036). Instead, the server now
619
causes those clients to send the missing records. (Andrew Bennetts)
621
* Correctly handle http servers proposing multiple authentication schemes.
622
(Vincent Ladeuil, #366107)
624
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
625
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
627
* Fix a bug in the pure-python ``GroupCompress`` code when handling copies
628
longer than 64KiB. (John Arbash Meinel, #364900)
630
* Fix TypeError in running ``bzr break-lock`` on some URLs.
631
(Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #365891)
633
* Non-recursive ``bzr ls`` now works properly when a path is specified.
634
(Jelmer Vernooij, #357863)
636
* ssh usernames (defined in ~/.ssh/config) are honoured for bzr+ssh connections.
637
(Vincent Ladeuil, #367726)
639
* Several bugs related to unicode symlinks have been fixed and the test suite
640
enhanced to better catch regressions for them. (Vincent Ladeuil)
642
* The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming
643
content with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search: it assumes
644
that the client will make sure it is happy with what it got, and this
645
sort of mismatch is normal for stacked environments.
646
bzr 1.13.0/1 will stream from unstacked branches only - in that case not
647
getting all the content expected would be a bug. However the graph
648
search is how we figured out what we wanted, so a mismatch is both odd
649
and unrecoverable without starting over, and starting over will end up
650
with the same data as if we just permitted the mismatch. If data is
651
gc'd, doing a new search will find only the truncated data, so sending
652
only the truncated data seems reasonable. bzr versions newer than this
653
will stream from stacked branches and check the stream to find missing
654
content in the stacked-on branch, and thus will handle the situation
655
implicitly. (Robert Collins, #360791)
657
* Upgrading to, or fetching into a 'rich-root' format will now correctly
658
set the root data the same way that reconcile does.
659
(Robert Collins, #368921)
661
* Using unicode Windows API to obtain command-line arguments.
662
(Alexander Belchenko, #375934)
670
* ``InterPackRepo.fetch`` and ``RepoFetcher`` now raise ``NoSuchRevision``
671
instead of ``InstallFailed`` when they detect a missing revision.
672
``InstallFailed`` itself has been deleted. (Jonathan Lange)
674
* Not passing arguments to ``bzrlib.commands.main()`` will now grab the
675
arguments from ``osutils.get_unicode_argv()`` which has proper support
676
for unicode arguments on windows. Further, the supplied arguments are now
677
required to be unicode strings, rather than user_encoded strings.
678
(Alexander Belchenko)
683
* ``bzrlib.branch.Branch.set_parent`` is now present on the base branch
684
class and will call ``_set_parent_location`` after doing unicode
685
encoding. (Robert Collins)
687
* ``bzrlib.remote.RemoteBranch._set_parent_location`` will use a new verb
688
``Branch.set_parent_location`` removing further VFS operations.
691
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir._get_config`` now returns a ``TransportConfig``
692
or similar when the dir supports configuration settings. The base class
693
defaults to None. There is a matching new server verb
694
``BzrDir.get-config_file`` to reduce roundtrips for getting BzrDir
695
configuration. (Robert Collins)
697
* ``bzrlib.tests.ExtendedTestResult`` has new methods ``startTests``
698
called before the first test is started, ``done`` called after the last
699
test completes, and a new parameter ``strict``. (Robert Collins)
701
* ``-Dhpss`` when passed to bzr will cause a backtrace to be printed when
702
VFS operations are started on a smart server repository. This should not
703
occur on regular push and pull operations, and is a key indicator for
704
performance regressions. (Robert Collins)
706
* ``-Dlock`` when passed to the selftest (e.g. ``bzr -Dlock selftest``) will
707
cause mismatched physical locks to cause test errors rather than just
708
reporting to the screen. (Robert Collins)
710
* Fallback ``CredentialStore`` instances registered with ``fallback=True``
711
are now be able to provide credentials if obtaining credentials
712
via ~/.bazaar/authentication.conf fails. (Jelmer Vernooij,
713
Vincent Ladeuil, #321918)
715
* New hook ``Lock.lock_broken`` which runs when a lock is
716
broken. This is mainly for testing that lock/unlock are
717
balanced in tests. (Vincent Ladeuil)
719
* New MergeDirective hook 'merge_request_body' allows hooks to supply or
720
alter a body for the message produced by ``bzr send``.
722
* New smart server verb ``BzrDir.initialize_ex`` which implements a
723
refactoring to the core of clone allowing less round trips on new
724
branches. (Robert Collins)
726
* New method ``Tags.rename_revisions`` that can rename revision ids tags
727
are pointing at. (Jelmer Vernooij)
729
* Updated the bundled ``ConfigObj`` library to 4.6.0 (Matt Nordhoff)
734
* ``bzr selftest`` will now fail if lock/unlock are not correctly balanced in
735
tests. Using ``-Dlock`` will turn the related failures into warnings.

782
* bzr.dev r4289 as cherrypicked at lp:~spiv/bzr/stacking-cherrypick-1.14
783
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
788
* A previously disabled code path to accelerate getting configuration
789
settings from a smart server has been reinstated. We think this *may*
790
cause a incompatibility with servers older than bzr 0.15. We intend
791
to issue a point release to address this if it turns out to be a
792
problem. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
794
* bzr no longer autodetects nested trees as 'tree-references'. They
795
must now be explicitly added tree references. At the commandline, use
796
join --reference instead of add. (Aaron Bentley)
798
* The ``--long`` log format (the default) no longer shows merged
799
revisions implicitly, making it consistent with the ``short`` and
800
``line`` log formats. To see merged revisions for just a given
801
revision, use ``bzr log -n0 -rX``. To see every merged revision,
802
use ``bzr log -n0``. (Ian Clatworthy)
807
* New formats ``1.14`` and ``1.14-rich-root`` supporting End-Of-Line
808
(EOL) conversions, keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin)
809
and generic content filtering. These formats replace the experimental
810
``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root`` formats
811
respectively, but have support for filtered views disabled.
814
* New ``mv --auto`` option recognizes renames after they occur.
817
* ``bzr`` can now get passwords from stdin without requiring a controlling
818
terminal (i.e. by redirecting stdin). (Vincent Ladeuil)
820
* ``bzr log`` now supports filtering of multiple files and directories
821
and will show changes that touch any of them. Furthermore,
822
directory filtering now shows the changes to any children of that
823
directory, not just the directory object itself.
824
(Ian Clatworthy, #97715)
826
* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the
827
shelf, via the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
829
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
832
* ``bzr xxx --usage`` where xxx is a command now shows a usage
833
message and the options without the descriptive help sections
834
(like Description and Examples). A message is also given
835
explaining how to see the complete help, i.e. ``bzr help xxx``.
838
* Content filters can now be used to provide custom conversion
839
between the canonical format of content (i.e. as stored) and
840
the convenience format of content (i.e. as created in working
841
trees). See ``bzr help content-filters`` for further details.
842
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
844
* End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting
845
content filtering. See ``bzr help eol`` for details.
848
* Newly-blessed `join` command allows combining two trees into one.
854
* A new format name alias ``default-rich-root`` has been added and
855
points at the closest relative of the default format that supports
856
rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
858
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
859
the data when the target repository does not need topological
860
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
861
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
862
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
864
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
865
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
868
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
869
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
870
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
872
* ``bzr log`` now has ``--include-merges`` as an alias for ``--levels 0``.
875
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
878
* IPv6 literals are accepted in URLs.
879
(stlman, Martin Pool, Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
881
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
882
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
884
* Prompt for user names if they are not in the configuration.
885
(Jelmer Vernooij, #256612)
887
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server
888
now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
891
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
892
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
893
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
895
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
896
to "Ignoring files outside view. View is .." to reduce confusion
897
about what was being considered and what was being ignored.
900
* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
901
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
902
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
903
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
905
* The ``brisbane-core`` project has delivered its beta format
906
``development6-rich-root``. This format is suitable for judicious
907
testing by early adopters. In particular if you are benchmarking bzr
908
performance please be sure to test using this format. At this stage
909
more information is best obtained by contacting the Bazaar mailing list
910
or IRC channel if you are interested in using this format. We will make
911
end user documentation available closer to blessing the format as
912
production ready. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Ian Clatworthy,
913
Vincent Ladeuil, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
915
* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!
921
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
922
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
923
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
924
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
925
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
926
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
927
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
929
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
930
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
932
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
933
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
934
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
935
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
937
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log
938
-m``. (Anne Mohsen, Martin Pool)
940
* ``bzr split`` now says "See also: join" (Aaron Bentley, #335015)
942
* ``bzr version-info`` now works in empty branches. (Jelmer Vernooij,
945
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
946
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
947
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
949
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
950
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
952
* Fix 'make check-dist-tarball' failure by converting paths to unicode when
953
needed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355454)
955
* Fixed "Specified file 'x/y/z' is outside current view: " occurring
956
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
957
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
959
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
960
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
961
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
962
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
964
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
966
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
967
(Vincent Ladeuil, #346593)
969
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
970
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
971
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
972
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
973
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
975
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
976
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
977
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
978
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
979
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
980
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
981
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
983
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX. Several minor issues (mostly
984
test related) have been fixed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355273).
986
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
987
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
990
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
991
(James Westby, #341558)
993
* The help for the ``info`` command has been corrected.
994
(Ian Clatworthy, #351931)
996
* Upgrade will now use a sensible default format if the source repository
997
uses rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #252908)
1002
* Expanded the index of the developer documentation. (Eric Siegerman)
1004
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
1006
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.
1007
(James Westby, #336998)
1012
* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous versions of bzr are now removed.
1015
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
1016
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
1019
* New abstract ``UIFactory`` method ``get_username`` which will be called to
1020
obtain the username to use when connecting to remote machines.
1023
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
1024
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
1025
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
1027
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
1028
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
1029
Meinel, Robert Collins)
1031
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
1032
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
1033
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
1034
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
1037
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
1038
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
1041
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
1044
* The ``Serializer`` class and the serializer ``format registry`` have moved
1045
from ``bzrlib.xml_serializer`` to ``bzrlib.serializer``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1047
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
1048
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
1049
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
1050
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1052
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
1053
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
1054
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
1059
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
1060
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
1061
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
1062
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
1063
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1065
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
1066
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
1068
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
1069
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
1070
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
1071
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
1077
* Added ``chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string maps.
1078
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1080
* Added ``bzrlib.chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string
1081
maps. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1083
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
1084
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
1085
streaming on the the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1087
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
1088
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
1089
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
1090
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1092
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
1093
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
1094
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
1095
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1097
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
1098
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
1099
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1101
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
1102
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
1103
dependency. (Robert Collins)
1105
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
1106
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
1107
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1109
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
1110
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
1113
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
1114
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
1115
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
1117
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
1118
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1120
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
1121
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
1122
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1124
* New hook ``RioVersionInfoBuilder.revision``, allowing extra entries
1125
to be added to the stanza that is printed for a particular revision.
1128
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
1129
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
1130
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1132
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
1133
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
1134
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
1135
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
1136
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
1138
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
1139
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
1140
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
1141
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1143
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
1144
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
1145
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
1146
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1148
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
1149
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
1150
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1152
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
1153
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
1156
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
1157
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
1158
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
1160
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
1161
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
1162
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
1163
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
1164
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
1166
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
1167
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only linux
1168
machine work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,
1171
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
1172
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
1173
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
1174
desired. (Robert Collins)
1176
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include

