2.1.0 series (not released yet)
10
###############################
18
* Bazaar can now send mail through Apple OS X Mail.app.
21
* ``bzr+ssh`` and ``bzr`` paths can now be relative to home directories
22
specified in the URL. Paths starting with a path segment of ``~`` are
23
relative to the home directory of the user running the server, and paths
24
starting with ``~user`` are relative to the home directory of the named
25
user. For example, for a user "bob" with a home directory of
26
``/home/bob``, these URLs are all equivalent:
28
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~/repo``
29
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~bob/repo``
30
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/home/bob/repo``
32
If ``bzr serve`` was invoked with a ``--directory`` argument, then no
33
home directories outside that directory will be accessible via this
36
This is a feature of ``bzr serve``, so pre-2.1 clients will
37
automatically benefit from this feature when ``bzr`` on the server is
38
upgraded. (Andrew Bennetts, #109143)
40
* Extensions can now be compiled if either Cython or Pyrex is available.
41
Currently Pyrex is preferred, but that may change in the future.
44
* Give more control on BZR_PLUGIN_PATH by providing a way to refer to or
45
disable the user, site and core plugin directories.
46
(Vincent Ladeuil, #412930, #316192, #145612)
51
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
52
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
53
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
54
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
55
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
56
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
57
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
59
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
60
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
61
(Robert Collins, #3918)
63
* ``bzr check`` in pack-0.92, 1.6 and 1.9 format repositories will no
64
longer report incorrect errors about ``Missing inventory ('TREE_ROOT', ...)``
65
(Robert Collins, #416732)
67
* ``bzr dpush`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
68
are present in the working tree. The configuration option ``dpush_strict``
69
can be used to set the default for this behavior.
70
(Vincent Ladeuil, #438158)
72
* ``bzr info -v`` on a 2a format still claimed that it was a "Development
73
format" (John Arbash Meinel, #424392)
75
* ``bzr merge`` and ``bzr remove-tree`` now requires --force if pending
76
merges are present in the working tree.
77
(Vincent Ladeuil, #426344)
79
* bzr will attempt to authenticate with SSH servers that support
80
``keyboard-interactive`` auth but not ``password`` auth when using
81
Paramiko. (Andrew Bennetts, #433846)
83
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
84
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
86
* Conversion to 2a will create a single pack for all the new revisions (as
87
long as it ran without interruption). This improves both ``bzr upgrade``
88
and ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from local branches in older formats.
89
The autopack logic that occurs every 100 revisions during local
90
conversions was not returning that pack's identifier, which resulted in
91
the partial packs created during the conversion not being consolidated
92
at the end of the conversion process. (Robert Collins, #423818)
94
* Don't give a warning on Windows when failing to import ``_readdir_pyx``
95
as it is never built. (John Arbash Meinel, #430645)
97
* Don't restrict the command name used to run the test suite.
98
(Vincent Ladeuil, #419950)
100
* Fetches from 2a to 2a are now again requested in 'groupcompress' order.
101
Groups that are seen as 'underutilized' will be repacked on-the-fly.
102
This means that when the source is fully packed, there is minimal
103
overhead during the fetch, but if the source is poorly packed the result
104
is a fairly well packed repository (not as good as 'bzr pack' but
105
good-enough.) (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #402652)
107
* Fixed fetches from a stacked branch on a smart server that were failing
108
with some combinations of remote and local formats. This was causing
109
"unknown object type identifier 60" errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #427736)
111
* ftp transports were built differently when the kerberos python module was
112
present leading to obscure failures related to ASCII/BINARY modes.
113
(Vincent Ladeuil, #443041)
115
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
116
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
118
* Make sure that we unlock the tree if we fail to create a TreeTransform
119
object when doing a merge, and there is limbo, or pending-deletions
120
directory. (Gary van der Merwe, #427773)
122
* Occasional IndexError on renamed files have been fixed. Operations that
123
set a full inventory in the working tree will now go via the
124
apply_inventory_delta code path which is simpler and easier to
125
understand than dirstates set_state_from_inventory method. This may
126
have a small performance impact on operations built on _write_inventory,
127
but such operations are already doing full tree scans, so no radical
128
performance change should be observed. (Robert Collins, #403322)
130
* Prevent some kinds of incomplete data from being committed to a 2a
131
repository, such as revisions without inventories or inventories without
132
chk_bytes root records.
