.. contents:: List of Releases
19
* ``merge --interactive`` applies a user-selected portion of the merge. The UI
20
is similar to ``shelve``. (Aaron Bentley)
25
* BranchBuilder now accepts timezone to avoid test failures in countries far
26
from GMT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #397716)
28
* ``bzr commit`` no longer saves the unversioning of missing files until
29
the commit has completed on the branch. This means that aborting a
30
commit that found a missing file will leave the tree unedited.
31
(Robert Collins, #282402)
33
* ``bzr mv`` no longer takes out branch locks, which allows it to work
34
when the branch is readonly. (Robert Collins, #216541)
36
* Fixed spurious "Source branch does not support stacking" warning when
37
pushing. (Andrew Bennetts, #388908)
39
* Renames to lexographically lower basenames in trees that have never been
40
committed to will no longer corrupt the dirstate. This was caused by an
41
bug in the dirstate update_minimal method. (Robert Collins, #395556)
43
* Requests for unknown methods no longer cause the smart server to log
44
lots of backtraces about ``UnknownSmartMethod``, ``do_chunk`` or
45
``do_end``. (Andrew Bennetts, #338561)
47
* ``WorkingTree4.unversion`` will no longer fail to unversion ids which
48
were present in a parent tree but renamed in the working tree.
49
(Robert Collins, #187207)
57
* Added Bazaar 2.0 Upgrade Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
62
* New TransformPreview.commit() allows committing without a working tree.

############################################
72
Bazaar continues to blaze a straight and shining path to the 2.0 release and
73
the elevation of the ``2a`` beta format to the full glory of "supported and
76
Highlights in this release include greatly reduced memory consumption during
77
commits, faster ``ls``, faster ``annotate``, faster network operations if
78
you're specifying a revision number and the final destruction of those
79
annoying progress bar artifacts.
85
* ``bzr register-branch`` from the Launchpad plugin now refers to "project"
86
instead of "product" which is the correct Launchpad terminology. The
87
--product option is deprecated and users should switch to using --project.
88
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #238764)
94
* ``bzr push`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
95
are present in the working tree (if one is present) and no revision is
96
speified. The configuration option ``push_strict`` can be used to set the
97
default for this behavior. (Vincent Ladeuil, #284038, #322808, #65286)
99
* ``bzr revno`` and ``bzr revision-info`` now have a ``--tree`` option to
100
show revision info for the working tree instead of the branch.
101
(Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
103
* ``bzr send`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
104
are present in the working tree and no revision is specified. The
105
configuration option ``send_strict`` can be used to set the default for this
107
(Vincent Ladeuil, #206577)
109
* ``bzr switch --create-branch/-b`` can now be used to create and switch
110
to a new branch. Supplying a name without a ``/`` will create the branch
111
relative to the existing branch. (similar to how ``bzr switch name``
112
works when the branch already exists.) (John Arbash Meinel)
118
* Accept uppercase "Y/N" to prompts such as from break lock.
119
(#335182, Tim Powell, Martin Pool)
121
* Add documentation about diverged branches and how to fix them in the
122
centralized workflow with local commits. Mention ``bzr help
123
diverged-branches`` when a push fails because the branches have
124
diverged. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #269477)
126
* Annotate would sometimes 'latch on' to trivial lines, causing important
127
lines to be incorrectly annotated. (John Arbash Meinel, #387952)
129
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
130
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
131
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
133
* Avoid progress bar artifacts being left behind on the screen.
134
(Martin Pool, #321935)
136
* Better message in ``bzr split`` error suggesting a rich root format.
137
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #220067)
139
* ``Branch.set_append_revisions_only`` now works with branches on a smart
140
server. (Andrew Bennetts, #365865)
142
* By default, ``bzr branch`` will fail if the target directory exists, but
143
does not already have a control directory. The flag ``--use-existing-dir``
144
will allow operation to proceed. (Alexander Belchenko, #307554)
146
* ``bzr ls DIR --from-root`` now shows only things in DIR, not everything.
149
* Fetch between repositories does not error if they have inconsistent data
150
that should be irrelevant to the fetch operation. (Aaron Bentley)
152
* Fix ``AttributeError`` exception when reconfiguring lightweight checkout
153
of a remote repository.
154
(Jelmer Vernooij, #332194)
156
* Fix bug in decoding v3 smart server messages when receiving multiple
157
lots of excess bytes after an end-of-message.
160
* Force deletion of readonly files during merge, update and other tree
162
(Craig Hewetson, Martin Pool, #218206)
164
* Force socket shutdown in threaded http test servers to avoid client hangs
165
(pycurl). (Vincent Ladeuil, #383920).
167
* ``LRUCache`` will maintain the linked list pointers even if a nodes
168
cleanup function raises an exception. (John Arbash Meinel, #396838)
170
* Progress bars are now suppressed again when the environment variable
171
``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` is set to ``none``.
172
(Martin Pool, #339385)
174
* Reduced memory consumption during ``bzr commit`` of large files. For
175
pre 2a formats, should be down to ~3x the size of a file.
176
For ``--2a`` format repositories, it is down to the size of the file
177
content plus the size of the compressed text. Related to bug #109114.
180
* Set hidden attribute on .bzr directory below unicode path should never
181
fail with error. The operation should succeed even if bzr unable to set
182
the attribute. (Alexander Belchenko, related to bug #335362).
184
* Stacking will no longer accept requests to stack on the same
185
branch/repository. Existing branches that incorrectly reference the same
186
repository in a stacking configuration will now raise
187
UnstackableLocationError when the branch is opened. This can be fixed by
188
removing the stacking location inside ``.bzr/branch``.
189
(Robert Collins, #376243)
191
* The ``log+`` decorator, useful in debugging or profiling, could cause
192
"AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'next'". This is now
193
fixed. The log decorator no longer shows the elapsed time or transfer
194
rate because they're available in the log prefixes and the transport
195
activity display respectively.
196
(Martin Pool, #340347)
198
* Unshelve works correctly when multiple zero-length files are present on
199
the shelf. (Aaron Bentley, #363444)
201
* Progress bars no longer show the network transport scheme or direction.
204
* launchpad-login now respects the 'verbose' option.
205
(Jonathan Lange, #217031)
211
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is now officially deprecated. It is not
212
possible to write a deprecation wrapper, but the variable will be
213
removed in the near future. Use ``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding()``
214
instead. (Alexander Belchenko)
216
* Command lookup has had hooks added. ``bzrlib.Command.hooks`` has
217
three new hook points: ``get_command``, ``get_missing_command`` and
218
``list_commands``, which allow just-in-time command name provision
219
rather than requiring all command names be known a-priori.
222
* ``get_app_path`` from win32utils.py now supports REG_EXPAND_SZ data type
223
and can read path to wordpad.exe. (Alexander Belchenko, #392046)
225
* ``graph.KnownGraph`` has been added. This is a class that can give
226
answers to ``heads()`` very quickly. However, it has the assumption that
227
the whole graph has already been loaded. This is true during
228
``annotate`` so it is used there with good success (as much as 2x faster
229
for files with long ancestry and 'cherrypicked' changes.)
230
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
232
* OS file locks are now taken out using ``CreateFile`` rather than
233
``LockFileEx`` on Windows. The locking remains exclusive with
234
``LockFileEx`` but now it also works on older versions of Windows (such
235
as Win98). (Martin <gzlist>)
237
* pack <=> pack fetching is now done via a ``PackStreamSource`` rather
238
than the ``Packer`` code. The user visible change is that we now
239
properly fetch the minimum number of texts for non-smart fetching.
243
* ``VersionedFiles._add_text`` is a new api that lets us insert text into
244
the repository as a single string, rather than a list of lines. This can
245
improve memory overhead and performance of committing large files.
246
(Currently a private api, used only by commit). (John Arbash Meinel)
252
* ``bzr annotate`` can now be significantly faster. The time for
253
``bzr annotate NEWS`` is down to 7s from 22s in 1.16. Files with long
254
histories and lots of 'duplicate insertions' will be improved more than
255
others. (John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
257
* ``bzr ls`` is now faster. On OpenOffice.org, the time drops from 2.4
258
to 1.1 seconds. The improvement for ``bzr ls -r-1`` is more
259
substantial dropping from 54.3 to 1.1 seconds. (Ian Clatworthy)
261
* Improve "Path(s) are not versioned" error reporting for some commands.
264
* Initial commit performance in ``--2a`` repositories has been improved by
265
making it cheaper to build the initial CHKMap. (John Arbash Meinel)
267
* Resolving a revno to a revision id on a branch accessed via ``bzr://``
268
or ``bzr+ssh://`` is now much faster and involves no VFS operations.
269
This speeds up commands like ``bzr pull -r 123``. (Andrew Bennetts)
271
* ``revision-info`` now properly aligns the revnos/revids in the output
272
and doesn't traceback when given revisions not in the current branch.
273
Performance is also significantly improved when requesting multiple revs
274
at once. (Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
276
* Tildes are no longer escaped by Transports. (Andy Kilner)
282
* Avoid bad text wrapping in generated documentation. Slightly better
283
formatting in the user reference.
284
(Martin Pool, #249908)
286
* Minor clarifications to the help for End-Of-Line conversions.
292
* Removed overspecific error class ``InvalidProgressBarType``.
295
* The method ``ProgressView._show_transport_activity`` is now
296
``show_transport_activity`` because it's part of the contract between
297
this class and the UI. (Martin Pool)

301
#####################
303
End user testing of the 2a format revealed two serious bugs. The first,
304
#365615, caused bzr to raise AbsentContentFactory errors when autopacking.
305
This meant that commits or pushes to 2a-format repositories failed
308
The second bug, #390563, caused the smart server to raise AbsentContentFactory
309
when streaming 2a stacked 2a-format branches. This particularly affected
310
branches stored on Launchpad in the 2a format.
312
Both of these bugs cause command failures only, neither of them cause data
313
corruption or data loss. And, of course, both of these bugs are now fixed.
318
* We now properly request a more minimal set of file texts when fetching
319
multiple revisions. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
321
* Repositories using CHK pages (which includes the new 2a format) will no
322
longer error during commit or push operations when an autopack operation
323
is triggered. (Robert Collins, #365615)
325
* ``chk_map.iter_interesting_nodes`` now properly uses the *intersection*
326
of referenced nodes rather than the *union* to determine what
327
uninteresting pages we still need to look at. Prior to this,
328
incrementally pushing to stacked branch would push the minimal data, but
329
fetching everything would request extra texts. There are some unhandled
330
cases wrt trees of different depths, but this fixes the common cases.
331
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
333
* ``GroupCompress`` repositories now take advantage of the pack hints
334
parameter to permit cross-format fetching to incrementally pack the
335
converted data. (Robert Collins)
337
* ``Repository.commit_write_group`` now returns opaque data about what
338
was committed, for passing to the ``Repository.pack``. Repositories
339
without atomic commits will still return None. (Robert Collins)
341
* ``Repository.pack`` now takes an optional ``hint`` parameter
342
which will support doing partial packs for repositories that can do
343
that. (Robert Collins)
345
* RepositoryFormat has a new attribute 'pack_compresses' which is True
346
when doing a pack operation changes the compression of content in the
347
repository. (Robert Collins)
349
* ``StreamSink`` and ``InterDifferingSerialiser`` will call
350
``Repository.pack`` with the hint returned by
351
``Repository.commit_write_group`` if the formats were different and the
352
repository can increase compression by doing a pack operation.