is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
1179
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1181
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50

GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``. Debug

Changes From 1.13.1 to 1.13.2
1200
*****************************
1202
A regression was found in the 1.13.1 release. When bzr 1.13.1 and earlier push
1203
a stacked branch they do not take care to push all the parent inventories for
1204
the transferred revisions. This means that a smart server serving that branch
1205
often cannot calculate inventory deltas for the branch (because smart server
1206
does not/cannot open fallback repositories). Prior to 1.13 the server did not
1207
have a verb to stream revisions out of a repository, so that's why this bug has
1213
* Fix for bug 354036 ErrorFromSmartServer - AbsentContentFactory object has no
1214
attribute 'get_bytes_as' exception while pulling from Launchpad
1215
(Jean-Francois Roy, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1217
Changes From 1.13final to 1.13.1
1218
********************************
1220
A couple regessions where found in the 1.13 release. The pyrex-generated C
1221
extensions are missing from the .tar.gz and .zip files. Documentation on how
1222
to generate GNU ChangeLogs is wrong.
1227
* Change ``./bzr``'s ``_script_version`` to match ./bzrlib/__init__.py
1228
version_info. (Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, #345232)
1230
* Distribution archives for 1.13 do not contain generated C extension modules
1231
(Jean-Francois Roy, Bob Tanner, #344465)
1233
* GNU ChangeLog output can now be produced by bzr log --format gnu-changelog is
1234
incorrect (Deejay, Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #343928)
1236
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
1238
Changes From 1.13rc1 to 1.13final
1239
*********************************
1241
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
1242
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
1243
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
1245
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
1246
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
1248
Compatibility Breaks
1249
********************
1251
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
1252
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
1253
command may need to be adjusted.
1254
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1259
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
1260
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
1261
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
1263
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
1266
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
1267
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
1268
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
1271
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
1272
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
1274
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
1275
(John Arbash Meinel)
1277
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
1278
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
1280
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernoij)
1282
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
1283
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
1286
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
1292
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
1293
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
1294
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
1295
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
1296
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
1297
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
1298
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
1299
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
1302
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
1303
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
1305
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
1306
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
1307
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
1309
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
1310
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
1312
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
1313
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
1314
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
1317
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
1318
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
1319
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1321
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
1322
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
1323
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
1324
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1326
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
1329
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
1330
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
1332
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
1333
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
1335
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
1336
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
1337
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
1339
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
1344
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
1345
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
1347
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
1348
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
1349
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
1351
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
1352
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
1353
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
1355
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
1356
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
1358
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
1359
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
1362
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
1363
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
1364
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
1366
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
1367
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
1369
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
1370
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
1372
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
1373
(James Westby, #174539)
1375
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
1376
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
1378
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
1379
error branching from old repositories.
1380
(Martin Pool, #321695)
1382
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
1383
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
1385
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
1386
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
1387
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
1388
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1390
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
1391
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko,
1394
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
1395
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
1397
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
1398
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
1400
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
1401
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
1402
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1404
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
1405
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
1407
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.
1408
(Benoît Pierre, Aaron Bentley)
1413
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
1414
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
1415
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
1418
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
1419
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
1421
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.
1422
(Daniel Watkins, #327421, #327425)
1427
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
1428
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
1429
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
1430
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
1431
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
1433
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
1434
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1436
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
1437
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
1438
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
1439
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
1440
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
1441
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
1443
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
1444
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
1446
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
1447
"author" argument being deprecated.
1449
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
1451
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
1452
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
1453
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
1454
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
1456
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
1457
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
1458
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
1460
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
1461
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
1462
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
1464
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
1465
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
1467
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
1468
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
1469
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
1470
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
1475
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
1476
free of virtual file system methods.
1477
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1479
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
1480
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
1481
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
1483
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
1484
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
1485
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
1486
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
1487
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
1488
(Robert Collins, #334187)
1490
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
1492
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
1493
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
1495
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
1496
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
1497
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
1498
stream the operation.
1499
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1501
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
1502
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
1504
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
1505
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
1506
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
1507
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
1508
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
1510
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
1511
branch object. (Robert Collins)
1513
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
1514
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
1515
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
1517
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
1518
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
1521
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
1524
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
1525
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
1526
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1528
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
1529
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
1530
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1532
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
1533
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
1534
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1536
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
1537
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
1538
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1540
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
1541
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
1542
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
1543
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
1544
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
1546
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
1547
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
1548
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
1549
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
1550
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
1551
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
1553
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
1554
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
1555
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
1556
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
1557
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1559
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
1560
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1562
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
1563
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
1565
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
1566
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
1567
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
1568
to access private data in record to obtain content more
1569
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
1571
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
1572
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.

:1.12rc1: 2009-02-10
1583
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
1584
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
1585
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
1586
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
1587
by showing the rate of network IO.
1589
Changes from RC1 to Final
1590
*************************
1592
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
1593
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
1595
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
1596
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
1598
Compatibility Breaks
1599
********************
1601
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
1602
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
1603
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
1604
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
1606
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
1607
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
1608
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
1611
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
1612
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
1613
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
1614
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1616
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
1617
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
1618
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
1621
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1626
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
1627
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
1628
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
1631
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
1632
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
1633
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
1635
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
1636
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
1637
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
1638
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
1639
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
1640
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
1641
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
1642
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
1643
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
1649
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
1652
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
1655
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
1656
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
1657
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
1659
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
1660
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
1661
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
1662
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
1663
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
1665
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
1666
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
1668
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
1669
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
1670
level for better precision.
1673
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
1674
rules. (Marius Kruger)
1676
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
1677
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
1678
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
1680
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
1681
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
1682
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
1685
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
1686
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
1687
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
1692
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
1694
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
1696
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
1697
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
1698
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
1700
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
1701
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
1702
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
1703
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
1704
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
1705
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
1707
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
1708
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
1710
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
1711
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
1713
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
1714
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
1715
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
1717
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
1718
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
1719
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
1722
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
1723
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
1725
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
1726
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
1727
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
1728
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
1730
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
1731
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
1733
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1735
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)
1740
* Improved plugin developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
1745
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
1746
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
1749
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
1750
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1752
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
1753
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1755
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
1756
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1758
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
1759
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
1760
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
1761
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
1763
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
1764
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
1765
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
1770
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
1771
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
1772
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
1773
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
1774
compile buffers, are such an example).
1777
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
1778
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
1781
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
1782
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
1783
efficient way of doing the mapping.
1786
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
1787
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
1789
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
1790
formatters to retrict the output.

##############################
1797
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
1798
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
1799
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
1800
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
1801
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
1803
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
1804
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
1807
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
1808
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.
1813
* Fix failing test when CompiledChunksToLines is not available.
1816
* Stacked branches don't repeatedly open their transport connection.