133
(Andrew Bennetts, #423506)
135
* PreviewTree behaves correctly when get_file_mtime is invoked on an unmodified
136
file. (Aaron Bentley, #251532)
138
* Registry objects should not use iteritems() when asked to use items().
139
(Vincent Ladeuil, #430510)
141
* Weave based repositories couldn't be cloned when committers were using
142
domains or user ids embedding '.sig'. Now they can.
143
(Matthew Fuller, Vincent Ladeuil, #430868)
145
* When a file kind becomes unversionable after being added, a sensible
146
error will be shown instead of a traceback. (Robert Collins, #438569)
151
* Revision specifiers can now be given in a more DWIM form, without
152
needing explicit prefixes for specifiers like tags or revision id's.
153
See ``bzr help revisionspec`` for full details. (Matthew Fuller)
155
* Bazaar gives a warning before exiting, and writes into ``.bzr.log``, if
156
compiled extensions can't be loaded. This typically indicates a
157
packaging or installation problem. In this case Bazaar will keep
158
running using pure-Python versions, but this may be substantially
159
slower. The warning can be disabled by setting
160
``ignore_missing_extensions = True`` in ``bazaar.conf``.
161
See also <https://answers.launchpad.net/bzr/+faq/703>.
162
(Martin Pool, #406113, #430529)
164
* Secondary errors that occur during Branch.unlock and Repository.unlock
165
no longer obscure the original error. These methods now use a new
166
decorator, ``only_raises``. This fixes many causes of
167
``TooManyConcurrentRequests`` and similar errors.
168
(Andrew Bennetts, #429747)
174
* Describe the new shell-like test feature. (Vincent Ladeuil)
176
* Help on hooks no longer says 'Not deprecated' for hooks that are
177
currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)
182
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` has been removed; use
183
``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding`` instead. (Martin Pool)
185
* ``bzrlib.tests`` now uses ``stopTestRun`` for its ``TestResult``
186
subclasses - the same as python's unittest module. (Robert Collins)
188
* ``diff._get_trees_to_diff`` has been renamed to
189
``diff.get_trees_and_branches_to_diff``. It is now a public API, and it
190
returns the old and new branches. (Gary van der Merwe)
192
* ``bzrlib.trace.log_error``, ``error`` and ``info`` have been deprecated.
195
* ``MutableTree.has_changes()`` does not require a tree parameter anymore. It
196
now defaults to comparing to the basis tree. It now checks for pending
197
merges too. ``Merger.check_basis`` has been deprecated and replaced by the
198
corresponding has_changes() calls. ``Merge.compare_basis``,
199
``Merger.file_revisions`` and ``Merger.ensure_revision_trees`` have also
201
(Vincent Ladeuil, #440631)
203
* ``ProgressTask.note`` is deprecated.
209
* Added ``-Drelock`` debug flag. It will ``note`` a message every time a
210
repository or branch object is unlocked then relocked the same way.
213
* ``BTreeLeafParser.extract_key`` has been tweaked slightly to reduce
214
mallocs while parsing the index (approx 3=>1 mallocs per key read).
215
This results in a 10% speedup while reading an index.
218
* The ``bzrlib.lsprof`` module has a new class ``BzrProfiler`` which makes
219
profiling in some situations like callbacks and generators easier.
225
* Passing ``--lsprof-tests -v`` to bzr selftest will cause lsprof output to
226
be output for every test. Note that this is very verbose! (Robert Collins)
228
* Setting ``BZR_TEST_PDB=1`` when running selftest will cause a pdb
229
post_mortem to be triggered when a test failure occurs. (Robert Collins)
231
* Shell-like tests can now be written. Code in ``bzrlib/tests/script.py`` ,
232
documentation in ``developers/testing.txt`` for details.