357
##################################################
358
:Codename: yesterday-in-california
362
This version of Bazaar contains the beta release of the new ``2a`` repository
363
format, suitable for testing by fearless, advanced users. This format or an
364
updated version of it will become the default format in Bazaar 2.0. Please
365
read the NEWS entry before even thinking about upgrading to the new format.
367
Also included are speedups for many operations on huge projects, a bug fix for
368
pushing stacked new stacked branches to smart servers and the usual bevy of
369
bug fixes and improvements.
372
Changes from 1.16rc1 to 1.16final
373
*********************************
375
* Fix the nested tree flag check so that upgrade from development formats to
376
2a can work correctly.
377
(Jelmer Vernooij, #388727)
379
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
380
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
381
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
387
* Display prompt on stderr (instead of stdout) when querying users so
388
that the output of commands can be safely redirected.
389
(Vincent Ladeuil, #376582)
395
* A new repository format ``2a`` has been added. This is a beta release
396
of the the brisbane-core (aka group-compress) project. This format now
397
suitable for wider testing by advanced users willing to deal with some
398
bugs. We would appreciate test reports, either positive or negative.
399
Format 2a is substantially smaller and faster for many operations on
400
many trees. This format or an updated version will become the default
403
This is a rich-root format, so this repository format can be used with
404
bzr-svn. Bazaar branches in previous non-rich-root formats can be
405
converted (including by merge, push and pull) to format 2a, but not vice
406
versa. We recommend upgrading previous development formats to 2a.
408
Upgrading to this format can take considerable time because it expands
409
and more concisely repacks the full history.
411
If you use stacked branches, you must upgrade the stacked branches
412
before the stacked-on branches. (See <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/374735>)
414
* ``--development7-rich-root`` is a new dev format, similar to ``--dev6``
415
but using a Revision serializer using bencode rather than XML.
416
(Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
418
* mail_client=claws now supports --body (and message body hooks). Also uses
419
configured from address. (Barry Warsaw)
425
* ``--development6-rich-root`` can now stack. (Modulo some smart-server
426
bugs with stacking and non default formats.)
427
(John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
429
* ``--development6-rich-root`` delays generating a delta index for the
430
first object inserted into a group. This has a beneficial impact on
431
``bzr commit`` since each committed texts goes to its own group. For
432
committing a 90MB file, it drops peak memory by about 200MB, and speeds
433
up commit from 7s => 4s. (John Arbash Meinel)
435
* Numerous operations are now faster for huge projects, i.e. those
436
with a large number of files and/or a large number of revisions,
437
particularly when the latest development format is used. These
438
operations (and improvements on OpenOffice.org) include:
440
* branch in a shared repository (2X faster)
441
* branch --no-tree (100X faster)
447
* Pyrex version of ``bencode`` support. This provides optimized support
448
for both encoding and decoding, and is now found at ``bzrlib.bencode``.
449
``bzrlib.utils.bencode`` is now deprecated.
450
(Alexander Belchenko, Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
456
* Bazaar can now pass attachment files to the mutt email client.
457
(Edwin Grubbs, #384158)
459
* Better message in ``bzr add`` output suggesting using ``bzr ignored`` to
460
see which files can also be added. (Jason Spashett, #76616)
462
* ``bzr pull -r 123`` from a stacked branch on a smart server no longer fails.
463
Also, the ``Branch.revision_history()`` API now works in the same
464
situation. (Andrew Bennetts, #380314)
466
* ``bzr serve`` on Windows no longer displays a traceback simply because a
467
TCP client disconnected. (Andrew Bennetts)
469
* Clarify the rules for locking and fallback repositories. Fix bugs in how
470
``RemoteRepository`` was handling fallbacks along with the
471
``_real_repository``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #375496)
473
* Fix a small bug with fetching revisions w/ ghosts into a new stacked
474
branch. Not often triggered, because it required ghosts to be part of
475
the fetched revisions, not in the stacked-on ancestry.
478
* Fix status and commit to work with content filtered trees, addressing
479
numerous bad bugs with line-ending support. (Ian Clatworthy, #362030)
481
* Fix problem of "directory not empty" when contending for a lock over
482
sftp. (Martin Pool, #340352)
484
* Fix rule handling so that eol is optional, not mandatory.
485
(Ian Clatworthy, #379370)
487
* Pushing a new stacked branch to a 1.15 smart server was broken due to a
488
bug in the ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` smart verb. This is fixed in
489
1.16, but required changes to the network protocol, so the
490
``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` verb has been removed and replaced with a
491
corrected ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex_1.16`` verb. 1.15 clients will
492
still work with a 1.16 server as they will fallback to slower (and
494
(Jonathan Lange, Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts, #385132)
496
* Reconcile can now deal with text revisions that originated in revisions
497
that are ghosts. (Jelmer Vernooij, #336749)
499
* Support cloning of branches with ghosts in the left hand side history.
500
(Jelmer Vernooij, #248540)
502
* The ''bzr diff'' now catches OSError from osutils.rmtree and logs a
503
helpful message to the trace file, unless the temp directory really was
504
removed (which would be very strange). Since the diff operation has
505
succeeded from the user's perspective, no output is written to stderr
506
or stdout. (Maritza Mendez, #363837)
508
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
509
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
510
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
511
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
516
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in Russian.
517
(Alexey Shtokalo, Alexander Iljin, Alexander Belchenko, Dmitry Vasiliev,
523
* Added osutils.parent_directories(). (Ian Clatworthy)
525
* ``bzrlib.progress.ProgressBar``, ``ChildProgress``, ``DotsProgressBar``,
526
``TTYProgressBar`` and ``child_progress`` are now deprecated; use
527
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` instead. (Martin Pool)
529
* ``graph.StackedParentsProvider`` is now a public API, replacing
530
``graph._StackedParentsProvider``. The api is now considered stable and ready
531
for external users. (Gary van der Merwe)
533
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is deprecated in favor of
534
``get_user_encoding``. (Alexander Belchenko)
536
* TreeTransformBase no longer assumes that limbo is provided via disk.
537
DiskTreeTransform now provides disk functionality. (Aaron Bentley)
542
* Remove ``weave.py`` script for accessing internals of old weave-format
543
repositories. (Martin Pool)
548
* The number of cores is now correctly detected on OSX. (John Szakmeister)
550
* The number of cores is also detected on Solaris and win32. (Vincent Ladeuil)
552
* The number of cores is also detected on FreeBSD. (Matthew Fuller)
561
The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming content
562
with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search. New command ``bzr
563
dpush``. Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two
564
revisions introduce the exact same line.
566
Changes from 1.15.1 to 1.15.2
567
*****************************
569
* Use zdll on Windows to build ``_chk_map_pyx`` extension.
570
(Alexander Belchenko)
572
Changes from 1.15final to 1.15.1
573
*********************************
575
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
576
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
577
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
578
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
580
Changes from 1.15rc1 to 1.15final
581
*********************************
588
* ``bzr ls`` is no longer recursive by default. To recurse, use the
589
new ``-R`` option. The old ``--non-recursive`` option has been removed.
590
If you alias ``ls`` to ``ls -R``, you can disable recursion using
591
``--no-recursive`` instead. (Ian Clatworthy)
596
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
597
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
600
* The new development format ``--development6-rich-root`` now supports
601
stacking. We chose not to use a new format marker, since old clients
602
will just fail to open stacked branches, the same as if we used a new
603
format flag. (John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
605
* Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two revisions
606
introduce the exact same line. See ``bzrlib.annotate._break_annotation_tie``
607
Be aware though that this is temporary, private (as indicated by the leading
608
'_') and a first step to address the problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #348459)
610
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
611
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
614
* ``bzr send`` will now check the ``child_submit_format`` setting in
615
the submit branch to determine what format to use, if none was
616
specified on the command-line. (Jelmer Vernooij)
621
* -Dhpss output now includes the number of VFS calls made to the remote
622
server. (Jonathan Lange)
624
* ``--coverage`` works for code running in threads too.
625
(Andrew Bennets, Vincent Ladeuil)
627
* ``bzr pull`` now has a ``--local`` option to only make changes to the
628
local branch, and not the bound master branch.
629
(Gary van der Merwe, #194716)
631
* ``bzr rm *`` is now as fast as ``bzr rm * --keep``. (Johan Walles, #180116)
636
* Adding now works properly when path contains a symbolic link.
637
(Geoff Bache, #183831)
639
* An error is now raised for unknown eol values. (Brian de Alwis, #358199)
641
* ``bzr merge --weave`` will now generate a conflict if one side deletes a
642
line, and the other side modifies the line. (John Arbash Meinel, #328171)
644
* ``bzr reconfigure --standalone`` no longer raises IncompatibleRepositories.
645
(Martin von Gagern, #248932)
647
* ``bzr send`` works to send emails again using MAPI.
648
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #346998)
650
* Check for missing parent inventories in StreamSink. This prevents
651
incomplete stacked branches being created by 1.13 bzr:// and
652
bzr+ssh:// clients (which have bug #354036). Instead, the server now
653
causes those clients to send the missing records. (Andrew Bennetts)
655
* Correctly handle http servers proposing multiple authentication schemes.
656
(Vincent Ladeuil, #366107)
658
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
659
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
661
* Fix a bug in the pure-python ``GroupCompress`` code when handling copies
662
longer than 64KiB. (John Arbash Meinel, #364900)
664
* Fix TypeError in running ``bzr break-lock`` on some URLs.
665
(Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #365891)
667
* Non-recursive ``bzr ls`` now works properly when a path is specified.
668
(Jelmer Vernooij, #357863)
670
* ssh usernames (defined in ~/.ssh/config) are honoured for bzr+ssh connections.
671
(Vincent Ladeuil, #367726)
673
* Several bugs related to unicode symlinks have been fixed and the test suite
674
enhanced to better catch regressions for them. (Vincent Ladeuil)
676
* The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming
677
content with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search: it assumes
678
that the client will make sure it is happy with what it got, and this
679
sort of mismatch is normal for stacked environments.
680
bzr 1.13.0/1 will stream from unstacked branches only - in that case not
681
getting all the content expected would be a bug. However the graph
682
search is how we figured out what we wanted, so a mismatch is both odd
683
and unrecoverable without starting over, and starting over will end up
684
with the same data as if we just permitted the mismatch. If data is
685
gc'd, doing a new search will find only the truncated data, so sending
686
only the truncated data seems reasonable. bzr versions newer than this
687
will stream from stacked branches and check the stream to find missing
688
content in the stacked-on branch, and thus will handle the situation
689
implicitly. (Robert Collins, #360791)
691
* Upgrading to, or fetching into a 'rich-root' format will now correctly
692
set the root data the same way that reconcile does.
693
(Robert Collins, #368921)
695
* Using unicode Windows API to obtain command-line arguments.
696
(Alexander Belchenko, #375934)
704
* ``InterPackRepo.fetch`` and ``RepoFetcher`` now raise ``NoSuchRevision``
705
instead of ``InstallFailed`` when they detect a missing revision.
706
``InstallFailed`` itself has been deleted. (Jonathan Lange)
708
* Not passing arguments to ``bzrlib.commands.main()`` will now grab the
709
arguments from ``osutils.get_unicode_argv()`` which has proper support
710
for unicode arguments on windows. Further, the supplied arguments are now
711
required to be unicode strings, rather than user_encoded strings.
712
(Alexander Belchenko)
717
* ``bzrlib.branch.Branch.set_parent`` is now present on the base branch
718
class and will call ``_set_parent_location`` after doing unicode
719
encoding. (Robert Collins)
721
* ``bzrlib.remote.RemoteBranch._set_parent_location`` will use a new verb
722
``Branch.set_parent_location`` removing further VFS operations.
725
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir._get_config`` now returns a ``TransportConfig``
726
or similar when the dir supports configuration settings. The base class
727
defaults to None. There is a matching new server verb
728
``BzrDir.get-config_file`` to reduce roundtrips for getting BzrDir
729
configuration. (Robert Collins)
731
* ``bzrlib.tests.ExtendedTestResult`` has new methods ``startTests``
732
called before the first test is started, ``done`` called after the last
733
test completes, and a new parameter ``strict``. (Robert Collins)
735
* ``-Dhpss`` when passed to bzr will cause a backtrace to be printed when
736
VFS operations are started on a smart server repository. This should not
737
occur on regular push and pull operations, and is a key indicator for
738
performance regressions. (Robert Collins)
740
* ``-Dlock`` when passed to the selftest (e.g. ``bzr -Dlock selftest``) will
741
cause mismatched physical locks to cause test errors rather than just
742
reporting to the screen. (Robert Collins)
744
* Fallback ``CredentialStore`` instances registered with ``fallback=True``
745
are now be able to provide credentials if obtaining credentials
746
via ~/.bazaar/authentication.conf fails. (Jelmer Vernooij,
747
Vincent Ladeuil, #321918)
749
* New hook ``Lock.lock_broken`` which runs when a lock is
750
broken. This is mainly for testing that lock/unlock are
751
balanced in tests. (Vincent Ladeuil)
753
* New MergeDirective hook 'merge_request_body' allows hooks to supply or
754
alter a body for the message produced by ``bzr send``.
756
* New smart server verb ``BzrDir.initialize_ex`` which implements a
757
refactoring to the core of clone allowing less round trips on new
758
branches. (Robert Collins)
760
* New method ``Tags.rename_revisions`` that can rename revision ids tags
761
are pointing at. (Jelmer Vernooij)
763
* Updated the bundled ``ConfigObj`` library to 4.6.0 (Matt Nordhoff)
768
* ``bzr selftest`` will now fail if lock/unlock are not correctly balanced in
769
tests. Using ``-Dlock`` will turn the related failures into warnings.
770