#################################
1827
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
1828
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1833
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
1834
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
1836
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
1837
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
1838
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
1839
implement other plugins.
1842
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
1848
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
1849
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
1851
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
1852
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
1854
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
1855
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
1856
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
1857
processes which drag in shell extensions.
1860
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
1861
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
1862
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
1863
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
1864
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
1866
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
1867
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
1868
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
1869
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
1870
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
1875
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
1876
control directory. (#139691)
1878
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
1879
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
1881
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
1882
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
1884
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
1885
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
1886
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
1888
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
1889
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
1891
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
1892
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
1893
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
1895
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
1896
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
1898
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
1901
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
1902
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
1903
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
1905
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
1906
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
1908
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
1909
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
1910
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
1912
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
1913
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
1914
in the appropriate sections.
1915
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
1917
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
1918
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
1919
(John Arbash meinel)
1921
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
1922
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
1924
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
1925
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
1927
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
1928
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1930
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
1931
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
1932
work better with how it splits its requests.
1933
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
1935
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
1936
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
1937
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
1939
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
1942
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
1944
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
1945
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
1947
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
1953
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
1954
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
1955
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
1961
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
1962
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
1963
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
1964
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1966
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
1967
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
1969
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
1970
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
1971
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
1972
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
1974
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
1975
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
1976
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
1977
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
1982
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
1983
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
1984
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
1986
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
1987
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
1988
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
1989
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
1991
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
1992
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
1993
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
1999
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
2000
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
2001
(John Arbash Meinel)
2003
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
2004
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
2005
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
2006
(John Arbash Meinel)
2008
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
2009
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
2010
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
2011
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
2013
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
2014
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
2015
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
2017
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
2018
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
2019
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
2020
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
2022
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
2023
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
2024
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
2025
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
2026
(John Arbash Meinel)
2028
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
2029
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
2031
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
2032
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
2033
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
2035
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
2036
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
2037
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
2038
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
2040
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
2041
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
2042
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
2043
(John Arbash Meinel)
2045
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
2046
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
2047
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
2048
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
2049
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
2050
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
2051
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
2053
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
2054
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)
2061
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
2062
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
2063
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
2064
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
2067
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
2072
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
2073
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
2074
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
2075
(Martin Pool, #303856)
2077
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
2078
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
2079
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
2080
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
2081
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)

######################
2087
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
2088
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
2089
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
2090
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
2091
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
2096
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
2097
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2099
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
2105
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
2106
history just to set the last revision info.
2107
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2109
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
2110
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
2111
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
2112
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2114
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
2115
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
2116
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
2117
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
2118
(John Arbash Meinel)
2120
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
2121
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2123
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
2124
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
2125
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
2126
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
2127
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
2129
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
2130
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
2131
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
2132
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
2137
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
2138
(Martin Pool, #289148)
2140
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
2141
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
2143
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
2144
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
2145
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
2146
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
2148
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
2149
starting with a dotted revno.
2150
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
2152
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
2153
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
2154
(Martin Pool, #288751)
2156
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
2157
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
2158
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
2160
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
2161
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
2162
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
2164
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
2165
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
2166
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
2167
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
2169
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
2170
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
2171
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
2173
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
2174
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
2179
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
2180
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
2181
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
2182
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
2184
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
2185
have changed incompatibly.
2187
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
2188
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
2189
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
2190
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
2191
don't need to change.
2193
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
2194
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
2199
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
2200
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
2202
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
2208
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
2209
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
2210
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
2211
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
2212
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
2213
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
2218
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
2219
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
2221
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
2223
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
2224
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.

2228

2229
#####################
2234
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
2235
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
2237
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
2238
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
2239
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
2240
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
2245
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
2246
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
2247
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
2248
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
2249
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
2250
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
2252
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
2253
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
2255
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
2256
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
2257
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
2259
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
2260
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
2261
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
2264
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
2265
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
2267
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
2268
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
2270
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
2271
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
2273
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
2274
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
2275
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
2276
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
2277
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
2278
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
2279
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
2280
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
2281
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
2282
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
2287
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
2288
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
2290
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
2291
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
2293
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
2294
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
2295
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
2297
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
2298
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
2299
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
2301
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
2302
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
2303
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
2305
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
2306
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
2307
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
2308
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
2309
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
2310
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
2312
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
2313
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
2315
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
2316
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
2318
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
2319
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
2320
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
2321
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
2322
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
2324
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
2325
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
2326
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
2327
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
2332
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
2337
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
2342
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
2343
configuration of authetication credentials.
2349
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
2350
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
2351
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
2352
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
2353
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
2358
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
2359
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
2364
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
2365
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)

#####################
2374
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
2375
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
2376
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
2377
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
2378
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
2380
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
2381
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
2383
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
2384
server. (Marius Kruger)
2386
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
2387
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
2388
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
2389
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
2390
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
2391
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
2396
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
2397
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
2398
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
2400
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
2405
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
2406
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
2407
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
2408
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
2410
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
2411
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
2414
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
2415
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
2418
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
2421
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
2423
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
2424
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
2426
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
2427
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
2429
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
2430
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
2431
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
2432
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
2433
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
2434
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
2435
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
2436
operations. (Robert Collins)
2438
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
2440
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
2441
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
2442
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
2447
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
2448
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
2449
(Martin Pool, #279381)
2451
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
2452
repository now preserves the repository format.
2453
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
2455
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
2456
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
2458
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
2459
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
2461
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
2463
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
2465
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
2468
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
2469
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
2470
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
2472
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
2473
is in a different repository than the current one.
2474
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
2476
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
2477
(David Futcher, #242106)
2479
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
2480
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2482
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
2483
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
2484
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
2485
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
2487
* Trivial documentation fix.
2488
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
2490
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
2491
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
2492
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
2493
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
2498
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
2503
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
2504
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
2505
to use. (Robert Collins)
2507
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
2508
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
2509
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
2511
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
2512
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
2513
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
2514
they want. (Robert Collins)
2519
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
2520
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
2521
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
2523
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
2524
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
2527
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
2530
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
2531
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
2533
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
2539
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
2540
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
2542
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
2543
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
2544
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
2546
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
2547
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
2548
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
2550
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
2551
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2553
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
2554
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
2556
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
2557
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
2559
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
2560
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
2561
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
2562
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept

This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
2577
file paths when we encounter complex history.
2582
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
2583
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
2584
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
2585
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.

This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
2593
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
2594
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
2595
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has

2633
#####################
2635
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
2636
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
2637
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
2638
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
2639
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
2640
it in a future repository format.
2646
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
2649
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
2650
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
2651
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
2653
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
2654
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
2655
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
2660
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
2661
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
2663
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
2668
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
2669
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
2672
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
2673
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
2675
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
2676
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
2679
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
2680
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
2681
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
2682
(John Arbash Meinel)
2684
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
2685
(Martin Pool, #261315)
2687
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
2688
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
2689
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
2690
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
2691
(John Arbash Meinel)
2693
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
2694
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
2695
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
2696
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
2697
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
2698
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
2699
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
2700
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
2701
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
2702
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
2707
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
2708
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
2710
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
2711
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
2712
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
2714
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
2715
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
2716
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
2718
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
2719
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
2720
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
2721
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
2722
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
2723
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
2725
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
2726
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
2728
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
2729
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
2731
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
2732
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
2733
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
2734
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
2735
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
2736
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
2738
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
2739
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
2741
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
2742
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
2744
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
2745
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
2746
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
2747
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
2749
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
2750
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
2752
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
2753
assuming the host name is ascii.
2754
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
2756
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
2757
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
2762
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
2767
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
2769
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
2770
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
2771
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
2774
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
2775
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2777
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
2778
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
2780
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
2781
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
2786
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
2787
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
2788
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
2789
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
2791
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
2795
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
2796
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
2797
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2799
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
2805
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
2806
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
2809
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
2810
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
2811
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
2812
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
2813
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2815
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
2816
is unknown in both source and target.
2817
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
2819
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
2820
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
2821
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
2822
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2824
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
2825
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
2826
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
2827
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a

#######################
2844
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
2845
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
2846
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.

bzr 1.6.1rc1 2008-08-29
2851
#######################
2853
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
2854
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
2855
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
2856
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
2857
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
2858
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
2859
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
2860
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
2861
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
2862
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
2863
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
2864
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
2869
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
2870
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
2871
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
2872
start of the string (causing more copies).
2873
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
2874
especially for projects with large files.
2875
(John Arbash Meinel)
2877
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
2878
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
2879
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
2880
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
2881
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
2883
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
2884
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
2885
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
2886
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
2887
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.
2888
(John Arbash Meinel, #262333)
2894
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
2895
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
2896
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
2897
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
2898
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
2899
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
2900
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
2901
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
2902
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.

#####################
2911
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
2912
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
2913
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
2914
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)

#####################
2924
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
2925
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
2926
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
2929
bzr 1.6rc3 2008-08-14
2930
#####################
2935
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
2936
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
2942
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
2943
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
2944
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
2950
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
2951
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
2952
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
2954
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
2955
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
2956
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
2957
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
2958
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
2959
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
2960
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
2963
bzr 1.6rc2 2008-08-13
2964
#####################
2966
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
2972
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
2973
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
2975
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
2976
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
2979
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
2980
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
2981
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
2982
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
2983
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
2985
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
2986
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2988
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
2989
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
2991
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
2992
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
2994
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
2995
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
2996
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
2997
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
2998
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
2999
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)

bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
3003
#####################
3005
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
3006
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
3007
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
3008
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
3009
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
3014
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
3015
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
3016
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
3021
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
3022
check. (Daniel Watkins)
3024
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
3025
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
3027
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
3028
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
3029
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3031
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
3034
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
3035
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
3036
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
3037
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
3038
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
3039
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
3040
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
3042
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
3043
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
3044
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
3049
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
3050
physical repository boundaries.
3051
(Martin Pool, #252428)
3053
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
3054
(Martin Pool, #206258)
3056
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
3057
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
3060
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
3063
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
3064
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
3065
that Python is running from.
3066
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
3068
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
3069
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
3070
(Robert Collins, #150438)
3072
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
3073
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
3075
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
3076
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
3077
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
3079
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
3080
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
3082
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
3083
(James Westby, #248448)
3088
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
3089
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
3090
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
3093
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
3094
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
3097
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
3098
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
3099
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
3100
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
3101
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
3102
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
3105
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
3106
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
3108
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
3109
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
3110
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
3111
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
3112
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
3113
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
3118
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
3119
putting together a real history without having to create a full
3120
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
3121
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
3122
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
3123
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3125
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
3126
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
3127
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
3129
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
3132
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
3133
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
3135
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.