235
* Some tests could end up with the same id, that was dormant for
237
(Vincent Ladeuil, #442980)
239
* Stop showing the number of tests due to missing features in the test
240
progress bar. (Martin Pool)
242
* Test parameterisation now does a shallow copy, not a deep copy of the test
243
to be parameterised. This is not expected to break external use of test
244
parameterisation, and is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
246
* Tests that try to open a bzr dir on an arbitrary transport will now
247
fail unless they have explicitly permitted the transport via
248
``self.permit_url``. The standard test factories such as ``self.get_url``
249
will permit the urls they provide automatically, so only exceptional
250
tests should need to do this. (Robert Collins)
252
* The break-in test no longer cares about clean shutdown of the child,
253
instead it is happy if the debugger starts up. (Robert Collins)
255
* The full test suite is expected to pass when the C extensions are not
256
present. (Vincent Ladeuil, #430749)
259
bzr 2.0.1 (Not Released Yet)
260
############################
265
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
266
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
267
(Robert Collins, #3918)
269
* bzr will attempt to authenticate with SSH servers that support
270
``keyboard-interactive`` auth but not ``password`` auth when using
271
Paramiko. (Andrew Bennetts, #433846)
273
* Fixed fetches from a stacked branch on a smart server that were failing
274
with some combinations of remote and local formats. This was causing
275
"unknown object type identifier 60" errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #427736)
277
* Improve the time for ``bzr log DIR`` for 2a format repositories.
278
We had been using the same code path as for <2a formats, which required
279
iterating over all objects in all revisions.
280
(John Arbash Meinel, #374730)
282
* Make sure that we unlock the tree if we fail to create a TreeTransform
283
object when doing a merge, and there is limbo, or pending-deletions
284
directory. (Gary van der Merwe, #427773)
286
* Occasional IndexError on renamed files have been fixed. Operations that
287
set a full inventory in the working tree will now go via the
288
apply_inventory_delta code path which is simpler and easier to
289
understand than dirstates set_state_from_inventory method. This may
290
have a small performance impact on operations built on _write_inventory,
291
but such operations are already doing full tree scans, so no radical
292
performance change should be observed. (Robert Collins, #403322)
294
* When a file kind becomes unversionable after being added, a sensible
295
error will be shown instead of a traceback. (Robert Collins, #438569)
297
* Retrieving file text or mtime from a _PreviewTree has good performance when
298
there are many changes. (Aaron Bentley)
305
:Codename: Instant Karma
307
This release of Bazaar makes the 2a (previously 'brisbane-core') format
308
the default when new branches or repositories are created. This format is
309
substantially smaller and faster for many operations. Most of the work in
310
this release focuses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a and
311
previous formats. (See the Upgrade Guide for information on migrating
314
This release also improves the documentation content and presentation,
315
including adding Windows HtmlHelp manuals.
317
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
318
with bugfix-only 2.0.x releases based on it, continuing for at least six
319
months or until the following stable release.
321
Changes from 2.0.0rc2 to final
322
******************************
324
* Officially branded as 2.0.0 rather than 2.0 to clarify between things
325
that "want to happen on the 2.0.x stable series" versus things that want
326
to "land in 2.0.0". (Changes how bzrlib._format_version_tuple() handles
327
micro = 0.) (John Arbash Meinel)
333
:2.0.0rc2: 2009-09-10
338
* Added post_commit hook for mutable trees. This allows the keywords
339
plugin to expand keywords on files changed by the commit.
340
(Ian Clatworthy, #408841)
345
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
346
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
347
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
348
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
349
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
350
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
351
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
353
* ``bzr check`` in pack-0.92, 1.6 and 1.9 format repositories will no
354
longer report incorrect errors about ``Missing inventory ('TREE_ROOT', ...)``
355
(Robert Collins, #416732)
357
* ``bzr info -v`` on a 2a format still claimed that it was a "Development
358
format" (John Arbash Meinel, #424392)
360
* ``bzr log stacked-branch`` shows the full log including
361
revisions that are in the fallback repository. (Regressed in 2.0rc1).
362
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
364
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
365
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
367
* Conversion to 2a will create a single pack for all the new revisions (as
368
long as it ran without interruption). This improves both ``bzr upgrade``
369
and ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from local branches in older formats.