*******************************
799
* Fix for bug 358037 Revision not in
800
bzrlib.groupcompress.GroupCompressVersionedFiles (Brian de Alwis,
803
* Fix for bug 354036 ErrorFromSmartServer - AbsentContentFactory object has no
804

805
(Jean-Francois Roy, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
807
* Fix for bug 355280 eol content filters are never loaded and thus never
808
applied (Brian de Alwis, Ian Clatworthy)
810
* bzr.dev -r4280 Change _fetch_uses_deltas = False for CHK repos until we can
811

(Marius Kruger, Ian Clatworthy)
816
* bzr.dev r4289 as cherrypicked at lp:~spiv/bzr/stacking-cherrypick-1.14
817
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
822
* A previously disabled code path to accelerate getting configuration
823
settings from a smart server has been reinstated. We think this *may*
824
cause a incompatibility with servers older than bzr 0.15. We intend
825
to issue a point release to address this if it turns out to be a
826
problem. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
828
* bzr no longer autodetects nested trees as 'tree-references'. They
829
must now be explicitly added tree references. At the commandline, use
830
join --reference instead of add. (Aaron Bentley)
832
* The ``--long`` log format (the default) no longer shows merged
833
revisions implicitly, making it consistent with the ``short`` and
834
``line`` log formats. To see merged revisions for just a given
835
revision, use ``bzr log -n0 -rX``. To see every merged revision,
836
use ``bzr log -n0``. (Ian Clatworthy)
841
* New formats ``1.14`` and ``1.14-rich-root`` supporting End-Of-Line
842
(EOL) conversions, keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin)
843
and generic content filtering. These formats replace the experimental
844
``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root`` formats
845
respectively, but have support for filtered views disabled.
848
* New ``mv --auto`` option recognizes renames after they occur.
851
* ``bzr`` can now get passwords from stdin without requiring a controlling
852
terminal (i.e. by redirecting stdin). (Vincent Ladeuil)
854
* ``bzr log`` now supports filtering of multiple files and directories
855
and will show changes that touch any of them. Furthermore,
856
directory filtering now shows the changes to any children of that
857
directory, not just the directory object itself.
858
(Ian Clatworthy, #97715)
860
* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the
861
shelf, via the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
863
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
866
* ``bzr xxx --usage`` where xxx is a command now shows a usage
867
message and the options without the descriptive help sections
868
(like Description and Examples). A message is also given
869
explaining how to see the complete help, i.e. ``bzr help xxx``.
872
* Content filters can now be used to provide custom conversion
873
between the canonical format of content (i.e. as stored) and
874
the convenience format of content (i.e. as created in working
875
trees). See ``bzr help content-filters`` for further details.
876
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
878
* End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting
879
content filtering. See ``bzr help eol`` for details.
882
* Newly-blessed `join` command allows combining two trees into one.
888
* A new format name alias ``default-rich-root`` has been added and
889
points at the closest relative of the default format that supports
890
rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
892
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
893
the data when the target repository does not need topological
894
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
895
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
896
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
898
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
899
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
902
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
903
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
904
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
906
* ``bzr log`` now has ``--include-merges`` as an alias for ``--levels 0``.
909
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
912
* IPv6 literals are accepted in URLs.
913
(stlman, Martin Pool, Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
915
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
916
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
918
* Prompt for user names if they are not in the configuration.
919
(Jelmer Vernooij, #256612)
921
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server
922
now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
925
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
926
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
927
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
929
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
930
to "Ignoring files outside view. View is .." to reduce confusion
931
about what was being considered and what was being ignored.
934
* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
935
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
936
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
937
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
939
* The ``brisbane-core`` project has delivered its beta format
940
``development6-rich-root``. This format is suitable for judicious
941
testing by early adopters. In particular if you are benchmarking bzr
942
performance please be sure to test using this format. At this stage
943
more information is best obtained by contacting the Bazaar mailing list
944
or IRC channel if you are interested in using this format. We will make
945
end user documentation available closer to blessing the format as
946
production ready. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Ian Clatworthy,
947
Vincent Ladeuil, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
949
* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!
955
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
956
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
957
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
958
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
959
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
960
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
961
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
963
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
964
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
966
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
967
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
968
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
969
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
971
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log
972
-m``. (Anne Mohsen, Martin Pool)
974
* ``bzr split`` now says "See also: join" (Aaron Bentley, #335015)
976
* ``bzr version-info`` now works in empty branches. (Jelmer Vernooij,
979
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
980
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
981
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
983
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
984
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
986
* Fix 'make check-dist-tarball' failure by converting paths to unicode when
987
needed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355454)
989
* Fixed "Specified file 'x/y/z' is outside current view: " occurring
990
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
991
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
993
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
994
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
995
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
996
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
998
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
1000
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
1001
(Vincent Ladeuil, #346593)
1003
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
1004
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
1005
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
1006
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
1007
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
1009
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
1010
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
1011
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
1012
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
1013
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
1014
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
1015
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1017
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX. Several minor issues (mostly
1018
test related) have been fixed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355273).
1020
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
1021
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
1024
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
1025
(James Westby, #341558)
1027
* The help for the ``info`` command has been corrected.
1028
(Ian Clatworthy, #351931)
1030
* Upgrade will now use a sensible default format if the source repository
1031
uses rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #252908)
1036
* Expanded the index of the developer documentation. (Eric Siegerman)
1038
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
1040
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.
1041
(James Westby, #336998)
1046
* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous versions of bzr are now removed.
1049
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
1050
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
1053
* New abstract ``UIFactory`` method ``get_username`` which will be called to
1054
obtain the username to use when connecting to remote machines.
1057
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
1058
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
1059
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
1061
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
1062
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
1063
Meinel, Robert Collins)
1065
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
1066
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
1067
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
1068
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
1071
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
1072
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
1075
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
1078
* The ``Serializer`` class and the serializer ``format registry`` have moved
1079
from ``bzrlib.xml_serializer`` to ``bzrlib.serializer``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1081
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
1082
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
1083
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
1084
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1086
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
1087
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
1088
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
1093
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
1094
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
1095
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
1096
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
1097
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1099
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
1100
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
1102
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
1103
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
1104
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
1105
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
1111
* Added ``chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string maps.
1112
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1114
* Added ``bzrlib.chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string
1115
maps. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1117
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
1118
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
1119
streaming on the the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1121
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
1122
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
1123
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
1124
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1126
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
1127
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
1128
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
1129
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1131
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
1132
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
1133
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1135
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
1136
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
1137
dependency. (Robert Collins)
1139
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
1140
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
1141
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1143
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
1144
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
1147
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
1148
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
1149
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
1151
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
1152
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1154
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
1155
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
1156
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1158
* New hook ``RioVersionInfoBuilder.revision``, allowing extra entries
1159
to be added to the stanza that is printed for a particular revision.
1162
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
1163
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
1164
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1166
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
1167
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
1168
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
1169
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
1170
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
1172
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
1173
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
1174
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
1175
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1177
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
1178
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
1179
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
1180
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1182
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
1183
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
1184
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1186
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
1187
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
1190
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
1191
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
1192
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
1194
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
1195
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
1196
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
1197
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
1198
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
1200
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
1201
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only linux
1202
machine work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,
1205
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
1206
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
1207
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
1208
desired. (Robert Collins)
1210
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include
1211
information about ghosts when the special revision ``include-missing:``
1212
is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
1213
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1215
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
1216
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
1217
regardless of ``InterRepository``.

GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``. Debug
1230
flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``. Lightweight checkouts and
1231
stacked branches should both be much faster over remote connections.
1233
Changes From 1.13.1 to 1.13.2
1234
*****************************
1236
A regression was found in the 1.13.1 release. When bzr 1.13.1 and earlier push
1237
a stacked branch they do not take care to push all the parent inventories for
1238
the transferred revisions. This means that a smart server serving that branch
1239
often cannot calculate inventory deltas for the branch (because smart server
1240
does not/cannot open fallback repositories). Prior to 1.13 the server did not
1241
have a verb to stream revisions out of a repository, so that's why this bug has
1247
* Fix for bug 354036 ErrorFromSmartServer - AbsentContentFactory object has no
1248
attribute 'get_bytes_as' exception while pulling from Launchpad
1249
(Jean-Francois Roy, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1251
Changes From 1.13final to 1.13.1
1252
********************************
1254
A couple regessions where found in the 1.13 release. The pyrex-generated C
1255
extensions are missing from the .tar.gz and .zip files. Documentation on how
1256
to generate GNU ChangeLogs is wrong.
1261
* Change ``./bzr``'s ``_script_version`` to match ./bzrlib/__init__.py
1262
version_info. (Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, #345232)
1264
* Distribution archives for 1.13 do not contain generated C extension modules
1265
(Jean-Francois Roy, Bob Tanner, #344465)
1267
* GNU ChangeLog output can now be produced by bzr log --format gnu-changelog is
1268
incorrect (Deejay, Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #343928)
1270
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
1272
Changes From 1.13rc1 to 1.13final
1273
*********************************
1275
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
1276
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
1277
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
1279
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
1280
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
1282
Compatibility Breaks
1283
********************
1285
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
1286
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
1287
command may need to be adjusted.
1288
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1293
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
1294
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
1295
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
1297
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
1300
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
1301
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
1302
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
1305
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
1306
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
1308
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
1309
(John Arbash Meinel)
1311
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
1312
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
1314
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernoij)
1316
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
1317
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
1320
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
1326
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
1327
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
1328
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
1329
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
1330
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
1331
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
1332
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
1333
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
1336
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
1337
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
1339
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
1340
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
1341
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
1343
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
1344
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
1346
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
1347
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
1348
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
1351
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
1352
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
1353
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1355
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
1356
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
1357
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
1358
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1360
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
1363
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
1364
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
1366
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
1367
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
1369
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
1370
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
1371
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
1373
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
1378
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
1379
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
1381
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
1382
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
1383
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
1385
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
1386
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
1387
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
1389
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
1390
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
1392
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
1393
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
1396
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
1397
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
1398
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
1400
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
1401
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
1403
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
1404
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
1406
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
1407
(James Westby, #174539)
1409
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
1410
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
1412
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
1413
error branching from old repositories.
1414
(Martin Pool, #321695)
1416
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
1417
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
1419
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
1420
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
1421
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
1422
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1424
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
1425
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko,
1428
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
1429
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
1431
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
1432
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
1434
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
1435
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
1436
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1438
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
1439
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
1441
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.
1442
(Benoît Pierre, Aaron Bentley)
1447
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
1448
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
1449
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
1452
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
1453
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
1455
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.
1456
(Daniel Watkins, #327421, #327425)
1461
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
1462
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
1463
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
1464
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
1465
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
1467
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
1468
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1470
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
1471
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
1472
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
1473
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
1474
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
1475
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
1477
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
1478
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
1480
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
1481
"author" argument being deprecated.
1483
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
1485
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
1486
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
1487
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
1488
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
1490
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
1491
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
1492
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
1494
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
1495
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
1496
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
1498
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
1499
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
1501
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
1502
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
1503
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
1504
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
1509
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
1510
free of virtual file system methods.
1511
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1513
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
1514
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
1515
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
1517
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
1518
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
1519
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
1520
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
1521
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
1522
(Robert Collins, #334187)
1524
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
1526
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
1527
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
1529
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
1530
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
1531
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
1532
stream the operation.
1533
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1535
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
1536
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
1538
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
1539
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
1540
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
1541
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
1542
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
1544
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
1545
branch object. (Robert Collins)
1547
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
1548
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
1549
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
1551
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
1552
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
1555
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
1558
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
1559
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
1560
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1562
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
1563
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
1564
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1566
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
1567
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
1568
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1570
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
1571
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
1572
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1574
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
1575
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
1576
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
1577
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
1578
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
1580
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
1581
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
1582
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
1583
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
1584
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
1585
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
1587
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
1588
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
1589
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
1590
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
1591
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1593
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
1594
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1596
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
1597
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
1599
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
1600
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
1601
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
1602
to access private data in record to obtain content more
1603
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
1605
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
1606
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.