bzr 1.6beta3 2008-07-17

#######################
3142
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
3143
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
3144
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
3145
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
3151
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
3152
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
3153
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
3155
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
3156
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
3157
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
3158
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
3159
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
3162
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
3164
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
3165
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
3166
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
3172
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
3173
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
3176
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
3177
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
3178
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
3179
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
3181
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
3182
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
3183
(Christophe Troestler)
3185
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
3186
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
3188
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
3189
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
3190
faster. The new request method name is
3191
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3196
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
3197
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
3198
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
3199
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
3200
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
3202
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
3203
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
3205
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
3206
requires a branch to be present.
3207
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
3209
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
3211
(Martin Pool, #205230)
3213
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
3214
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
3215
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
3216
(Martin Pool, #240161)
3218
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
3219
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
3221
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
3223
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
3225
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
3226
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
3227
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
3228
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
3229
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
3231
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
3232
(Martin Pool, #172870)
3234
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
3235
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
3237
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
3239
(Matt McClure, #209281)
3241
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
3242
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
3244
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
3245
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
3250
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
3253
* Updated developer documentation.
3259
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
3260
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
3262
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
3263
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
3264
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
3265
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
3270
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
3271
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
3272
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
3273
Repository docstring for more details.
3276
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
3277
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
3278
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
3280
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
3281
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
3284
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
3285
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
3286
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
3287
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
3292
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
3293
(Alexander Belchenko)
3295
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
3296
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
3297
containing a given location.
3300
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
3301
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
3302
storage. (Robert Collins)
3304
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
3307
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
3308
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.

#######################
3315
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
3316
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
3317
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
3323
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
3324
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
3325
reading from the repository.)
3326
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
3328
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
3329
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
3331
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
3332
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
3335
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
3336
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
3337
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
3339
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
3340
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
3341
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
3343
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
3344
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
3346
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
3347
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
3348
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
3349
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
3354
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
3356
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
3357
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
3358
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
3361
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
3362
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
3367
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
3372
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
3373
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
3378
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
3379
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
3380
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
3381
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
3382
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
3384
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
3385
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
3390
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
3391
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
3393
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
3394
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)

#######################
3400
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
3401
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
3402
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
3403
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
3404
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
3405
and future extensions.
3408
Notes When Upgrading
3409
********************
3411
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
3412
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
3413
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
3414
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
3415
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
3416
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
3417
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
3418
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
3423
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
3424
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
3425
(John Arbash Meinel)
3430
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
3431
load. (James Westby)
3436
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
3437
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
3438
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
3439
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
3441
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
3442
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
3443
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
3445
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
3446
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
3448
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
3449
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
3450
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
3452
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
3453
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
3454
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
3455
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
3456
step closer to not using full revision history.
3457
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
3462
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
3463
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
3465
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
3466
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
3468
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
3469
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
3471
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
3472
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
3473
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
3474
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
3476
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
3477
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
3478
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
3479
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
3481
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
3482
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
3483
in use by another process.
3486
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
3487
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
3488
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
3489
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
3491
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
3492
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
3494
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
3495
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
3496
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
3498
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
3499
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
3500
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
3502
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
3504
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
3506
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
3507
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
3509
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
3510
under vim on Mac OS X.
3511
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
3513
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
3514
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
3519
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
3520
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
3522
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
3523
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
3526
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
3527
and about use of Python reprs.
3528
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
3530
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
3535
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
3538
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
3539
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
3541
* New helper function for splitting test suites
3542
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
3547
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
3548
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
3549
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
3550
(John Arbash Meinel)
3555
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
3556
instead. (Martin Pool)
3558
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
3559
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
3560
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
3561
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
3563
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
3564
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
3565
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
3566
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
3567
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
3569
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
3570
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
3571
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
3572
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
3573
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
3574
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
3576
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
3577
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
3580
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
3581
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
3584
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
3585
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
3586
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
3587
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
3589
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
3590
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
3591
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
3593
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
3594
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
3595
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
3596
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
3597
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
3600
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
3601
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
3602
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
3603
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
3606
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
3607
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
3608
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
3609
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
3610
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
3612
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
3619
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
3620
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
3621
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
3626
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
3627
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
3628
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
3633
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
3634
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.

3644
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
3645
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
3646
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
3647
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
3652
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
3653
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
3655
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
3656
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
3658
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
3664
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
3665
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
3667
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
3668
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
3670
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
3671
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
3672
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
3674
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
3675
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
3676
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)

* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
3681
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
3682
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
3684
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
3685
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
3687
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
3688
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
3690
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
3691
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
3693
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
3694
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
3695
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
3697
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
3698
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
3700
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
3701
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
3703
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
3704
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
3705
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
3706
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
3708
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
3709
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
3712
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
3713
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
3714
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
3716
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
3717
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
3718
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
3719
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
3720
every revision each side had in common.
3721
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3723
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
3724
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
3726
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
3727
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
3728
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
3729
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
3734
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
3735
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
3736
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
3737
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
3739
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
3741
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
3743
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
3744
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
3749
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
3750
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
3751
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
3753
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
3754
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
3755
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
3756
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
3758
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
3759
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3761
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
3762
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
3763
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
3764
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3766
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
3767
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
3768
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
3769
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
3774
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
3775
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
3776
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
3778
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
3780
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
3781
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
3783
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
3784
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3786
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
3787
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
3792
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
3793
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
3794
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
3796
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
3797
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
3798
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
3801
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
3802
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
3805
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.
3812
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
3813
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
3814
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
3815
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
3816
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
3817
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
3818
and faster performance.
3823
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
3824
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
3825
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

3859
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
3861
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
3862
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
3864
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
3865
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
3866
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
3868
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
3869
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
3870
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
3871
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
3872
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
3873
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
3876
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
3877
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
3878
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
3879
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
3884
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
3886
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
3887
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
3888
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
3890
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
3891
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
3892
See the User Reference for signature details.
3893
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
3895
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
3896
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
3901
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
3902
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
3903
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
3904
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3906
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
3907
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
3909
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
3910
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
3911
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
3914
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
3917
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
3918
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
3919
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
3921
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
3924
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
3925
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
3927
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
3928
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
3930
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
3931
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
3932
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
3934
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
3935
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
3936
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
3937
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
3938
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
3940
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
3941
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
3943
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
3944
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
3949
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
3950
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
3951
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
3952
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
3953
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
3954
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
3956
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
3957
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
3959
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
3960
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
3961
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
3963
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
3964
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)

* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when

fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
3968
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
3969
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3971
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
3972
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
3973
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
3974
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
3975
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
3977
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
3979
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
3980
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)

* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
3984
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
3985
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
3987
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.

* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
3999
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
4004
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
4005
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
4006
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
4008
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
4009
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
4010
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
4011
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
4013
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
4014
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
4015
release. (James Westby)
4017
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
4020
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
4022
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
4023
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
4025
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
4026
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
4028
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
4029
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
4031
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
4032
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
4033
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
4035
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
4036
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
4037
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
4038
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
4040
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
4041
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
4042
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
4043
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
4045
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
4046
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
4047
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
4048
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
4049
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
4050
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
4052
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
4053
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
4054
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
4056
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
4057
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
4059
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
4060
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
4063
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
4064
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
4066
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
4067
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
4069
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
4070
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
4072
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
4073
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
4074
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
4076
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
4077
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
4078
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
4079
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
4080
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
4081
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
4086
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
4087
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
4088
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
4089
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
4091
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
4092
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
4093
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
4094
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
4098
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
4099
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
4102
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
4103
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
4105
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
4107
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
4108
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
4109
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
4114
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
4116
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
4119
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
4120
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
4121
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
4122
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
4123
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
4124
(Martin Pool, #109520)
4126
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
4127
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
4129
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
4130
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
4131
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
4132
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
4134
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
4135
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
4137
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
4138
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
4180
********************
4182
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
4183
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
4188
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
4189
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
4190
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
4191
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
4194
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
4195
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
4196
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
4197
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
4198
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
4199
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
4201
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
4202
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
4203
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
4204
(Alexander Belchenko)
4206
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
4208
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
4209
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
4214
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
4215
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
4217
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
4218
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
4224
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
4226
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
4228
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
4229
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
4230
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
4232
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
4233
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
4235
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
4236
to. (Daniel Watkins)
4238
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
4239
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
4240
(Alexander Belchenko)
4242
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
4243
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
4244
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
4245
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
4247
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
4250
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
4251
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
4252
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
4253
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
4254
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
4259
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
4260
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
4261
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
4262
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
4264
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
4265
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
4267
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
4268
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
4270
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
4271
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
4272
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
4274
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
4275
(#198793, John Ferlito)
4277
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
4280
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
4281
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
4283
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
4285
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
4287
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
4288
symlinks (James Henstridge)
4290
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
4291
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
4293
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
4294
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
4296
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
4297
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
4299
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
4300
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
4302
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
4303
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
4308
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
4309
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
4314
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
4315
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
4316
(Alexander Belchenko)
4321
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
4323
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
4324
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
4330
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
4331
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
4332
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
4334
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
4335
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
4336
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
4337
(Alexander Belchenko)
4339
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
4340
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
4341
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
4342
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
4344
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
4345
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
4346
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
4349
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
4350
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
4351
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
4353
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
4354
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
4355
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
4357
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
4358
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
4359
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
4360
format. (Robert Collins)
4369
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)