370
The autopack logic that occurs every 100 revisions during local
371
conversions was not returning that pack's identifier, which resulted in
372
the partial packs created during the conversion not being consolidated
373
at the end of the conversion process. (Robert Collins, #423818)
375
* Fetches from 2a to 2a are now again requested in 'groupcompress' order.
376
Groups that are seen as 'underutilized' will be repacked on-the-fly.
377
This means that when the source is fully packed, there is minimal
378
overhead during the fetch, but if the source is poorly packed the result
379
is a fairly well packed repository (not as good as 'bzr pack' but
380
good-enough.) (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #402652)
382
* Fix a potential segmentation fault when doing 'log' of a branch that had
383
ghosts in its mainline. (Evaluating None as a tuple is bad.)
384
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
386
* ``groupcompress`` sort order is now more stable, rather than relying on
387
``topo_sort`` ordering. The implementation is now
388
``KnownGraph.gc_sort``. (John Arbash Meinel)
390
* Local data conversion will generate correct deltas. This is a critical
391
bugfix vs 2.0rc1, and all 2.0rc1 users should upgrade to 2.0rc2 before
392
converting repositories. (Robert Collins, #422849)
394
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
395
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
397
* Prevent some kinds of incomplete data from being committed to a 2a
398
repository, such as revisions without inventories, a missing chk_bytes
399
record for an inventory, or a missing text referenced by an inventory.
400
(Andrew Bennetts, #423506, #406687)
405
* Fix assertion error about "_remember_remote_is_before" when pushing to
407
(Andrew Bennetts, #418931)
409
* Help on hooks no longer says 'Not deprecated' for hooks that are
410
currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)
412
* PDF and CHM (Windows HtmlHelp) formats are now supported for the
413
user documentation. The HTML documentation is better broken up into
414
topics. (Ian Clatworthy)
416
* The developer and foreign language documents are now separated
417
out so that searching in the HTML and CHM files produces more
418
useful results. (Ian Clatworthy)
420
* The main table of contents now provides links to the new Migration Docs
421
and Plugins Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
427
:Codename: no worries
428
:2.0.0rc1: 2009-08-26
433
* The default format for bzr is now ``2a``. This format brings many
434
significant performance and size improvements. bzr can pull from
435
any existing repository into a ``2a`` one, but can only transfer
436
from ``2a`` into ``rich-root`` repositories. The Upgrade guide
437
has more information about this change. (Robert Collins)
439
* On Windows auto-detection of Putty's plink.exe is disabled.
440
Default SSH client for Windows is paramiko. User still can force
441
usage of plink if explicitly set environment variable BZR_SSH=plink.
442
(#414743, Alexander Belchenko)
447
* ``bzr branch --switch`` can now switch the checkout in the current directory
448
to the newly created branch. (Lukáš Lalinský)
453
* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.
454
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
456
* Fetches were being requested in 'groupcompress' order, but weren't
457
recombining the groups. Thus they would 'fragment' to get the correct
458
order, but not 'recombine' to actually benefit from it. Until we get
459
recombining to work, switching to 'unordered' fetches avoids the
460
fragmentation. (John Arbash Meinel, #402645)
462
* Fix a pycurl related test failure on karmic by recognizing an error
463
raised by newer versions of pycurl.
464
(Vincent Ladeuil, #306264)
466
* Fix a test failure on karmic by making a locale test more robust.
467
(Vincent Ladeuil, #413514)
469
* Fix IndexError printing CannotBindAddress errors.
470
(Martin Pool, #286871)
472
* Fix "Revision ... not present" errors when upgrading stacked branches,
473
or when doing fetches from a stacked source to a stacked target.
474
(Andrew Bennetts, #399140)
476
* ``bzr branch`` of 2a repositories over HTTP is much faster. bzr now
477
batches together small fetches from 2a repositories, rather than
478
fetching only a few hundred bytes at a time.
479
(Andrew Bennetts, #402657)
484
* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
485
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
486
(Martin Pool, #409137)
488
* bzr can now (again) capture crash data through the apport library,
489
so that a single human-readable file can be attached to bug reports.