1617
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
1618
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
1619
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
1620
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
1621
by showing the rate of network IO.
1623
Changes from RC1 to Final
1624
*************************
1626
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
1627
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
1629
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
1630
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
1632
Compatibility Breaks
1633
********************
1635
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
1636
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
1637
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
1638
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
1640
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
1641
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
1642
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
1645
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
1646
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
1647
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
1648
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1650
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
1651
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
1652
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
1655
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1660
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
1661
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
1662
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
1665
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
1666
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
1667
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
1669
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
1670
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
1671
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
1672
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
1673
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
1674
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
1675
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
1676
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
1677
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
1683
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
1686
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
1689
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
1690
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
1691
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
1693
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
1694
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
1695
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
1696
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
1697
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
1699
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
1700
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
1702
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
1703
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
1704
level for better precision.
1707
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
1708
rules. (Marius Kruger)
1710
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
1711
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
1712
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
1714
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
1715
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
1716
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
1719
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
1720
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
1721
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
1726
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
1728
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
1730
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
1731
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
1732
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
1734
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
1735
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
1736
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
1737
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
1738
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
1739
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
1741
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
1742
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
1744
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
1745
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
1747
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
1748
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
1749
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
1751
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
1752
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
1753
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
1756
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
1757
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
1759
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
1760
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
1761
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
1762
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
1764
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
1765
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
1767
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1769
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)
1774
* Improved plugin developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
1779
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
1780
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
1783
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
1784
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1786
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
1787
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1789
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
1790
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1792
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
1793
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
1794
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
1795
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
1797
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
1798
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
1799
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
1804
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
1805
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
1806
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
1807
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
1808
compile buffers, are such an example).
1811
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
1812
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
1815
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
1816
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
1817
efficient way of doing the mapping.
1820
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
1821
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
1823
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
1824
formatters to retrict the output.

##############################
1831
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
1832
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
1833
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
1834
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
1835
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
1837
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
1838
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
1841
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
1842
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.
1847
* Fix failing test when CompiledChunksToLines is not available.
1850
* Stacked branches don't repeatedly open their transport connection.

1856
#################################
1861
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
1862
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1867
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
1868
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
1870
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
1871
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
1872
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
1873
implement other plugins.
1876
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
1882
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
1883
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
1885
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
1886
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
1888
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
1889
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
1890
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
1891
processes which drag in shell extensions.
1894
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
1895
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
1896
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
1897
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
1898
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
1900
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
1901
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
1902
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
1903
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
1904
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
1909
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
1910
control directory. (#139691)
1912
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
1913
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
1915
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
1916
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
1918
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
1919
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
1920
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
1922
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
1923
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
1925
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
1926
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
1927
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
1929
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
1930
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
1932
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
1935
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
1936
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
1937
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
1939
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
1940
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
1942
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
1943
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
1944
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
1946
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
1947
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
1948
in the appropriate sections.
1949
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
1951
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
1952
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
1953
(John Arbash meinel)
1955
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
1956
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
1958
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
1959
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
1961
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
1962
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1964
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
1965
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
1966
work better with how it splits its requests.
1967
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
1969
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
1970
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
1971
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
1973
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
1976
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
1978
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
1979
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
1981
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
1987
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
1988
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
1989
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
1995
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
1996
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
1997
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
1998
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2000
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
2001
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
2003
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
2004
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
2005
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
2006
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
2008
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
2009
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
2010
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
2011
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
2016
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
2017
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
2018
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
2020
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
2021
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
2022
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
2023
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
2025
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
2026
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
2027
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
2033
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
2034
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
2035
(John Arbash Meinel)
2037
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
2038
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
2039
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
2040
(John Arbash Meinel)
2042
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
2043
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
2044
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
2045
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
2047
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
2048
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
2049
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
2051
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
2052
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
2053
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
2054
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
2056
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
2057
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
2058
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
2059
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
2060
(John Arbash Meinel)
2062
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
2063
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
2065
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
2066
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
2067
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
2069
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
2070
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
2071
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
2072
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
2074
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
2075
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
2076
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
2077
(John Arbash Meinel)
2079
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
2080
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
2081
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
2082
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
2083
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
2084
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
2085
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
2087
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
2088
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)
2095
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
2096
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
2097
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
2098
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
2101
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
2106
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
2107
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
2108
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
2109
(Martin Pool, #303856)
2111
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
2112
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
2113
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
2114
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
2115
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)

######################
2121
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
2122
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
2123
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
2124
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
2125
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
2130
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
2131
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2133
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
2139
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
2140
history just to set the last revision info.
2141
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2143
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
2144
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
2145
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
2146
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2148
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
2149
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
2150
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
2151
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
2152
(John Arbash Meinel)
2154
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
2155
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2157
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
2158
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
2159
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
2160
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
2161
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
2163
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
2164
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
2165
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
2166
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
2171
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
2172
(Martin Pool, #289148)
2174
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
2175
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
2177
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
2178
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
2179
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
2180
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
2182
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
2183
starting with a dotted revno.
2184
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
2186
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
2187
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
2188
(Martin Pool, #288751)
2190
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
2191
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
2192
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
2194
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
2195
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
2196
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
2198
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
2199
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
2200
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
2201
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
2203
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
2204
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
2205
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
2207
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
2208
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
2213
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
2214
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
2215
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
2216
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
2218
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
2219
have changed incompatibly.
2221
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
2222
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
2223
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
2224
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
2225
don't need to change.
2227
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
2228
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
2233
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
2234
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
2236
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
2242
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
2243
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
2244
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
2245
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
2246
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
2247
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
2252
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
2253
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
2255
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
2257
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
2258
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.

#####################
2268
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
2269
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
2271
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
2272
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
2273
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
2274
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
2279
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
2280
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
2281
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
2282
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
2283
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
2284
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
2286
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
2287
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
2289
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
2290
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
2291
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
2293
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
2294
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
2295
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
2298
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
2299
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
2301
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
2302
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
2304
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
2305
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
2307
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
2308
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
2309
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
2310
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
2311
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
2312
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
2313
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
2314
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
2315
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
2316
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
2321
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
2322
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
2324
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
2325
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
2327
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
2328
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
2329
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
2331
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
2332
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
2333
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
2335
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
2336
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
2337
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
2339
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
2340
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
2341
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
2342
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
2343
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
2344
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
2346
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
2347
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
2349
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
2350
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
2352
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
2353
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
2354
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
2355
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
2356
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
2358
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
2359
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
2360
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
2361
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
2366
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
2371
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
2376
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
2377
configuration of authetication credentials.
2383
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
2384
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
2385
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
2386
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
2387
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
2392
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
2393
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
2398
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
2399
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)

#####################
2408
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
2409
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
2410
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
2411
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
2412
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
2414
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
2415
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
2417
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
2418
server. (Marius Kruger)
2420
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
2421
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
2422
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
2423
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
2424
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
2425
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
2430
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
2431
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
2432
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
2434
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
2439
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
2440
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
2441
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
2442
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
2444
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
2445
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
2448
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
2449
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
2452
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
2455
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
2457
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
2458
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
2460
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
2461
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
2463
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
2464
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
2465
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
2466
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
2467
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
2468
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
2469
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
2470
operations. (Robert Collins)
2472
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
2474
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
2475
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
2476
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
2481
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
2482
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
2483
(Martin Pool, #279381)
2485
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
2486
repository now preserves the repository format.
2487
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
2489
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
2490
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
2492
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
2493
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
2495
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
2497
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
2499
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
2502
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
2503
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
2504
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
2506
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
2507
is in a different repository than the current one.
2508
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
2510
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
2511
(David Futcher, #242106)
2513
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
2514
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2516
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
2517
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
2518
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
2519
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
2521
* Trivial documentation fix.
2522
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
2524
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
2525
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
2526
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
2527
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
2532
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
2537
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
2538
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
2539
to use. (Robert Collins)
2541
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
2542
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
2543
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
2545
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
2546
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
2547
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
2548
they want. (Robert Collins)
2553
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
2554
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
2555
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
2557
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
2558
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
2561
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
2564
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
2565
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
2567
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
2573
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
2574
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
2576
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
2577
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
2578
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
2580
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
2581
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
2582
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
2584
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
2585
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2587
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
2588
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
2590
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
2591
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
2593
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
2594
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
2595
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
2596
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept

2610
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
2611
file paths when we encounter complex history.
2616
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
2617
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
2618
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
2619
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.
2620
(John Arbash Meinel)
2626
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
2627
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
2628
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
2629
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
2630
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
2631
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.

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

2647

#####################
2669
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
2670
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
2671
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
2672
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
2673
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
2674
it in a future repository format.
2680
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
2683
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
2684
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
2685
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
2687
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
2688
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
2689
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
2694
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
2695
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
2697
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
2702
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
2703
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
2706
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
2707
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
2709
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
2710
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
2713
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
2714
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
2715
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
2716
(John Arbash Meinel)
2718
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
2719
(Martin Pool, #261315)
2721
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
2722
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
2723
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
2724
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
2725
(John Arbash Meinel)
2727
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
2728
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
2729
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
2730
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
2731
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
2732
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
2733
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
2734
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
2735
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
2736
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
2741
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
2742
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
2744
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
2745
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
2746
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
2748
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
2749
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
2750
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
2752
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
2753
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
2754
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
2755
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
2756
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
2757
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
2759
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
2760
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
2762
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
2763
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
2765
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
2766
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
2767
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
2768
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
2769
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
2770
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
2772
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
2773
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
2775
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
2776
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
2778
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
2779
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
2780
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
2781
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
2783
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
2784
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
2786
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
2787
assuming the host name is ascii.
2788
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
2790
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
2791
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
2796
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
2801
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
2803
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
2804
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
2805
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
2808
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
2809
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2811
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
2812
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
2814
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
2815
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
2820
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
2821
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
2822
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
2823
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
2825
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
2829
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
2830
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
2831
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2833
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
2839
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
2840
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
2843
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
2844
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
2845
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
2846
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
2847
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2849
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
2850
is unknown in both source and target.
2851
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
2853
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
2854
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
2855
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
2856
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2858
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
2859
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
2860
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
2861
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
2879
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
2880
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.

#######################
2887
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
2888
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
2889
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
2890
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
2891
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
2892
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
2893
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
2894
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
2895
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
2896
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
2897
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
2898
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
2903
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
2904
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
2905
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
2906
start of the string (causing more copies).
2907
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
2908
especially for projects with large files.
2909
(John Arbash Meinel)
2911
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
2912
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
2913
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
2914
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
2915
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
2917
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
2918
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
2919
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
2920
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
2921
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.
2922
(John Arbash Meinel, #262333)
2928
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
2929
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
2930
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
2931
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
2932
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
2933
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
2934
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
2935
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
2936
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.