4375
Notes When Upgrading
4376
********************
4378
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
4379
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
4380
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
4381
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
4382
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
4388
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
4389
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
4391
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
4392
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
4393
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
4395
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
4396
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
4397
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
4398
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
4399
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
4400
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
4406
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
4407
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4409
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
4410
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
4411
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
4414
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
4415
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
4416
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
4417
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
4418
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
4420
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
4421
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
4422
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
4423
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
4424
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
4425
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
4426
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
4427
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
4432
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
4433
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
4435
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
4436
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
4438
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
4439
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
4441
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
4442
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
4443
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
4445
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
4446
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
4447
(John Arbash Meinel)
4452
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
4453
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
4455
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
4456
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
4458
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
4459
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
4461
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
4462
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
4463
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
4465
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
4466
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
4467
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
4469
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
4470
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
4472
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
4473
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
4474
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
4475
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
4476
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
4478
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
4480
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
4481
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
4484
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
4485
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
4487
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
4488
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
4490
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
4491
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
4493
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
4494
more characters which should be considered valid.
4495
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
4497
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
4498
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
4500
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
4501
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
4506
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
4507
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
4509
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
4510
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
4516
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
4517
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
4523
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
4524
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
4525
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
4527
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
4528
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
4529
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
4531
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
4532
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
4533
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
4534
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
4536
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
4538
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
4539
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
4540
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
4541
server. (Robert Collins)
4543
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
4544
operate. (Robert Collins)
4546
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
4547
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
4548
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
4550
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
4551
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
4552
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
4553
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
4555
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
4556
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
4558
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
4559
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
4560
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
4562
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
4563
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
4565
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
4566
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
4568
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
4569
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
4570
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
4571
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

#####################
4585
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
4586
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
4587
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
4588
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
4590
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
4591
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
4592
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
4593
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
4598
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
4601
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
4604
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
4605
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
4610
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
4613
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
4614
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
4615
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
4617
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
4619
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
4620
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
4621
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
4622
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
4623
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
4625
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
4626
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
4627
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
4629
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
4630
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
4632
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
4635
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
4637
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
4639
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
4642
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
4643
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
4648
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.

* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
4667
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)

* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
4701
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be

read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
4707
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
4712
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
4715
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
4716
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
4717
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
4718
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
4719
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
4720
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
4722

(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
4733
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
4735
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
4736
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
4737
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
4740
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
4741
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4743
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
4752
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
4753
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
4754
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
4756
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
4757
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
4760
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
4761
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)

* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
4764
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)

* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
4767
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)

4770
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
4771

* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
4777
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
4779
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
4780
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
4783
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
4784
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)

4879
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
4880
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the

Notes When Upgrading
4929
********************
4931
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
4932
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
4933
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
4934
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
4936
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
4937
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
4939
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
4940
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
4942
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
4943
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
4944
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
4945
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
4946
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
4947
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
4948
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
4949
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
4950
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
4951
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
4952
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
4953
from any tree without problems.
4954
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
4959
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
4960
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
4961
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
4963
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
4964
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
4970
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
4971
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
4972
supported transports.
4975
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
4976
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
4977
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
4979
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
4980
(Robert Collins, #154173)
4982
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
4983
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
4984
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
4985
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
4987
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
4988
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
4993
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
4994
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
4995
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
4996
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4998
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
4999
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
5000
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
5001
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
5003
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
5004
(Robert Collins, #88319)
5006
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
5007
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
5009
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
5010
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
5012
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
5013
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
5019
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
5022
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
5023
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
5026
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
5027
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
5028
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
5029
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
5031
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
5032
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
5033
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
5034
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
5042
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
5043
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
5045
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
5046
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
5048
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
5049
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
5051
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
5052
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
5054
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
5055
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
5057
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.

5060
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
5061
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
5063
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
5066
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
5067
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
5069
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
5070
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
5071
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
5073
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
5074
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
5076
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
5077
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
5079
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
5080
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
5082
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
5083
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
5085
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
5086
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
5087
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
5088
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
5090
(Martin Pool, #164637)
5092
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
5093
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
5094
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
5096
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.

5103
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
5104
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
5106
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
5107
specify a port in urls.
5108
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
5110
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
5111
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
5113
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.

(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
5116
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
5117
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
5119
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.

5122
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
5123
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
5124
(Robert Collins, #165304).
5126
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
5128
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
5129
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
5131
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
5134
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
5135
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
5137
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
5138
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
5140
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
5141
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
5142
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
5144
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
5145
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
5147
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
5148
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
5149
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
5150
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
5152
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
5153
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
5155
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
5156
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
5157
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
5159
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
5160
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
5162
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
5163
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
5165
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
5166
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
5171
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
5172
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
5174
* The return value of
5175
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
5176
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
5177
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
5178
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
5180
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
5183
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
5184
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
5191
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
5192
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
5193
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
5196
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
5197
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
5199
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
5208
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
5211
bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29

######################
5217
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
5218
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
5220
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
5221
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
5222
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
5223
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
5224
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
5225
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
5226
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
5227
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
5228
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
5229
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
5230
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
5231
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
5237
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
5238
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
5239
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
5240
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
5241
commands. (Robert Collins)
5243
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
5244
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
5245
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
5248
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
5250
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
5251
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
5253
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
5254
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
5257
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
5258
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
5259
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
5264
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
5265
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
5267
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
5268
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
5270
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
5271
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
5272
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
5273
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
5275
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
5278
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
5279
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
5280
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
5281
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
5283
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
5284
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
5286
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
5287
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
5289
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
5290
the contents. (Robert Collins)
5292
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
5293
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
5298
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
5299
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
5301
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
5302
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
5304
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
5305
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
5307
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
5308
(Martin Pool, #63894)
5310
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
5311
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
5316
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
5318
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
5324
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
5325
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
5326
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
5328
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
5329
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
5331
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
5332
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
5334
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
5335
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
5336
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
5337
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
5339
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
5340
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
5341
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
5342
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
5343
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
5345
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
5346
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
5348
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
5350
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
5352
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
5353
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
5355
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
5356
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
5358
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
5359
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
5361
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
5362
contains a symbolic link.
5363
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
5365
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
5366
(James Westby, #140615)
5368
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
5369
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
5370
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
5372
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
5373
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
5374
(Martin Pool, #144633)
5376
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5378
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
5379
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
5381
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
5383
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
5385
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
5386
directory to detect leaking tests.
5387
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
5389
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
5390
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
5391
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
5393
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
5396
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
5397
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
5399
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
5405
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
5406
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
5408
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
5409
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
5410
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
5412
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
5413
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
5414
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
5416
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
5417
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
5419
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
5420
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
5422
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
5423
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
5426
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
5427
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
5429
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
5430
class that needs it.
5433
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
5434
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
5436
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
5437
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
5438
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
5440
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
5441
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
5442
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
5445
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
5446
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
5447
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
5448
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
5454
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
5455
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
5456
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
5458
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
5459
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
5460
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
5461
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
5463
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
5464
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
5467
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
5468
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
5469
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
5471
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
5472
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
5473
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
5475
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
5476
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
5478
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
5479
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
5480
to complete. (Robert Collins)
5482
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
5483
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
5485
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
5486
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
5487
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
5489
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
5490
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
5491
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
5493
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
5494
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
5495
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
5496
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
5498
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
5499
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
5500
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
5501
returned. (Robert Collins)
5503
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
5504
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
5506
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
5507
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
5508
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
5509
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
5512
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
5513
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
5518
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
5519
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
5521
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
5522
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
5523
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
5524
makes this behavior available to other users.
5527
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
5528
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
5537
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
5538
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
5539
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
5541
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
5543
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
5544
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
5545
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
5546
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
5548
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
5549
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
5553
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
5554
######################
5556
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
5557
in bzrlib/remote.py.
5560
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
5561
######################
5566
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
5567
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
5568
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
5569
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
5572
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
5573
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
5574
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
5580
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
5581
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
5582
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
5585
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
5586
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
5587
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
5589
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
5590
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
5591
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
5593
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
5594
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
5596
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
5597
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
5598
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
5599
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
5600
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
5601
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
5602
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
5603
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
5604
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
5605
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
5607
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
5608
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
5610
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
5611
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
5612
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
5617
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
5618
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
5620
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
5621
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
5622
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
5624
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
5625
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
5627
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
5628
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
5630
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
5633
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
5634
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
5636
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
5637
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
5639
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
5640
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5642
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
5643
(Blake Winton, #129299)
5645
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
5647
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
5650
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
5651
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
5652
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
5653
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
5655
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5657
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
5658
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
5661
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
5662
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
5664
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
5665
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
5668
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
5669
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
5671
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
5672
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
5674
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
5675
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
5676
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
5677
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
5678
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
5679
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
5680
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
5682
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
5683
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
5685
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
5686
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
5688
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
5689
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
5691
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
5692
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
5694
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
5696
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
5698
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
5699
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
5701
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
5702
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
5703
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
5705
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
5706
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
5707
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
5712
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
5713
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
5715
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
5718
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
5721
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
5722
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
5724
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
5726
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
5727
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
5729
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
5730
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
5732
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
5733
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
5734
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
5735
space). (Robert Collins)
5737
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
5738
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
5741
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
5742
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5744
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
5745
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
5747
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
5748
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
5749
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
5750
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
5752
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
5753
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
5754
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
5757
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
5760
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
5761
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
5762
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
5764
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
5765
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
5766
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
5767
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
5768
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
5773
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
5774
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
5776
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
5777
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
5778
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
5779
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
5780
affected. (Robert Collins)
5782
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
5783
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
5784
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
5787
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
5788
previous release. (Martin Pool)
5793
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
5794
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
5796
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
5797
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5799
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
5800
previous release. (Martin Pool)
5802
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
5805
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
5806
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5811
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
5812
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
5813
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
5814
its version information. (Robert Collins)
5816
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
5817
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
5819
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
5820
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
5821
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
5822
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
5824
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
5825
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
5826
present. (Robert Collins)
5828
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
5829
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
5830
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
5831
API. (Robert Collins)
5833
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
5834
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
5837
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
5838
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
5840
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
5841
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
5842
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
5843
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
5844
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
5845
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
5847
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
5848
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
5849
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
5851
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
5852
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
5853
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
5854
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
5857
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
5860
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
5861
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
5862
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
5863
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
5864
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
5865
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
5866
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
5868
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
5869
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
5870
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
5871
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
5873
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
5874
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
5875
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
5876
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
5877
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
5878
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
5880
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
5881
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
5882
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
5884
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
5885
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
5894
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
5895
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
5896
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
5897
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
5898
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
5899
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
5900
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
5901
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
5907
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
5908
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
5909
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)

* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
5919
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
5920
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
5921
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.