490
This can be disabled by using ``-Dno_apport`` on the command line, or by
491
putting ``no_apport`` into the ``debug_flags`` section of
493
(Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #389328)
495
* ``bzr push`` locally on windows will no longer give a locking error with
496
dirstate based formats. (Robert Collins)
498
* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on windows.
499
(Robert Collins, #305006)
501
* Commit of specific files no longer prevents using the the iter_changes
502
codepath. On 2a repositories, commit of specific files should now be as
503
fast, or slightly faster, than a full commit. (Robert Collins)
505
* The internal core code that handles specific file operations like
506
``bzr st FILENAME`` or ``bzr commit FILENAME`` has been changed to
507
include the parent directories if they have altered, and when a
508
directory stops being a directory its children are always included. This
509
fixes a number of causes for ``InconsistentDelta`` errors, and permits
510
faster commit of specific paths. (Robert Collins, #347649)
515
* New developer documentation for content filtering.
521
* ``bzrlib.shelf_ui`` has had the ``from_args`` convenience methods of its
522
classes changed to manage lock lifetime of the trees they open in a way
523
consistent with reader-exclusive locks. (Robert Collins, #305006)
531
:Codename: nein nein nein!
534
This release fixes two small but worthwhile bugs relevant to users on
535
Microsoft Windows: some commands that failed on with locking errors will
536
now work, and a bug that caused poor performance after committing a file
537
with line-ending conversion has now been fixed. It also fixes a bug in
538
pushing to older servers.
543
* Fixed a problem where using content filtering and especially end-of-line
544
conversion will commit too many copies a file.
545
(Martin Pool, #415508)
547
* Fix assertion error about ``_remember_remote_is_before`` in
548
``set_tags_bytes`` when pushing to older smart servers.
549
(Andrew Bennetts, Alexander Belchenko, #418931)
554
* ``bzr push`` locally on Windows will no longer give a locking error with
555
dirstate based formats. (Robert Collins)
557
* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on Windows.
558
(Robert Collins, #305006)
563
* ``bzrlib.shelf_ui`` has had the ``from_args`` convenience methods of its
564
classes changed to manage lock lifetime of the trees they open in a way
565
consistent with reader-exclusive locks. (Robert Collins, #305006)
567
* ``Tree.path_content_summary`` may return a size of None, when called on
568
a tree with content filtering where the size of the canonical form
569
cannot be cheaply determined. (Martin Pool)
571
* When manually creating transport servers in test cases, a new helper
572
``TestCase.start_server`` that registers a cleanup and starts the server
573
should be used. (Robert Collins)
581
* Committing directly to a stacked branch from a lightweight checkout will
582
no longer work. In previous versions this would appear to work but would
583
generate repositories with insufficient data to create deltas, leading
584
to later errors when branching or reading from the repository.
585
(Robert Collins, bug #375013)
593
* Fetching from 2a branches from a version-2 bzr protocol would fail to
594
copy the internal inventory pages from the CHK store. This cannot happen
595
in normal use as all 2a compatible clients and servers support the
596
version-3 protocol, but it does cause test suite failures when testing
597
downlevel protocol behaviour. (Robert Collins)
599
* Fix a test failure on karmic by making a locale test more robust.
600
(Vincent Ladeuil, #413514)
602
* Fixed "Pack ... already exists" error when running ``bzr pack`` on a
603
fully packed 2a repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #382463)
605
* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.