#####################
2945
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
2946
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
2947
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
2948
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)

#####################
2958
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
2959
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
2960
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
2963
bzr 1.6rc3 2008-08-14
2964
#####################
2969
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
2970
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
2976
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
2977
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
2978
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
2984
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
2985
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
2986
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
2988
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
2989
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
2990
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
2991
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
2992
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
2993
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
2994
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)

This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
3006
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
3007
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
3009
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
3010
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
3013
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
3014
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
3015
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
3016
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
3017
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
3019
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
3020
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3022
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
3023
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
3025
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
3026
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
3028
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
3029
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
3030
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
3031
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
3032
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
3033
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)

3037
#####################
3039
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
3040
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
3041
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
3042
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
3043
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
3048
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
3049
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
3050
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
3055
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
3056
check. (Daniel Watkins)
3058
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
3059
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
3061
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
3062
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
3063
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3065
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
3068
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
3069
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
3070
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
3071
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
3072
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
3073
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
3074
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
3076
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
3077
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
3078
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
3083
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
3084
physical repository boundaries.
3085
(Martin Pool, #252428)
3087
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
3088
(Martin Pool, #206258)
3090
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
3091
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
3094
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
3097
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
3098
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
3099
that Python is running from.
3100
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
3102
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
3103
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
3104
(Robert Collins, #150438)
3106
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
3107
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
3109
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
3110
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
3111
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
3113
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
3114
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
3116
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
3117
(James Westby, #248448)
3122
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
3123
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
3124
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
3127
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
3128
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
3131
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
3132
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
3133
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
3134
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
3135
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
3136
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
3139
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
3140
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
3142
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
3143
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
3144
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
3145
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
3146
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
3147
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
3152
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
3153
putting together a real history without having to create a full
3154
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
3155
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
3156
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
3157
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3159
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
3160
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
3161
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
3163
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
3166
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
3167
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
3169
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.

#######################
3176
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
3177
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
3178
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
3179
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
3185
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
3186
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
3187
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
3189
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
3190
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
3191
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
3192
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
3193
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
3196
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
3198
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
3199
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
3200
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
3206
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
3207
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
3210
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
3211
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
3212
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
3213
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
3215
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
3216
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
3217
(Christophe Troestler)
3219
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
3220
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
3222
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
3223
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
3224
faster. The new request method name is
3225
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3230
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
3231
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
3232
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
3233
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
3234
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
3236
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
3237
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
3239
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
3240
requires a branch to be present.
3241
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
3243
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
3245
(Martin Pool, #205230)
3247
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
3248
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
3249
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
3250
(Martin Pool, #240161)
3252
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
3253
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
3255
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
3257
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
3259
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
3260
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
3261
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
3262
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
3263
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
3265
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
3266
(Martin Pool, #172870)
3268
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
3269
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
3271
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
3273
(Matt McClure, #209281)
3275
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
3276
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
3278
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
3279
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
3284
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
3287
* Updated developer documentation.
3293
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
3294
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
3296
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
3297
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
3298
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
3299
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
3304
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
3305
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
3306
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
3307
Repository docstring for more details.
3310
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
3311
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
3312
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
3314
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
3315
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
3318
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
3319
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
3320
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
3321
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
3326
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
3327
(Alexander Belchenko)
3329
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
3330
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
3331
containing a given location.
3334
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
3335
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
3336
storage. (Robert Collins)
3338
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
3341
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
3342
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.

#######################
3349
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
3350
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
3351
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
3357
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
3358
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
3359
reading from the repository.)
3360
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
3362
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
3363
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
3365
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
3366
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
3369
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
3370
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
3371
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
3373
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
3374
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
3375
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
3377
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
3378
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
3380
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
3381
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
3382
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
3383
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
3388
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
3390
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
3391
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
3392
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
3395
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
3396
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
3401
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
3406
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
3407
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
3412
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
3413
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
3414
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
3415
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
3416
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
3418
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
3419
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
3424
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
3425
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
3427
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
3428
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)

#######################
3434
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
3435
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
3436
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
3437
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
3438
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
3439
and future extensions.
3442
Notes When Upgrading
3443
********************
3445
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
3446
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
3447
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
3448
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
3449
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
3450
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
3451
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
3452
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
3457
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
3458
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
3459
(John Arbash Meinel)
3464
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
3465
load. (James Westby)
3470
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
3471
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
3472
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
3473
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
3475
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
3476
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
3477
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
3479
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
3480
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
3482
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
3483
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
3484
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
3486
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
3487
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
3488
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
3489
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
3490
step closer to not using full revision history.
3491
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
3496
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
3497
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
3499
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
3500
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
3502
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
3503
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
3505
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
3506
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
3507
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
3508
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
3510
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
3511
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
3512
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
3513
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
3515
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
3516
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
3517
in use by another process.
3520
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
3521
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
3522
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
3523
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
3525
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
3526
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
3528
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
3529
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
3530
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
3532
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
3533
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
3534
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
3536
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
3538
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
3540
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
3541
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
3543
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
3544
under vim on Mac OS X.
3545
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
3547
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
3548
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
3553
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
3554
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
3556
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
3557
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
3560
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
3561
and about use of Python reprs.
3562
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
3564
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
3569
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
3572
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
3573
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
3575
* New helper function for splitting test suites
3576
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
3581
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
3582
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
3583
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
3584
(John Arbash Meinel)
3589
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
3590
instead. (Martin Pool)
3592
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
3593
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
3594
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
3595
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
3597
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
3598
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
3599
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
3600
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
3601
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
3603
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
3604
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
3605
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
3606
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
3607
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
3608
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
3610
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
3611
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
3614
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
3615
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
3618
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
3619
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
3620
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
3621
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
3623
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
3624
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
3625
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
3627
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
3628
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
3629
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
3630
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
3631
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
3634
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
3635
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
3636
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
3637
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
3640
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
3641
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
3642
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
3643
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
3644
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
3646
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
3653
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
3654
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
3655
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
3660
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
3661
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
3662
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
3667
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
3668
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.

#####################
3678
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
3679
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
3680
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
3681
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
3686
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
3687
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
3689
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
3690
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
3692
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
3698
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
3699
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
3701
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
3702
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
3704
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
3705
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
3706
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
3708
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
3709
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
3710
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
3712
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
3715
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
3716
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
3718
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
3719
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
3721
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
3722
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
3724
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
3725
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
3727
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
3728
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
3729
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
3731
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
3732
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
3734
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
3735
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
3737
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
3738
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
3739
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
3740
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
3742
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
3743
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
3746
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
3747
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
3748
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
3750
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
3751
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
3752
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
3753
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
3754
every revision each side had in common.
3755
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3757
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
3758
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
3760
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
3761
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
3762
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
3763
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
3768
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
3769
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
3770
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
3771
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
3773
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
3775
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
3777
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
3778
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
3783
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
3784
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
3785
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
3787
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
3788
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
3789
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
3790
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
3792
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
3793
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3795
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
3796
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
3797
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
3798
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3800
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
3801
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
3802
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
3803
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
3808
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
3809
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
3810
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
3812
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
3814
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
3815
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
3817
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
3818
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3820
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
3821
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
3826
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
3827
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
3828
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
3830
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
3831
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
3832
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
3835
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
3836
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
3839
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.
3846
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
3847
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
3848
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
3849
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
3850
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
3851
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
3852
and faster performance.
3857
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
3858
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the

3893
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
3895
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
3896
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
3898
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
3899
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
3900
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
3902
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
3903
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
3904
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
3905
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
3906
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
3907
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
3910
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
3911
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
3912
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
3913
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
3918
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
3920
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
3921
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
3922
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
3924
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
3925
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
3926
See the User Reference for signature details.
3927
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
3929
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
3930
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
3935
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
3936
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
3937
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
3938
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3940
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
3941
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
3943
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
3944
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
3945
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
3948
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
3951
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
3952
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
3953
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
3955
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
3958
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
3959
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
3961
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
3962
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
3964
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
3965
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
3966
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
3968
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
3969
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
3970
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
3971
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
3972
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
3974
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
3975
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
3977
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
3978
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
3983
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
3984
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
3985
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
3986
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
3987
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
3988
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
3990
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
3991
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
3993
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
3994
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
3995

3997
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.

fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
4002
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
4003
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4005
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
4006
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
4007
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
4008
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
4009
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
4011
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
4013
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.

4019
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
4021
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.

4039
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
4040
ghosts. (Robert Collins)

now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be

supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
4045
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
4047
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
4048
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
4049
release. (James Westby)
4051
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
4054
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
4056
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
4057
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
4059
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
4060
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
4062
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
4063
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
4065
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
4066
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
4067
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
4069
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
4070
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
4071
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
4072
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
4074
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
4075
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
4076
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
4077
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
4079
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
4080
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
4081
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
4082
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
4083
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
4084
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
4086
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
4087
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
4088
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
4090
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
4091
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
4093
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
4094
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
4097
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
4098
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
4100
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
4101
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
4103
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
4104
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
4106
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
4107
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
4108
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
4110
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
4111
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
4112
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
4113
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
4114
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
4115
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
4120
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
4121
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
4122
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
4123
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
4125
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
4126
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
4127
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
4128
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
4132
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
4133
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
4136
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
4137
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
4139
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
4141
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
4142
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
4143
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
4148
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
4150
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
4153
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
4154
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
4155
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
4156
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
4157
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
4158
(Martin Pool, #109520)
4160
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
4161
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
4163
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
4164
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
4165
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
4166
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
4168
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
4169
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
4171
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
4172
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
4214
********************
4216
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
4217
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
4222
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
4223
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
4224
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
4225
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
4228
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
4229
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
4230
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
4231
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
4232
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
4233
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
4235
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
4236
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
4237
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
4238
(Alexander Belchenko)
4240
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
4242
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
4243
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
4248
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
4249
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
4251
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
4252
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
4258
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
4260
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
4262
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
4263
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
4264
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
4266
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
4267
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
4269
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
4270
to. (Daniel Watkins)
4272
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
4273
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
4274
(Alexander Belchenko)
4276
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
4277
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
4278
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
4279
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
4281
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
4284
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
4285
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
4286
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
4287
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
4288
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
4293
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
4294
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
4295
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
4296
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
4298
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
4299
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
4301
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
4302
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
4304
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
4305
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
4306
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
4308
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
4309
(#198793, John Ferlito)
4311
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
4314
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
4315
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
4317
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
4319
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
4321
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
4322
symlinks (James Henstridge)
4324
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
4325
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
4327
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
4328
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
4330
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
4331
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
4333
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
4334
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
4336
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
4337
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
4342
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
4343
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
4348
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
4349
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
4350
(Alexander Belchenko)
4355
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
4357
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
4358
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
4364
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
4365
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
4366
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
4368
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
4369
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
4370
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
4371
(Alexander Belchenko)
4373
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
4374
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
4375
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
4376
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
4378
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
4379
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
4380
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
4383
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
4384
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
4385
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
4387
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
4388
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
4389
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
4391
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
4392
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
4393
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
4394
format. (Robert Collins)
4403
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)

4409
Notes When Upgrading
4410
********************
4412
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
4413
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
4414
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
4415
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
4416
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
4422
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
4423
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
4425
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
4426
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
4427
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
4429
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
4430
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
4431
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
4432
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
4433
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
4434
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
4440
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
4441
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4443
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
4444
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
4445
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
4448
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
4449
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
4450
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
4451
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
4452
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
4454
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
4455
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
4456
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
4457
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
4458
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
4459
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
4460
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
4461
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
4466
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
4467
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
4469
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
4470
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
4472
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
4473
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
4475
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
4476
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
4477
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
4479
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
4480
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
4481
(John Arbash Meinel)
4486
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
4487
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
4489
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
4490
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
4492
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
4493
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
4495
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
4496
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
4497
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
4499
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
4500
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
4501
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
4503
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
4504
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
4506
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
4507
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
4508
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
4509
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
4510
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
4512
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
4514
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
4515
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
4518
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
4519
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
4521
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
4522
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
4524
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
4525
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
4527
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
4528
more characters which should be considered valid.
4529
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
4531
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
4532
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
4534
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
4535
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
4540
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
4541
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
4543
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
4544
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
4550
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
4551
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
4557
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
4558
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
4559
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
4561
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
4562
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
4563
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
4565
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
4566
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
4567
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
4568
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
4570
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
4572
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
4573
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
4574
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
4575
server. (Robert Collins)
4577
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
4578
operate. (Robert Collins)
4580
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
4581
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
4582
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
4584
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
4585
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
4586
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
4587
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
4589
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
4590
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
4592
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
4593
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
4594
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
4596
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
4597
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
4599
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
4600
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
4602
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
4603
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
4604
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
4605
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

#####################
4619
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
4620
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
4621
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
4622
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
4624
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
4625
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
4626
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
4627
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.

* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
4638
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
4639
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
4644
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
4647
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
4648

4649
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
4651
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
4653
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
4654
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
4655
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
4656
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
4657
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
4659
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
4660
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
4661
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
4663
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
4664
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
4666
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
4669
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
4671
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
4673
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
4676

4677
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)

(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
4688
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
4691
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
4692
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
4694
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
4695
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
4697
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
4698
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4700
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
4701
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
4703
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
4704
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
4705
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
4707
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
4708
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
4710
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
4711
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
4714
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
4716
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
4717
user:pass embedded in the urls.
4718
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
4720
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.

* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
4726
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
4729
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
4730
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
4732
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
4735
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
4736
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
4739
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
4740
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
4741
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
4746
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
4749
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
4750
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
4751
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
4752
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
4753
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
4754
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)

4767
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
4769
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
4770
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
4771
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
4774
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
4775
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4777
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
4786
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
4787
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
4788
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
4790
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
4791
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
4794
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
4795
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
4797
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
4798
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)

* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
4801
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
4803
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
4804
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
4805
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
4807
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
4808
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)

* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
4811
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
4813
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
4814
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
4817
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
4818
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
4820
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
4821
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
4830

4913
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
4914
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the

Notes When Upgrading
4963
********************
4965
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
4966
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
4967
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
4968
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
4970
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
4971
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
4973
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
4974
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
4976
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
4977
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
4978
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
4979
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
4980
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
4981
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
4982
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
4983
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
4984
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
4985
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
4986
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
4987
from any tree without problems.
4988
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
4993
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
4994
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
4995
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
4997
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
4998
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
5004
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
5005
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
5006
supported transports.
5009
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
5010
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
5011
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
5013
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
5014
(Robert Collins, #154173)
5016
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
5017
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
5018
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
5019
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
5021
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
5022
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
5027
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
5028
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
5029
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
5030
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5032
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
5033
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
5034
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
5035
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
5037
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
5038
(Robert Collins, #88319)
5040
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
5041
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
5043
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
5044
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
5046
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
5047
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
5053
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
5056
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
5057
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
5060
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
5061
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
5062
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
5063
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
5065
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
5066
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
5067
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
5068
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
5076
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
5077
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
5079
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
5080
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
5082
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
5083
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
5085
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
5086
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
5088
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
5089
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
5091
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.

5094
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
5095
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
5097
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
5100
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
5101
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
5103
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
5104
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
5105
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
5107
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
5108
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
5110
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
5111
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
5113
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
5114
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
5116
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
5117
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
5119
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
5120
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
5121
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
5122
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
5124
(Martin Pool, #164637)
5126
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
5127
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
5128
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
5130
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.

5137
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
5138
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)

* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
5141
specify a port in urls.

5147
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.

* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
5157
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
5158
(Robert Collins, #165304).
5160
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
5162
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
5163
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
5165
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
5168
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.

5174
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
5175
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).

(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
5178
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
5179
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
5181
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
5182
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
5183
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
5184
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
5186
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
5187
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
5189
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
5190
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
5191
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
5193
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
5194
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
5196
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
5197
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
5199
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
5200
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
5205
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
5206
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
5208
* The return value of
5209
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
5210
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
5211
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
5212
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
5214
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
5217
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
5218
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
5225
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
5226
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
5227
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
5230
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
5231
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
5233
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

######################
5251
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
5252
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
5254
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
5255
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
5256
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
5257
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
5258
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
5259
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
5260
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
5261
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
5262
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
5263
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
5264
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
5265
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
5271
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
5272
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
5273
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
5274
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
5275
commands. (Robert Collins)
5277
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
5278
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
5279
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
5282
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
5284
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
5285
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
5287
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
5288
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
5291
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
5292
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
5293
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
5298
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
5299
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
5301
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
5302
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
5304
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
5305
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
5306
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
5307
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
5309
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
5312
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
5313
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
5314
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
5315
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
5317
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
5318
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
5320
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
5321
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
5323
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
5324
the contents. (Robert Collins)
5326
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
5327
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
5332
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
5333
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
5335
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
5336
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
5338
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
5339
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
5341
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
5342
(Martin Pool, #63894)
5344
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
5345
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
5350
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
5352
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
5358
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
5359
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
5360
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
5362
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
5363
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
5365
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
5366
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
5368
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
5369
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
5370
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
5371
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
5373
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
5374
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
5375
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
5376
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
5377
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
5379
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
5380
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
5382
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
5384
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
5386
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
5387
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
5389
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
5390
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
5392
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
5393
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
5395
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
5396
contains a symbolic link.
5397
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
5399
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
5400
(James Westby, #140615)
5402
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
5403
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
5404
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
5406
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
5407
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
5408
(Martin Pool, #144633)
5410
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5412
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
5413
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
5415
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
5417
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
5419
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
5420
directory to detect leaking tests.
5421
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
5423
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
5424
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
5425
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
5427
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
5430
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
5431
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
5433
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
5439
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
5440
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
5442
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
5443
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
5444
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
5446
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
5447
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
5448
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
5450
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
5451
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
5453
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
5454
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
5456
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
5457
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
5460
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
5461
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
5463
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
5464
class that needs it.
5467
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
5468
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
5470
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
5471
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
5472
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
5474
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
5475
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
5476
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
5479
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
5480
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
5481
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
5482
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
5488
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
5489
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
5490
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
5492
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
5493
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
5494
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
5495
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
5497
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
5498
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
5501
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
5502
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
5503
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
5505
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
5506
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
5507
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
5509
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
5510
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
5512
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
5513
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
5514
to complete. (Robert Collins)
5516
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
5517
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
5519
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
5520
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
5521
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
5523
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
5524
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
5525
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
5527
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
5528
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
5529
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
5530
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
5532
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
5533
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
5534
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
5535
returned. (Robert Collins)
5537
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
5538
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
5540
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
5541
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
5542
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
5543
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
5546
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
5547
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
5552
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
5553
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
5555
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
5556
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
5557
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
5558
makes this behavior available to other users.
5561
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
5562
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
5571
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
5572
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
5573
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
5575
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
5577
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
5578
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
5579
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
5580
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
5582
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
5583
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
5587
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
5588
######################
5590
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
5591
in bzrlib/remote.py.
5594
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
5595
######################
5600
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
5601
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
5602
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
5603
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
5606
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
5607
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
5608
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
5614
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
5615
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
5616
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
5619
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
5620
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
5621
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
5623
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
5624
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
5625
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
5627
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
5628
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
5630
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
5631
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
5632
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
5633
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
5634
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
5635
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
5636
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
5637
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
5638
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
5639
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
5641
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
5642
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
5644
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
5645
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
5646
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
5651
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
5652
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
5654
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
5655
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
5656
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
5658
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
5659
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
5661
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
5662
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
5664
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
5667
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
5668
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
5670
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
5671
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
5673
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
5674
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5676
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
5677
(Blake Winton, #129299)
5679
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
5681
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
5684
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
5685
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
5686
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
5687
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
5689
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5691
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
5692
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
5695
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
5696
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
5698
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
5699
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
5702
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
5703
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
5705
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
5706
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
5708
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
5709
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
5710
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
5711
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
5712
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
5713
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
5714
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
5716
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
5717
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
5719
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
5720
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
5722
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
5723
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
5725
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
5726
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
5728
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
5730
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
5732
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
5733
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
5735
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
5736
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
5737
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
5739
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
5740
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
5741
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
5746
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
5747
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
5749
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
5752
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
5755
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
5756
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
5758
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
5760
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
5761
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
5763
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
5764
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
5766
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
5767
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
5768
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
5769
space). (Robert Collins)
5771
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
5772
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
5775
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
5776
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5778
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
5779
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
5781
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
5782
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
5783
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
5784
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
5786
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
5787
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
5788
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
5791
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
5794
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
5795
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
5796
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
5798
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
5799
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
5800
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
5801
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
5802
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
5807
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
5808
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
5810
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
5811
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
5812
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
5813
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
5814
affected. (Robert Collins)
5816
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
5817
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
5818
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
5821
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
5822
previous release. (Martin Pool)
5827
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
5828
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
5830
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
5831
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5833
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
5834
previous release. (Martin Pool)
5836
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
5839
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
5840
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5845
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
5846
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
5847
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
5848
its version information. (Robert Collins)
5850
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
5851
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
5853
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
5854
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
5855
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
5856
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
5858
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
5859
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
5860
present. (Robert Collins)
5862
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
5863
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
5864
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
5865
API. (Robert Collins)
5867
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
5868
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
5871
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
5872
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
5874
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
5875
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
5876
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
5877
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
5878
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
5879
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
5881
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
5882
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
5883
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
5885
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
5886
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
5887
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
5888
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
5891
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
5894
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
5895
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
5896
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
5897
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
5898
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
5899
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
5900
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
5902
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
5903
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
5904
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
5905
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
5907
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
5908
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
5909
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
5910
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
5911
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
5912
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
5914
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
5915
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
5916
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
5918
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
5919
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
5928
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
5929
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
5930
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
5931
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
5932
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
5933
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
5934
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
5935
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
5941
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
5942
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
5943
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)

5965
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
5966
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.

* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
5970
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,

It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)

5991
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
5997
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
5998
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
6000
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
6001
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
6003
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
6004
the repository (Robert Collins)
6006
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
6007
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
6008
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
6009
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
6010
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
6012
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
6013
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
6015
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
6016
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
6017
(John Arbash Meinel)
6019
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
6020
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
6021
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
6023
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
6024
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
6025
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
6026
(John Arbash Meinel)
6028
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
6029
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
6032
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
6033
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
6035
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
6038
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
6040
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
6042
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
6043
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
6045
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
6046
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
6049
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
6050
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
6051
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
6052
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
6054
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
6055
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
6056
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
6058
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
6059
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
6060
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
6062
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
6063
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
6065
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
6066
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
6067
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
6068
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
6069
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
6070
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
6073
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
6074
(Alexander Belchenko)
6076
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
6077
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)

* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
6080
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)

* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
6084
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
6085
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
6090
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
6091
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
6092
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
6093
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
6095
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
6097
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
6100
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
6101
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
6102
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
6103
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
6104
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
6105
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
6110
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
6111
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
6112
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
6113
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
6115
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
6116
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
6117
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
6118
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
6119
tests have been refactored too.
6122
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
6123
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
6124
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
6128
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
6129
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
6130
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
6132
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
6133
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
6134
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
6135
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
6136
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
6137
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
6138
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
6140
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
6141
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
6142
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
6143
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
6144
(John Arbash Meinel)
6146
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
6147
functionality for testing.
6149
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
6151
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
6152
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
6154
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
6156
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
6159
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
6160
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
6162
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
6163
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
6164
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
6166
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
6169
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
6170
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
6172
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
6173
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
6174
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
6175
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
6177
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
6178
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
6180
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
6181
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
6182
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
6184
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
6187
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
6188
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
6189
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
6190
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
6191
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
6192
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
6194
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
6195
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
6196
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
6197
many files. (Robert Collins)
6199
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
6200
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
6201
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
6202
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
6207
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
6208
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
6209
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
6211
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
6212
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
6214
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
6215
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
6216
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree

* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
6306
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
6307
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
6308
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
6309
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
6311
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
6312
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.

may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
6392
same location. (Robert Collins)
6397
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
6399
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
6401
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
6403
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
6406
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
6409
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
6410
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
6411
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
6413
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
6415
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
6416
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
6417
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
6419
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
6420
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
6422
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
6423
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
6424
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
6426
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
6427
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
6428
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
6430
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
6431
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
6432
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
6434
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
6435
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
6438
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
6439
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
6441
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
6442
(Alexander Belchenko)
6447
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
6448
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
6449
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
6450
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
6452
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
6453
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
6454
testing. (Robert Collins)
6456
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
6457
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
6459
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
6460
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
6461
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
6462
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
6463
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
6464
attribute during the test parameterisation in
6465
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
6467
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
6468
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
6469
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
6470
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
6472
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
6473
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
6475
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
6476
avoid useless cloning.