5927
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
5929
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
5931
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
5932
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
5935
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
5936
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
5939
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
5942
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists

(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
5945
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
5946
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)

* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
5949
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)

* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
5955
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
5957
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
5963
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
5964
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
5966
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
5967
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
5969
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
5970
the repository (Robert Collins)
5972
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
5973
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
5974
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
5975
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
5976
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
5978
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
5979
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
5981
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
5982
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
5983
(John Arbash Meinel)
5985
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
5986
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
5987
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
5989
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
5990
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
5991
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
5992
(John Arbash Meinel)
5994
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
5995
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
5998
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
5999
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
6001
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
6004
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
6006
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
6008
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
6009
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
6011
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
6012
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
6015
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
6016
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
6017
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
6018
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
6020
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
6021
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
6022
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
6024
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
6025
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
6026
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
6028
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
6029
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
6031
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
6032
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
6033
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
6034
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
6035
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
6036
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
6039
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
6040
(Alexander Belchenko)
6042
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
6043
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
6045
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
6046
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
6048
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
6050
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
6051
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
6056
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
6057
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
6058
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
6059
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
6061
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
6063
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
6066
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
6067
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
6068
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
6069
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
6070
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
6071
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
6076
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
6077
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
6078
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
6079
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
6081
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
6082
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
6083
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
6084
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
6085
tests have been refactored too.
6088
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
6089
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
6090
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
6094
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
6095
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
6096
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
6098
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
6099
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
6100
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
6101
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
6102
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
6103
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
6104
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
6106
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
6107
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
6108
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
6109
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
6110
(John Arbash Meinel)
6112
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
6113
functionality for testing.
6115
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
6117
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
6118
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
6120
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
6122
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
6125
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
6126
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
6128
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
6129
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
6130
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
6132
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
6135
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
6136
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
6138
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
6139
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
6140
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
6141
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
6143
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
6144
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
6146
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
6147
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
6148
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
6150
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
6153
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
6154
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
6155
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
6156
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
6157
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
6158
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
6160
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
6161
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
6162
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
6163
many files. (Robert Collins)
6165
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
6166
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
6167
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
6168
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
6173
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
6174
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
6175
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
6177
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
6178
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
6180
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
6181
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
6182
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
6249
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
6250
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
6251
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree

6256
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information

* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
6266
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)

stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
6271
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
6272
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
6273
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
6274
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
6275
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
6277
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
6278
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.

Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
6281
can be slow it is useful feedback).

* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
6353
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
6354
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
6355
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
6356
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
6357
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
6358
same location. (Robert Collins)

* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
6381
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
6382
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
6383
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)

* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
6386
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
6388
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This

was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
6400
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
6401
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
6404
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
6405
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
6407
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
6408
(Alexander Belchenko)
6413
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
6414
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
6415
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
6416
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
6418
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
6419
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
6420
testing. (Robert Collins)
6422
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
6423
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
6425
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
6426
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
6427
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
6428
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
6429
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
6430
attribute during the test parameterisation in
6431
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
6433
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
6434
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
6435
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
6436
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
6438
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
6439
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
6441
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
6442
avoid useless cloning.

Notes When Upgrading
6463
********************
6465
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
6466
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
6467
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
6468
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
6469
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
6470
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
6471
and unlock() like so::
6473
work_tree.lock_read()
6475
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
6481
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
6482
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
6484
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
6485
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
6486
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
6488
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
6489
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
6490
too. (Robert Collins)
6495
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
6496
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
6499
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
6500
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
6502
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
6503
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
6505
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
6506
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
6507
understanding what changes have occurred
6508
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
6510
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
6511
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
6512
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
6514
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
6515
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
6516
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
6517
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
6519
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
6525
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
6526
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
6527
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
6528
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
6529
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
6531
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
6532
based on split paths, not just string paths.
6533
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
6535
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
6536
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
6538
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
6540
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
6542
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
6543
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
6545
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
6546
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
6548
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
6549
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
6551
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
6552
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
6554
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
6555
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
6557
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
6558
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
6559
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
6562
####################
6567
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
6568
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
6569
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
6570
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
6571
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
6573
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
6574
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
6575
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
6577
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
6578
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
6583
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
6584
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
6585
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
6587
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
6588
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
6589
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
6590
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
6592
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
6593
#######################
6598
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
6599
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
6600
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
6601
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
6603
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
6604
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
6605
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
6607
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
6608
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
6610
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
6611
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
6613
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
6614
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

Notes When Upgrading
6620
********************
6622
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
6623
it could be recovered again.
6624
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
6625
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
6626
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
6628
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
6630
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
6631
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
6636
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
6637
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
6639
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
6640
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
6641
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
6642
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
6644
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
6645
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
6647
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
6648
tests with names that match that regular expression.
6649
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
6651
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
6652
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
6653
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
6655
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
6656
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
6657
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
6659
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
6660
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
6663
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
6666
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
6667
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
6668
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
6669
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
6671
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
6674
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
6675
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
6676
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
6679
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
6680
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
6682
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
6683
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
6685
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
6686
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
6687
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
6688
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
6691
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
6692
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
6694
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
6695
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
6697
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
6698
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
6699
(Robert Collins, #107125).
6701
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
6702
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
6703
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
6705
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
6706
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
6707
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
6709
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
6710
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
6711
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
6712
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
6714
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
6715
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
6716
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
6717
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
6719
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
6720
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
6721
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
6722
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
6723
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
6724
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
6725
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
6726
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
6733
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
6734
code paths. (Robert Collins)
6736
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
6737
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
6738
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
6739
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
6740
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
6742
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
6743
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
6745
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
6746
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
6748
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
6749
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
6751
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
6752
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
6754
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
6755
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
6756
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
6759
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
6760
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
6761
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
6762
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
6763
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
6766
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
6767
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
6768
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
6770
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
6771
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
6774
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
6775
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
6776
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
6779
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
6780
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
6781
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
6782
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
6783
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
6785
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
6786
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
6787
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
6788
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
6790
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
6791
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
6793
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
6794
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
6795
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
6796
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
6797
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
6798
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
6800
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
6801
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
6803
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
6804
help. (Robert Collins)
6806
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
6807
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
6809
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
6810
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
6811
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
6812
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
6813
(John Arbash Meinel)
6815
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
6816
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
6817
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
6818
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
6819
useful. (Robert Collins)
6821
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
6827
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
6828
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
6830
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
6831
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
6833
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
6834
properly and is no longer beneficial.
6835
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
6837
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
6840
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
6841
the file, and does it faster.
6842
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
6844
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
6845
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
6846
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
6848
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
6849
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
6850
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
6851
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
6853
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
6854
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
6855
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
6856
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
6858
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
6859
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
6861
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
6862
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
6863
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
6864
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
6867
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
6869
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
6870
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
6872
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
6873
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
6875
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
6876
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
6877
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
6878
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
6882
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
6883
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
6888
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
6889
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
6890
in running it. (Robert Collins)
6892
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
6893
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
6895
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
6896
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
6897
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
6898
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
6899
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
6900
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
6901
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
6902
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
6904
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
6905
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
6906
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
6908
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
6909
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
6910
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
6911
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
6912
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
6914
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
6916
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
6917
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
6918
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
6920
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
6921
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
6930
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
6933
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
6934
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
6937
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
6938
#######################
6943
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
6944
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
6950
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
6951
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
6952
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
6953
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
6954
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
6955
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
6956
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
6957
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
6963
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
6964
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
6965
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
6967
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
6968
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
6971
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
6972
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
6973
(John Arbash Meinel)
6975
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
6976
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
6977
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
6978
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
6979
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
6984
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
6987
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
6988
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
6990
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
6991
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
6993
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
6994
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
6995
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
6997
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
6998
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
7000
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
7001
last-changed-revision for directories. The
7002
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
7003
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
7004
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
7006
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
7007
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
7008
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
7010
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