606
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
608
* Properly handle fetching into a stacked branch while converting the
609
data, especially when there are also ghosts. The code was filling in
610
parent inventories incorrectly, and also not handling when one of the
611
parents was a ghost. (John Arbash Meinel, #402778, #412198)
613
* ``RemoteStreamSource.get_stream_for_missing_keys`` will fetch CHK
614
inventory pages when appropriate (by falling back to the vfs stream
615
source). (Andrew Bennetts, #406686)
617
* StreamSource generates rich roots from non-rich root sources correctly
618
now. (Andrew Bennetts, #368921)
620
* When deciding whether a repository was compatible for upgrading or
621
fetching, we previously incorrectly checked the default repository
622
format for the bzrdir format, rather than the format that was actually
623
present on disk. (Martin Pool, #408824)
628
* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
629
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
630
(Martin Pool, #409137)
632
* Cross-format fetches (such as between 1.9-rich-root and 2a) via the
633
smart server are more efficient now. They send inventory deltas rather
634
than full inventories. The smart server has two new requests,
635
``Repository.get_stream_1.19`` and ``Repository.insert_stream_1.19`` to
636
support this. (Andrew Bennetts, #374738, #385826)
638
* Extracting the full ancestry and computing the ``merge_sort`` is now
639
significantly faster. This effects things like ``bzr log -n0``. (For
640
example, ``bzr log -r -10..-1 -n0 bzr.dev`` is 2.5s down to 1.0s.
652
* ``-Dstrict_locks`` can now be used to check that read and write locks
653
are treated properly w.r.t. exclusivity. (We don't try to take an OS
654
read lock on a file that we already have an OS write lock on.) This is
655
now set by default for all tests, if you have a test which cannot be
656
fixed, you can use ``self.thisFailsStrictLockCheck()`` as a
657
compatibility knob. (John Arbash Meinel)
659
* InterDifferingSerializer is now only used locally. Other fetches that
660
would have used InterDifferingSerializer now use the more network
661
friendly StreamSource, which now automatically does the same
662
transformations as InterDifferingSerializer. (Andrew Bennetts)
664
* ``KnownGraph`` now has a ``.topo_sort`` and ``.merge_sort`` member which
665
are implemented in pyrex and significantly faster. This is exposed along
666
with ``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()`` as
667
``VersionedFiles.get_known_graph_ancestry(keys)``.
670
* RemoteBranch.open now honours ignore_fallbacks correctly on bzr-v2
671
protocols. (Robert Collins)
673
* The index code now has some specialized routines to extract the full
674
ancestry of a key in a more efficient manner.
675
``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()``. (Time to get ancestry for
676
bzr.dev drops from 1.5s down to 300ms. For OOo from 33s => 10.5s) (John
682
* Install the test ssl certificate and key so that installed bzr
683
can run the https tests. (Denys Duchier, #392401)

693
This release of Bazaar marches on towards the 2.0 release in which the 2a
694
'brisbane-core' format becomes generally recommended. Most of the work in
695
this release now focusses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a
696
and previous formats. There is a new text-mode interactive merge feature,
697
a new guide to migration to 2a format in the user documentation, and
698
pushing branches to a smart server is now much faster.
700
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
701
with bugfix-only releases based on it continuing for at least six months
702
or until the following stable release.
704
There are no changes from 1.18rc1 to 1.18.
709
* ``bzr merge --interactive`` applies a user-selected portion of the
710
merge. The UI is similar to ``shelve``. (Aaron Bentley)
712
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now takes options ``--stacked-on URL`` and
713
``--unstacked`` to change stacking of a branch.
714
(Martin Pool, #391411)
719
* Annotating on a stacked branch will now succeed in simple scenarios.
720
There are still some complex scenarios where it will fail (bug #399884)
721
(John Arbash Meinel, #393366)
723
* A progress bar is no longer left dangling when ``bzr selftest``
724
completes, and the progress bar updates with zero latency so the
725
displayed test name is always the one that's actually running.
726
(Martin Pool, #123688)
728
* Authenticating against an ssh server now uses ``auth_none`` to determine
729
if password authentication is even supported. This fixes a bug where
730
users would be prompted for a launchpad password, even though launchpad
731
only supports publickey authentication. (John Arbash Meinel, #375867)
733
* BranchBuilder now accepts timezone to avoid test failures in countries far
734
from GMT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #397716)
736
* ``bzr commit`` no longer saves the unversioning of missing files until
737
the commit has completed on the branch. This means that aborting a
738
commit that found a missing file will leave the tree unedited.