Notes When Upgrading
6497
********************
6499
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
6500
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
6501
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
6502
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
6503
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
6504
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
6505
and unlock() like so::
6507
work_tree.lock_read()
6509
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
6515
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
6516
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
6518
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
6519
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
6520
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
6522
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
6523
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
6524
too. (Robert Collins)
6529
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
6530
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
6533
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
6534
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
6536
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
6537
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
6539
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
6540
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
6541
understanding what changes have occurred
6542
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
6544
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
6545
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
6546
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
6548
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
6549
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
6550
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
6551
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
6553
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
6559
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
6560
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
6561
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
6562
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
6563
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
6565
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
6566
based on split paths, not just string paths.
6567
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
6569
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
6570
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
6572
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
6574
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
6576
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
6577
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
6579
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
6580
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
6582
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
6583
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
6585
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
6586
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
6588
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
6589
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
6591
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
6592
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
6593
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
6596
####################
6601
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
6602
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
6603
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
6604
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
6605
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
6607
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
6608
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
6609
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
6611
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
6612
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
6617
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
6618
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
6619
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
6621
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
6622
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
6623
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
6624
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
6626
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
6627
#######################
6632
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
6633
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
6634
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
6635
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
6637
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
6638
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
6639
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
6641
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
6642
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
6644
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
6645
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
6647
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
6648
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

Notes When Upgrading
6654
********************
6656
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
6657
it could be recovered again.
6658
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
6659
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
6660
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
6662
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
6664
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
6665
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
6670
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
6671
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
6673
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
6674
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
6675
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
6676
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
6678
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
6679
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
6681
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
6682
tests with names that match that regular expression.
6683
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
6685
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
6686
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
6687
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
6689
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
6690
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
6691
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
6693
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
6694
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
6697
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
6700
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
6701
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
6702
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
6703
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
6705
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
6708
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
6709
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
6710
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
6713
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
6714
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
6716
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
6717
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
6719
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
6720
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
6721
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
6722
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
6725
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
6726
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
6728
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
6729
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
6731
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
6732
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
6733
(Robert Collins, #107125).
6735
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
6736
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
6737
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
6739
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
6740
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
6741
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
6743
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
6744
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
6745
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
6746
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
6748
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
6749
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
6750
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
6751
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
6753
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
6754
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
6755
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
6756
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
6757
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
6758
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
6759
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
6760
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
6767
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
6768
code paths. (Robert Collins)
6770
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
6771
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
6772
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
6773
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
6774
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
6776
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
6777
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
6779
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
6780
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
6782
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
6783
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
6785
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
6786
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
6788
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
6789
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
6790
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
6793
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
6794
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
6795
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
6796
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
6797
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
6800
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
6801
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
6802
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
6804
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
6805
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
6808
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
6809
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
6810
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
6813
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
6814
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
6815
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
6816
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
6817
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
6819
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
6820
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
6821
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
6822
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
6824
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
6825
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
6827
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
6828
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
6829
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
6830
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
6831
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
6832
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
6834
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
6835
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
6837
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
6838
help. (Robert Collins)
6840
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
6841
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
6843
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
6844
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
6845
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
6846
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
6847
(John Arbash Meinel)
6849
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
6850
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
6851
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
6852
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
6853
useful. (Robert Collins)
6855
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
6861
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
6862
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
6864
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
6865
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
6867
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
6868
properly and is no longer beneficial.
6869
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
6871
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
6874
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
6875
the file, and does it faster.
6876
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
6878
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
6879
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
6880
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
6882
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
6883
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
6884
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
6885
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
6887
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
6888
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
6889
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
6890
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
6892
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
6893
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
6895
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
6896
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
6897
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
6898
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
6901
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
6903
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
6904
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
6906
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
6907
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
6909
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
6910
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
6911
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
6912
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
6916
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
6917
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
6922
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
6923
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
6924
in running it. (Robert Collins)
6926
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
6927
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
6929
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
6930
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
6931
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
6932
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
6933
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
6934
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
6935
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
6936
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
6938
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
6939
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
6940
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
6942
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
6943
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
6944
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
6945
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
6946
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
6948
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
6950
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
6951
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
6952
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
6954
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
6955
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
6964
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
6967
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
6968
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.

#######################
6977
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
6978
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
6984
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
6985
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
6986
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
6987
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
6988
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
6989
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
6990
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
6991
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
6997
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
6998
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
6999
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
7001
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
7002
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
7005
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
7006
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
7007
(John Arbash Meinel)
7009
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
7010
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
7011
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
7012
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
7013
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
7018
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
7021
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
7022
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
7024
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
7025
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
7027
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
7028
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
7029
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
7031
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
7032
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
7034
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
7035
last-changed-revision for directories. The
7036
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
7037
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
7038
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
7040
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
7041
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
7042
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
7044

Notes When Upgrading
7051
********************
7053
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
7054
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
7055
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
7060
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
7061
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
7063
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
7064
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
7066
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
7068
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
7069
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
7071
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
7072
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
7077
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
7083
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
7084
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
7085
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
7086
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
7088
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
7089
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
7091
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
7092
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
7094
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
7097
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

7101
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
7102
#######################
7107
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
7108
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
7109
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
7110
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
7111
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
7112
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
7114
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
7115
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
7116
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
7117
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
7118
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
7119
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
7121
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
7123
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
7124
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
7125
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
7126
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
7127
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
7128
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
7129
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
7130
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
7135
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
7136
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
7138
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
7139
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
7140
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
7141
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
7143
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
7144
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
7145
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
7146
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
7147
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
7149
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
7152
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
7155
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
7158
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
7159
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
7162
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
7165
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
7166
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
7168
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
7169
directory. (Martin Pool)
7171
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
7172
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
7173
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
7174
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
7176
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
7177
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
7178
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
7179
in docs/configuration.txt.
7181
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
7182
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
7185
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
7186
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
7187
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
7188
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
7189
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
7190
repositories. (Martin Pool)
7192
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
7193
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
7195
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
7196
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
7198
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
7204
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
7205
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
7206
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
7207
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
7208
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
7209
(John Arbash Meinel)
7211
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
7212
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
7215
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
7216
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
7217
(John Arbash Meinel)
7219
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
7220
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
7221
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
7222
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
7223
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
7224
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
7226
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
7227
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
7228
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
7230
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
7231
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
7232
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
7233
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
7235
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
7237
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
7238
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
7239
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
7240
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
7242
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
7243
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
7244
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
7245
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
7247
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
7248
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
7249
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
7251
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
7252
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
7253
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
7255
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
7256
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
7257
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
7258
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
7260
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
7261
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
7262
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
7264
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
7265
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
7266
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
7268
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
7269
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
7270
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
7271
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
7272
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
7273
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
7274
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
7275
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
7276
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
7277
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
7278
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
7283
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
7284
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
7285
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
7287
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
7290
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
7291
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
7292
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
7293
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
7295
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
7296
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
7299
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
7300
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
7302
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
7304
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
7305
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
7306
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
7308
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
7309
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
7311
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
7312
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
7314
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
7315
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)

7329
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

####################
7338
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)

7344
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
7345
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
7347
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's

working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
7349
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
7352
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16

#######################
7358
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
7359
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
7360
server, then you can write over the http connection.
7361
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
7363
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
7366
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
7367
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
7368
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
7370
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
7371
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
7373
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
7376
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
7377
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
7378
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
7379
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
7380
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
7381
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
7383
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
7384
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
7385
should enable you to do::
7387
[/home/user/project]
7388
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
7389
push_location:policy = appendpath
7391
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
7392
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
7395
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
7396
for each file. For example::
7398
$ bzr status --short
7404
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
7405
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
7407
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
7409
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
7410
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
7412
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
7417
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
7418
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
7419
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
7420
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
7422
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
7423
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
7424
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
7426
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
7428
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
7429
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
7430
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
7431
(Alexander Belchenko)
7433
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
7436
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
7437
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
7439
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
7444
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
7445
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
7447
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
7448
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
7449
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
7450
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
7451
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
7453
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
7454
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
7456
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
7457
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
7459
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
7461
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
7463
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
7464
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
7465
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
7466
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
7467
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
7469
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
7470
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
7471
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
7472
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
7474
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
7475
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
7477
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
7478
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)

* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
7481

deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
7522
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
7523
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
7524
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
7525
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
7530
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
7531
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
7534
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
7535
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
7536
(John Arbash Meinel)
7538
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
7539
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
7540
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
7541
(John Arbash Meinel)
7543
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
7544
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
7546
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
7547
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
7549
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
7550
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
7556
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
7557
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
7558
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
7560
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
7561
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
7562
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
7563
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
7565
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
7567
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
7568
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
7570
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
7571
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
7572
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
7573
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
7575
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
7576
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
7577
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
7579
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
7580
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
7581
them as full references rather than integers.
7582
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
7584
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
7585
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
7587
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
7589
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
7590
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
7592
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
7593
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
7595
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
7596
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
7597
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
7598
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
7600
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
7601
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
7602
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
7604
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
7605
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
7607
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
7608
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
7609
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
7610
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
7611
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
7616
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
7617
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

7635
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
7636
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
7637
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
7638
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
7640
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
7641
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
7643
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
7645
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
7646
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
7647
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
7648
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
7650
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
7651
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
7652
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
7653
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
7654
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
7659
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
7660
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
7665
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
7666
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
7667
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
7669
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
7670
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
7671
(John Arbash Meinel)
7673
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
7674
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
7675
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
7677
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
7678
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
7681
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
7682
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
7683
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
7685
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
7686
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
7687
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
7688
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
7689
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
7690
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
7692
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
7693
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
7694
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
7697
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
7698
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
7703
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
7704
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
7705
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
7708
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
7709
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
7711
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
7712
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
7713
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
7715
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
7716
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
7718
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
7719
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
7720
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
7721
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
7723
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
7724
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
7726
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
7727
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
7728
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
7730
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
7731
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
7733
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
7735
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
7736
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
7742
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
7743
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
7744
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
7745
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
7747

* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
7774
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
7775
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
7776
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
7777
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
7778
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
7779
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)

* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
7782
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
7783
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
7785
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
7787
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
7788
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
7790
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
7791
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
7792
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
7795
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
7796
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
7797
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.