7016
Notes When Upgrading
7017
********************
7019
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
7020
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
7021
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
7026
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
7027
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
7029
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
7030
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
7032
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
7034
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
7035
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
7037
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
7038
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
7043
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
7049
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
7050
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
7051
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
7052
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
7054
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
7055
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
7057
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
7058
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
7060
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
7063
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
7064
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
7067
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
7068
#######################
7073
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
7074
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
7075
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
7076
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
7077
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
7078
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
7080
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
7081
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
7082
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
7083
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
7084
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
7085
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
7087
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
7089
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
7090
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
7091
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
7092
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
7093
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
7094
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
7095
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
7096
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
7101
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
7102
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
7104
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
7105
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
7106
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
7107
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
7109
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
7110
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
7111
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
7112
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
7113
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
7115
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
7118
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
7121
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
7124
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
7125
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
7128
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
7131
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
7132
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
7134
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
7135
directory. (Martin Pool)
7137
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
7138
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
7139
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
7140
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
7142
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
7143
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
7144
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
7145
in docs/configuration.txt.
7147
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
7148
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
7151
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
7152
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
7153
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
7154
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
7155
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
7156
repositories. (Martin Pool)
7158
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
7159
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
7161
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
7162
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
7164
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
7170
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
7171
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
7172
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
7173
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
7174
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
7175
(John Arbash Meinel)
7177
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
7178
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
7181
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
7182
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
7183
(John Arbash Meinel)
7185
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
7186
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
7187
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
7188
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
7189
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
7190
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
7192
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
7193
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
7194
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
7196
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
7197
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
7198
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
7199
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
7201
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
7203
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
7204
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
7205
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
7206
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
7208
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
7209
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
7210
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
7211
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
7213
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
7214
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
7215
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
7217
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
7218
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
7219
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
7221
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
7222
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
7223
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
7224
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
7226
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
7227
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
7228
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
7230
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
7231
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
7232
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
7234
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
7235
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
7236
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
7237
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
7238
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
7239
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
7240
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
7241
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
7242
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
7243
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
7244
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
7249
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
7250
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
7251
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
7253
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
7256
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
7257
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
7258
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
7259
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
7261
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
7262
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
7265
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
7266
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
7268
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
7270
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
7271
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
7272
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
7274
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
7275
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
7277
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
7278
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
7280
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
7281
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
7283
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
7284
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
7286
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
7288
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
7289
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
7294
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
7295
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

####################
7304
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
7309
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
7310
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
7311
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
7313
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
7314
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
7315
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
7318
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16

#######################
7324
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
7325
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
7326
server, then you can write over the http connection.
7327
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
7329
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
7332
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
7333
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
7334
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
7336
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
7337
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
7339
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
7342
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
7343
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
7344
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
7345
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
7346
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
7347
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
7349
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
7350
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
7351
should enable you to do::
7353
[/home/user/project]
7354
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
7355
push_location:policy = appendpath
7357
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
7358
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
7361
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
7362
for each file. For example::
7364
$ bzr status --short
7370
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
7371
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
7373
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
7375
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
7376
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
7378
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
7383
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
7384
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
7385
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
7386
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
7388
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
7389
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
7390
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
7392
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
7394
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
7395
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
7396
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
7397
(Alexander Belchenko)
7399
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
7402
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
7403
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
7405
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
7410
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
7411
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
7413
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
7414
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
7415
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
7416
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
7417
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
7419
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
7420
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
7422
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
7423
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
7425
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
7427
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
7429
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
7430
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
7431
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
7432
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
7433
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
7435
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
7436
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
7437
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
7438
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
7440
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
7441
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
7443
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
7444
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
7446
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
7447

7475
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
7476
(Daniel Silverstone)
7478
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
7479
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
7480
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
7481
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
7483
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
7486
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
7487
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
7488
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
7489
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.

(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
7491
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
7496
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
7497
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.

7501
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
7502
(John Arbash Meinel)
7504
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on

7506
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.

* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
7513
branch references - which the smart server component needs.

unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
7529
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
7531
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
7533
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
7534
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
7536
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
7537
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
7538
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
7539
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
7541
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
7542
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
7543
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
7545
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
7546
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
7547
them as full references rather than integers.
7548
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
7550
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
7551
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
7553
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
7555
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
7556
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
7558
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
7559
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
7561
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
7562
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
7563
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
7564
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
7566
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
7567
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
7568
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
7570
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
7571
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
7573
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
7574
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
7575
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
7576
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
7577
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
7582
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
7583
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

#######################
7601
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
7602
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
7603
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
7604
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
7606
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
7607
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
7609
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
7611
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
7612
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
7613
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
7614
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
7616
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
7617
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
7618
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
7619
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
7620
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
7625
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
7626
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
7631
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
7632
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
7633
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
7635
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
7636
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
7637
(John Arbash Meinel)
7639
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
7640
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
7641
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
7643
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
7644
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
7647
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
7648
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
7649
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
7651
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
7652
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
7653
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
7654
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
7655
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
7656
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
7658
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
7659
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
7660
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
7663
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
7664
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
7669
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
7670
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
7671
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
7674
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
7675
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
7677
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
7678
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
7679
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
7681
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
7682
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
7684
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
7685
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
7686
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
7687
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
7689
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
7690
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
7692
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
7693
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
7694
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
7696
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
7697
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
7699
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
7701
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
7702
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
7708
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
7709
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
7710
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
7711
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
7713
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
7714
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
7715
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)

* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
7740
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
7741
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
7742
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
7743
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
7744
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
7745
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
7747
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
7748
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
7749
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
7751
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
7753
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
7754
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
7756
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
7757
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
7758
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
7761
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
7762
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
7763
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
7764
(John Arbash Meinel)
7766
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
7767
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
7768
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
7769
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
7772
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
7773
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
7774
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
7775
(John Arbash Meinel)
7780
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
7781
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
7783
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
7785
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
7786
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
7787
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)

* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
7803
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
7804
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
7806
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
7807
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
7809
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
7810
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
7812
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
7813
(John Arbash Meinel)
7815
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
7816
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
7817
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
7819
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
7820
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
7822
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
7823
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
7824
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
7825
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
7827
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
7828
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
7829
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
7831
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
7832
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
7837
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
7842
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
7843
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
7844
(John Arbash Meinel)
7846
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
7847
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
7848
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
7849
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
7851
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
7854
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
7855
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
7856
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
7858
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
7859
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
7861
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
7862
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
7863
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
7865
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
7866
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
7867
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
7868
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
7869
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
7870
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
7871
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
7872
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
7873
caller to repeat their request.
7874
(John Arbash Meinel)
7876
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
7877
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
7879
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
7880
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
7882
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
7883
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
7884
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
7885
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
7886
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
7887
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
7888
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
7890
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
7891
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
7892
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
7893
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
7894
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
7895
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
7896
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
7897
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
7900
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
7901
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
7902
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
7904
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
7905
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
7907
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
7908
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
7910
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
7911
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
7916
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
7917
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
7919
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
7920
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
7921
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
7923
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
7924
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
7925
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
7928

7932
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
7933

7935
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
7936
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
7937
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
7938
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
7939
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
7941

7942
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
7943
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
7945
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
7946
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)

7971
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get

``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
8014
specific one '.bzrignore'.
8015
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with

* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
8054
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
8057
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
8058
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
8059
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
8060
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
8061
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
8062
(John Arbash Meinel)
8064
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
8065
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
8066
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
8067
grained analysis of performance.
8068
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
8070
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
8071
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
8073
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
8074
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
8075
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
8076
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
8077
file. (Robert Collins).
8079
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
8080
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
8081
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
8083
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
8084
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
8087
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
8088
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
8090
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
8091
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
8092
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
8093
the same way you would apply another branch.
8094
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
8096
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
8097
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
8099
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
8102
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
8105
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
8106
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
8107
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
8109
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
8110
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
8111
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
8113
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
8114
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
8116
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
8117
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
8118
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
8119
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
8120
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
8122
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
8123
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
8125
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
8126
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
8127
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
8128
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
8129
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
8130
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
8131
branch is as much as 4x faster.
8132
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
8134
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
8135
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
8136
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
8141
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
8143
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
8145
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
8146
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
8148
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
8149
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
8151
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
8152
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
8154
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
8156
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
8157
(John Arbash Meinel)
8159
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
8160
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
8162
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
8163
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
8166
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
8167
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
8169
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
8170
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
8172
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
8173
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
8174
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
8175
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
8177
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
8178
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
8180
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
8182
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
8183
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
8185
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
8187
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
8189
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
8190
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
8192
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
8193
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
8195
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
8196
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
8197
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
8199
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
8200
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
8201
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
8203
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
8204
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
8206
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
8207
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
8209
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
8210
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
8212
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
8213
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
8215
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
8216
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
8218
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
8219
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
8220
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
8222
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
8224
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
8225
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
8230
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
8231
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
8232
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
8234
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
8235
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
8237
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
8238
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
8239
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
8241
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
8242
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
8244
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
8245
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
8248
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
8249
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
8250
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
8252
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
8253
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
8254
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
8256
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
8257
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
8258
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
8260
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
8261
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
8262
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
8264
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
8265
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
8266
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
8268
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
8269
instead. (Robert Collins)
8271
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

8326
provides a human description of the changes between two old and

uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
8338
Notes When Upgrading
8339
********************
8341
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
8342
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
8343
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
8344
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
8345
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
8346
will keep the same format.
8348
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
8349
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
8350
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
8351
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
8352
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
8354
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
8355
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
8356
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
8357
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
8358
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
8359
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
8360
indicating the current revision of the branch.
8362
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
8363
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
8364
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
8365
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
8366
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
8368
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
8369
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
8370
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
8377
* sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
8378
convention. Paths now take the form::
8380
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
8382
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
8384
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
8385
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
8387
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
8388
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
8389
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
8391
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
8392
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
8393
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
8394
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
8396
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
8397
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
8398
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
8400
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
8402
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
8404
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
8405
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
8408
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
8409
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
8412
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
8414
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
8415
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
8416
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
8419
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
8421
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
8423
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
8426
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
8427
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
8429
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
8430
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
8433
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
8434
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
8437
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
8439
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
8441
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
8442
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
8444
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
8445
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
8446
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
8447
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
8448
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
8449
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
8451
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
8453
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
8454
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
8457
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
8458
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
8460
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
8461
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
8463
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
8465
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
8466
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
8467
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
8468
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
8469
specification by Martin Pool.
8470
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
8472
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
8475
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
8476
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
8478
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
8479
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
8480
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
8482
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
8484
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
8485
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
8491
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
8492
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
8494
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
8496
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
8498
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
8501
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
8502
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
8503
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
8504
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
8509
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
8510
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
8511
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
8512
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
8514
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
8515
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
8516
tried. (Martin Pool)
8518
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
8521
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
8523
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
8524
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
8525
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
8527
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
8528
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
8530
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
8531
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
8532
paths. (Robert Collins)
8534
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
8535
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
8536
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
8538
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
8539
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
8540
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
8542
* Progress bars are now nested - see
8543
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
8544
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
8546
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
8549
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
8552
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
8554
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
8556
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
8557
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
8558
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
8561
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
8562
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
8564
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
8565
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
8566
check. (Robert Collins)
8568
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
8569
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
8574
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
8575
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
8577
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
8578
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
8579
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
8580
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
8582
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
8583
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
8584
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
8585
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
8586
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
8588
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
8589
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
8590
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
8592
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
8594
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
8595
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
8603
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
8604
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
8606
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
8607
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
8608
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
8611
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
8612
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
8614
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
8615
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
8616
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
8617
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
8618
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
8620
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
8621
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
8622
used. (Robert Collins)
8624
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
8625
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
8628
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
8629
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
8630
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
8632
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
8635
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
8636
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
8641
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
8642
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
8644
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
8646
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
8648
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
8649
tree. (Robert Collins)
8651
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
8652
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
8653
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
8656
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
8659
* Tweaks to short log printing
8661
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
8664
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
8665
occurs. (Martin Pool)
8667
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
8668
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
8670
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
8671
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
8673
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
8674
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
8675
settings. (Magnus Therning)
8677
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
8678
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
8680
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
8681
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
8684
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
8685
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
8687
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
8688
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
8690
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
8691
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
8693
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
8696
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
8697
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
8699
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
8700
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
8702
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
8703
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
8704
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
8709
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
8711
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
8713
* Error when run with -OO
8715
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
8718
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
8720
* Change status to 3 for all errors
8722
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
8723
ignored by diff and status
8725
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
8726
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
8728
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
8730
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
8732
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
8733
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
8735
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
8736
email address. (Marien Zwart)
8738
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
8741
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
8742
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
8744
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
8746
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
8747
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
8749
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
8752
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
8753
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
8755
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
8760
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
8761
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
8763
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
8765
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
8767
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
8769
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
8770
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
8771
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
8773
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
8775
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
8776
(John Arbash Meinel)
8778
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
8780
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
8781
If adding a new test script please add that to
8782
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
8784
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
8785
imported. (Martin Pool)
8787
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
8788
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
8789
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
8790
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
8791
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
8794
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
8795
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
8796
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
8798
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
8799
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
8800
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
8802
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
8803
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
8804
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
8805
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
8806
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
8809
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
8810
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
8816
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
8817
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
8819
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
8820
function. (Robert Collins)
8822
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
8823
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
8824
if needed). (Robert Collins)
8826
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
8827
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
8830
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
8831
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
8832
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
8833
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
8834
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
8835
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
8836
version. (Robert Collins)
8838
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
8839
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
8841
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
8842
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
8843
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
8844
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
8845
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
8846
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
8848
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
8851
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
8861
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
8863
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
8865
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
8868
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
8869
query method. (Robert Collins)
8871
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
8874
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
8877
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
8880
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
8881
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
8882
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
8883
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
8885
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
8886
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
8887
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
8888
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
8890
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
8891
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
8899
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
8902
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
8906
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
8907
a separator, not ':'.
8910
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
8911
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
8912
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
8914
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
8915
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
8918
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
8919
has been added that suppresses all output.
8921
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
8924
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
8925
Goffredo Baroncelli.
8927
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
8928
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
8930
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
8931
a revision. (Robert Collins)
8933
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
8934
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
8935
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
8936
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
8938
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
8940
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
8941
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
8943
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
8944
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
8946
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
8947
output directory, if one was supplied.
8949
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
8950
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
8951
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
8952
parameters. (Robert Collins)
8954
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
8956
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
8957
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
8959
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
8960
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
8961
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
8963
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
8964
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
8966
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
8969
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
8971
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
8976
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
8977
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
8978
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
8980
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
8981
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
8982
related questions. (Robert Collins)
8984
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
8985
is given. (Martin Pool)
8987
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
8988
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
8989
file. (Robert Collins)
8991
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
8997
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
8998
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
8999
representation. (Martin Pool).
9001
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
9002
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
9003
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
9005
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
9008
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
9009
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
9012
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
9013
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
9014
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
9015
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
9016
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
9018
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
9019
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
9020
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
9021
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
9022
python path. (Robert Collins)
9024
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
9025
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
9026
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
9027
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
9029
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
9030
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
9032
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
9033
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
9036
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
9037
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
9038
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
9040
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
9041
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
9042
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
9044
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
9045
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
9047
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
9048
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
9049
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
9052
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
9053
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
9054
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
9055
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
9058
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
9061
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
9062
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
9065
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
9066
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
9067
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
9069
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
9070
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propagate as normal.
9071
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
9073
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
9074
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
9075
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
9077
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
9078
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
9080
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
9081
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
9082
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
9083
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
9084
caller. (Robert Collins)
9086
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
9087
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
9090
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
9091
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
9094
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
9096
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
9097
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
9102
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
9103
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
9105
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
9106
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
9109
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
9110
####################
9115
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
9116
allow directories to be listed.
9118
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
9119
upgrading branch format.
9124
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
9133
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
9134
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
9135
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
9136
high-latency connections.
9141
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
9144
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
9145
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
9147
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
9148
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
9149
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
9150
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
9152
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
9153
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
9155
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
9156
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
9158
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
9159
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
9160
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
9162
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
9163
for files with only a change to their executable status.
9164
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
9167
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
9168
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
9170
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
9171
different partial views of history.
9173
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
9174
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
9179
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
9180
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
9181
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
9183
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
9184
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
9187
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
9188
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
9190
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
9193
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
9194
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
9196
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
9197
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
9198
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
9199
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
9201
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
9203
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
9204
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
9207
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
9208
Contributed by Robert Collins.
9210
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
9211
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
9212
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
9218
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
9219
for your viewing pleasure.
9221
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
9222
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
9224
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
9225
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
9226
handling of such circumstances.
9228
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
9229
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
9230
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
9232
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
9234
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
9235
we call them revisions not patches.
9237
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
9238
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
9240
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
9241
giving the revision *of that file*.
9243
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
9244
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
9245
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
9250
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
9251
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
9253
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
9254
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``

9263
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
9265
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
9268
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
9270
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
9272
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
9273
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
9278
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
9279
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
9281
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
9282
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
9283
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
9284
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
9287
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
9288
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
9293
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
9295
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
9296
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)

####################
9305
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
9306
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
9307
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
9308
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
9311
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
9314
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
9315
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
9316
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
9317
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
9318
for the operating system is still tried.
9320
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
9321
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
9322
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
9328
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
9333
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
9335
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
9338
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
9345
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.

bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
9351
####################
9356
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
9357
help with intelligent shell completion.
9359
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
9365
* Much better merge support.
9367
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
9368
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
9375
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
9376
mention revisions that are not present.
9378
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
9380
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
9382
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
9383
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
9389
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
9391
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
9392
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
9399
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
9400
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by

####################
9411
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
9412
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
9414
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
9416
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
9417
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
9419
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
9422
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
9424
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
9427
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
9428
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
9430
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
9431
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
9432
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
9438
* Faster working tree operations.
9444
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
9445
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
9446
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
9447
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
9449
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
9450
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
9451
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
9452
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
9453
standard plugins directory.
9455
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
9456
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
9457
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
9458
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
9460
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
9461
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
9463
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
9466
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
9467
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
9468
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
9470
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
9471
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
9473
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
9474
line options must come before the command name because they
9475
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
9476
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
9479
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
9481
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
9482
is available with ``--short``.
9488
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.

9492
#####################
9497
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
9498
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
9500
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
9501
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
9502
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
9503
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
9505
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
9506
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
9507
with the ``--forward`` option.
9509
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
9510
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
9517
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
9518
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
9520
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
9522
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
9523
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
9525
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
9527
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
9528
either read or write mode.
9530
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
9532
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
9535
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
9537
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
9538
suggested by LarstiQ.
9540
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
9541
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
9543
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
9546
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
9547
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
9549
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
9550
haven't changed since the previous time.
9552
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
9553
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
9555
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
9557
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
9559
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
9560
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
9562
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
9563
options through to an external GNU diff.
9565
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
9568
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
9575
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
9576
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
9578
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
9585
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
9586
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
9589
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
9590
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
9592
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
9593
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
9595
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
9596
under a different version.
9598
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
9604
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
9606
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
9607
Scott James Remnant.
9609
* Better help messages for many commands.
9611
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
9612
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
9614
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
9615
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
9617
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
9619
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
9621
* New AtomicFile class.
9623
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
9629
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.

2.4 is now only recommended.

9659
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
9660
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
9661
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
9662
there are DNS problems.