7800
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
7801
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
7802
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
7803
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
7806
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
7807
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
7808
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
7809
(John Arbash Meinel)
7814
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
7815
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
7817
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
7819
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
7820
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when

7838
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
7840
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
7841

7843
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
7844
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
7846
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
7847
(John Arbash Meinel)
7849
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
7850
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
7851
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
7853
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
7854
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
7856
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
7857
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
7858
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
7859
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
7861
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
7862
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
7863
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
7865
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
7866
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
7871
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)

* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
7877
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
7878
(John Arbash Meinel)
7880
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
7881
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
7882
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
7883
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
7885
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
7888
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
7889
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
7890
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
7892
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
7893
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
7895
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
7896
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
7897
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
7899
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
7900
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
7901
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
7902
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
7903
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
7904
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
7905
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
7906
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
7907
caller to repeat their request.
7908
(John Arbash Meinel)
7910
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
7911
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
7913
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
7914
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
7916
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
7917
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
7918
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
7919
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
7920
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
7921
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
7922
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
7924
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
7925
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
7926
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
7927
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
7928
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
7929
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
7930
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
7931
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
7934
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
7935
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
7936
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
7938
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
7939
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
7941
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
7942
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
7944
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
7945
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
7950
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
7951
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
7953
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
7954
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
7955
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
7957
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to

* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
7970
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
7971
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that

``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
8050
a more conservative list than the old default.
8051
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
8052
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
8053
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
8054
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
8056
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
8057
to more locations than just branch locations.
8063
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
8064
revno:N:branch. For example,
8065
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
8066
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
8068
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
8069
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
8070
the path of a file that has been versioned.
8071
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
8072
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
8073
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
8074
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
8075
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
8078
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
8079
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
8080
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
8083
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
8084
(Alexander Belchenko)
8086
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
8088
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
8091
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
8092
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
8093
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
8094
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
8095
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
8096
(John Arbash Meinel)
8098
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
8099
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
8100
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
8101
grained analysis of performance.
8102
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
8104
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
8105
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
8107
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
8108
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
8109
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
8110
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
8111
file. (Robert Collins).
8113
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
8114
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
8115
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
8117
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
8118
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
8121
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
8122
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
8124
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
8125
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
8126
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
8127
the same way you would apply another branch.
8128
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
8130
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
8131
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
8133
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
8136
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
8139
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
8140
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
8141
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
8143
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
8144
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
8145
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
8147
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
8148
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
8150
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
8151
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
8152
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
8153
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
8154
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
8156
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
8157
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
8159
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
8160
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
8161
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
8162
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
8163
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
8164
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
8165
branch is as much as 4x faster.
8166
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
8168
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
8169
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
8170
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
8175
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
8177
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
8179
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
8180
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
8182
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
8183
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
8185
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
8186
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
8188
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
8190
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
8191
(John Arbash Meinel)
8193
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
8194
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
8196
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
8197
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
8200
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
8201
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
8203
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
8204
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
8206
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
8207
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
8208
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
8209
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
8211
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
8212
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
8214
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
8216
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
8217
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
8219
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
8221
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
8223
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
8224
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
8226
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
8227
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
8229
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
8230
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
8231
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
8233
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
8234
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
8235
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
8237
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
8238
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
8240
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
8241
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
8243
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
8244
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
8246
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
8247
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
8249
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
8250
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
8252
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
8253
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
8254
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
8256
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
8258
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
8259
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
8264
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
8265
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
8266
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
8268
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
8269
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
8271
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
8272
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
8273
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
8275
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
8276
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
8278
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
8279
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
8282
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
8283
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
8284
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
8286
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
8287
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
8288
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
8290
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
8291
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
8292
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
8294
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
8295
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
8296
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
8298
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
8299
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
8300
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
8302
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
8303
instead. (Robert Collins)
8305
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

8360
provides a human description of the changes between two old and

* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
8367
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
8372
Notes When Upgrading
8373
********************
8375
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
8376
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
8377
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
8378
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
8379
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
8380
will keep the same format.
8382
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
8383
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
8384
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
8385
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
8386
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
8388
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
8389
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
8390
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
8391
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
8392
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
8393
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
8394
indicating the current revision of the branch.
8396
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
8397
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
8398
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
8399
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
8400
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
8402
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
8403
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
8404
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
8411
* sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
8412
convention. Paths now take the form::
8414
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
8416
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
8418
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
8419
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
8421
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
8422
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
8423
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
8425
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
8426
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
8427
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
8428
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
8430
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
8431
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
8432
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
8434
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
8436
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
8438
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
8439
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
8442
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
8443
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
8446
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
8448
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
8449
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
8450
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
8453
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
8455
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
8457
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
8460
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
8461
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
8463
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
8464
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
8467
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
8468
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
8471
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
8473
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
8475
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
8476
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
8478
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
8479
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
8480
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
8481
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
8482
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
8483
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
8485
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
8487
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
8488
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
8491
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
8492
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
8494
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
8495
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
8497
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
8499
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
8500
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
8501
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
8502
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
8503
specification by Martin Pool.
8504
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
8506
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
8509
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
8510
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
8512
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
8513
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
8514
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
8516
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
8518
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
8519
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
8525
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
8526
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
8528
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
8530
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
8532
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
8535
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
8536
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
8537
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
8538
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
8543
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
8544
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
8545
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
8546
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
8548
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
8549
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
8550
tried. (Martin Pool)
8552
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
8555
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
8557
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
8558
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
8559
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
8561
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
8562
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
8564
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
8565
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
8566
paths. (Robert Collins)
8568
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
8569
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
8570
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
8572
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
8573
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
8574
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
8576
* Progress bars are now nested - see
8577
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
8578
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
8580
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
8583
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
8586
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
8588
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
8590
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
8591
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
8592
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
8595
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
8596
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
8598
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
8599
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
8600
check. (Robert Collins)
8602
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
8603
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
8608
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
8609
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
8611
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
8612
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
8613
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
8614
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
8616
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
8617
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
8618
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
8619
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
8620
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
8622
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
8623
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
8624
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
8626
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
8628
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
8629
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
8637
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
8638
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
8640
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
8641
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
8642
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
8645
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
8646
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
8648
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
8649
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
8650
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
8651
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
8652
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
8654
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
8655
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
8656
used. (Robert Collins)
8658
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
8659
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
8662
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
8663
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
8664
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
8666
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
8669
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
8670
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
8675
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
8676
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
8678
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
8680
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
8682
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
8683
tree. (Robert Collins)
8685
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
8686
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
8687
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
8690
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
8693
* Tweaks to short log printing
8695
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
8698
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
8699
occurs. (Martin Pool)
8701
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
8702
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
8704
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
8705
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
8707
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
8708
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
8709
settings. (Magnus Therning)
8711
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
8712
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
8714
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
8715
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
8718
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
8719
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
8721
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
8722
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
8724
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
8725
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
8727
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
8730
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
8731
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
8733
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
8734
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
8736
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
8737
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
8738
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
8743
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
8745
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
8747
* Error when run with -OO
8749
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
8752
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
8754
* Change status to 3 for all errors
8756
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
8757
ignored by diff and status
8759
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
8760
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
8762
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
8764
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
8766
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
8767
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
8769
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
8770
email address. (Marien Zwart)
8772
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
8775
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
8776
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
8778
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
8780
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
8781
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
8783
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
8786
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
8787
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
8789
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
8794
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
8795
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
8797
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
8799
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
8801
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
8803
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
8804
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
8805
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
8807
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
8809
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
8810
(John Arbash Meinel)
8812
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
8814
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
8815
If adding a new test script please add that to
8816
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
8818
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
8819
imported. (Martin Pool)
8821
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
8822
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
8823
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
8824
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
8825
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
8828
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
8829
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
8830
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
8832
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
8833
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
8834
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
8836
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
8837
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
8838
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
8839
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
8840
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
8843
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
8844
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
8850
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
8851
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
8853
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
8854
function. (Robert Collins)
8856
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
8857
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
8858
if needed). (Robert Collins)
8860
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
8861
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
8864
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
8865
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
8866
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
8867
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
8868
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
8869
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
8870
version. (Robert Collins)
8872
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
8873
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
8875
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
8876
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
8877
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
8878
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
8879
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
8880
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
8882
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
8885
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
8895
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
8897
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
8899
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
8902
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
8903
query method. (Robert Collins)
8905
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
8908
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
8911
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
8914
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
8915
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
8916
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
8917
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
8919
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
8920
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
8921
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
8922
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
8924
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
8925
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
8933
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
8936
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
8940
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
8941
a separator, not ':'.
8944
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
8945
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
8946
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
8948
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
8949
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
8952
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
8953
has been added that suppresses all output.
8955
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
8958
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
8959
Goffredo Baroncelli.
8961
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
8962
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
8964
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
8965
a revision. (Robert Collins)
8967
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
8968
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
8969
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
8970
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
8972
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
8974
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
8975
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
8977
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
8978
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
8980
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
8981
output directory, if one was supplied.
8983
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
8984
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
8985
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
8986
parameters. (Robert Collins)
8988
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
8990
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
8991
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
8993
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
8994
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
8995
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
8997
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
8998
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
9000
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
9003
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
9005
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
9010
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
9011
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
9012
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
9014
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
9015
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
9016
related questions. (Robert Collins)
9018
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
9019
is given. (Martin Pool)
9021
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
9022
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
9023
file. (Robert Collins)
9025
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
9031
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
9032
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
9033
representation. (Martin Pool).
9035
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
9036
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
9037
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
9039
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
9042
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
9043
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
9046
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
9047
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
9048
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
9049
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
9050
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
9052
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
9053
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
9054
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
9055
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
9056
python path. (Robert Collins)
9058
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
9059
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
9060
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
9061
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
9063
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
9064
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
9066
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
9067
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
9070
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
9071
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
9072
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
9074
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
9075
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
9076
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
9078
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
9079
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
9081
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
9082
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
9083
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
9086
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
9087
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
9088
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
9089
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
9092
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
9095
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
9096
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
9099
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
9100
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
9101
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
9103
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
9104
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propagate as normal.
9105
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
9107
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
9108
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
9109
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
9111
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
9112
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
9114
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
9115
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
9116
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
9117
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
9118
caller. (Robert Collins)
9120
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
9121
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
9124
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
9125
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
9128
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
9130
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
9131
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
9136
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
9137
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
9139
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
9140
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
9143
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12

####################
9149
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
9150
allow directories to be listed.
9152
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
9153
upgrading branch format.
9158
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
9167
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
9168
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
9169
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
9170
high-latency connections.
9175
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
9178
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
9179
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
9181
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
9182
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
9183
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
9184
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
9186
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
9187
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
9189
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
9190
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
9192
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
9193
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
9194
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
9196
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
9197
for files with only a change to their executable status.
9198
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
9201
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
9202
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
9204
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
9205
different partial views of history.
9207
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
9208
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
9213
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
9214
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
9215
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
9217
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
9218
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
9221
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
9222
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
9224
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
9227
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
9228
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
9230
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
9231
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
9232
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
9233
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
9235
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
9237
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
9238
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
9241
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
9242
Contributed by Robert Collins.
9244
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
9245
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
9246
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
9252
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
9253
for your viewing pleasure.
9255
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
9256
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
9258
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
9259
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
9260
handling of such circumstances.
9262
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
9263
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
9264
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
9266
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
9268
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
9269
we call them revisions not patches.
9271
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
9272
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
9274
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
9275
giving the revision *of that file*.
9277
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
9278
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
9279
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
9284
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
9285
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
9287
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
9288
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``

9297
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
9299
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
9302
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
9304
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
9306
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
9307
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
9312
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
9313
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
9315
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
9316
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
9317
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
9318
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by

9322
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
9327
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.

9330
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)

####################
9339
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
9340
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
9341
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
9342
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
9345
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
9348
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
9349
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
9350
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
9351
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
9352
for the operating system is still tried.
9354
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
9355
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
9356
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
9362
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
9367
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
9369
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
9372
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be

####################
9390
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
9391
help with intelligent shell completion.
9393
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
9399
* Much better merge support.
9401
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
9402
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
9409
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
9410
mention revisions that are not present.
9412
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
9414
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
9416
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
9417
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
9423
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
9425
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
9426
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
9433
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
9434
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by

####################
9445
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
9446
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
9448
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
9450
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
9451
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
9453
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
9456
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
9458
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
9461
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
9462
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
9464
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
9465
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
9466
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
9472
* Faster working tree operations.
9478
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
9479
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
9480
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
9481
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
9483
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
9484
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
9485
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
9486
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
9487
standard plugins directory.
9489
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
9490
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
9491
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
9492
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
9494
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
9495
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
9497
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
9500
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
9501
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
9502
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
9504
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
9505
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
9507
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
9508
line options must come before the command name because they
9509
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
9510
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
9513
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
9515
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
9516
is available with ``--short``.
9522
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.

#####################
9531
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
9532
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
9534
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
9535
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
9536
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
9537
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
9539
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
9540
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
9541
with the ``--forward`` option.
9543
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
9544
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
9551
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
9552
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
9554
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
9556
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
9557
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
9559
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
9561
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
9562
either read or write mode.
9564
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
9566
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
9569
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
9571
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
9572
suggested by LarstiQ.
9574
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
9575
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
9577
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
9580
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
9581
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
9583
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
9584
haven't changed since the previous time.
9586
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
9587
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
9589
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
9591
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
9593
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
9594
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
9596
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
9597
options through to an external GNU diff.
9599
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
9602
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
9609
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
9610
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
9612
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
9619
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
9620
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
9623
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
9624
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
9626
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
9627
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
9629
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
9630
under a different version.
9632
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
9638
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
9640
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
9641
Scott James Remnant.
9643
* Better help messages for many commands.
9645
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
9646
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
9648
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
9649
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
9651
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
9653
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
9655
* New AtomicFile class.
9657
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
9663
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