739
(Robert Collins, #282402)
741
* ``bzr mv`` no longer takes out branch locks, which allows it to work
742
when the branch is readonly. (Robert Collins, #216541)
744
* ``bzr revert .`` no longer generates an InconsistentDelta error when
745
there are missing subtrees. (Robert Collins, #367632)
747
* ``bzr send`` now generates valid bundles with ``--2a`` formats. However,
748
do to internal changes necessary to support this, older clients will
749
fail when trying to insert them. For newer clients, the bundle can be
750
used to apply the changes to any rich-root compatible format.
751
(John Arbash Meinel, #393349)
753
* Cope with FTP servers that don't support restart/append by falling back
754
to reading and then rewriting the whole file, such as TahoeLAFS. (This
755
fallback may be slow for some access patterns.) (Nils Durner, #294709)
757
* Encode the paths in ``mbcs`` encoding on Windows when spawning an
758
external diff client. This at least allows supporting filenames that are
759
not ascii, but are present in the current locale. Ideally we would be
760
able to pass the Unicode path, but that would be client dependent.
761
(John Arbash Meinel, #382709)
763
* Fix a compile bug on Solaris having to do with const and
764
pointer-to-pointers. (John Arbash Meinel, #408441)
766
* Fixed a NameError that occurs when merging or pulling from a URL that
767
causes a redirection loop when bzr tries to read a URL as a bundle.
768
(Andrew Bennetts, #400847)
770
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'TestUIFactory' object has no attribute 'tick'``
771
running send and similar commands on 2a formats.
772
(Martin Pool, #408201)
774
* Fix crash in some invocations of ``bzr status`` in format 2a.
775
(Martin Pool, #403523)
777
* Fixed export to existing directory: if directory is empty then export
778
will succeed, otherwise it fails with error.
779
(Alexander Belchenko, #406174)
781
* Fixed spurious "Source branch does not support stacking" warning when
782
pushing. (Andrew Bennetts, #388908)
784
* Fixed spurious transport activity indicator appearing while tests are
785
running. (Martin Pool, #343532)
787
* Merge now correctly handles empty right-hand revision specs.
788
(Aaron Bentley, #333961)
790
* Renames to lexographically lower basenames in trees that have never been
791
committed to will no longer corrupt the dirstate. This was caused by an
792
bug in the dirstate update_minimal method. (Robert Collins, #395556)
794
* Requests for unknown methods no longer cause the smart server to log
795
lots of backtraces about ``UnknownSmartMethod``, ``do_chunk`` or
796
``do_end``. (Andrew Bennetts, #338561)
798
* Shelve will not shelve the initial add of the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
800
* Streaming from bzr servers where there is a chain of stacked branches
801
(A stacked on B stacked on C) will now work. (Robert Collins, #406597)
803
* The environment variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` set to either ``text`` or ``none``
804
always forces progress bars either on or off respectively. Otherwise,
805
they're turned on if ``TERM`` is not ``dumb`` and stderr is a terminal.
806
bzr always uses the 'text' user interface when run as a command, so
807
``BZR_USE_TEXT_UI`` is no longer needed.
808
(Martin Pool, #339385, #387717)
810
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
811
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
812
repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)
814
* The ``--hardlink`` option to ``branch`` and ``checkout`` is not
815
supported at the moment on workingtree formats that can do content
816
filtering. (See <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/408193>.)
817
bzr now says so, rather than just ignoring the option. (Martin Pool)
819
* There was a bug in ``osutils.relpath`` that was only triggered on
820
Windows. Essentially if you were at the root of a drive, and did
821
something to a branch/repo on another drive, we would go into an
822
infinite loop while trying to find a 'relative path'.
823
(John Arbash Meinel, #394227)
825
* ``WorkingTree4.unversion`` will no longer fail to unversion ids which
826
were present in a parent tree but renamed in the working tree.
827
(Robert Collins, #187207)
832
* Can now rename/move files even if they have been removed from the inventory.
835
* Pushing branches with tags via ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` is much
836
faster, using a new ``Branch.set_tags_bytes`` smart server verb rather
837
than VFS methods. For example, pushes of small branches with tags take
838
11 rather than 18 smart server requests. (Andrew Bennetts, #398608)
840
* Sending Ctrl-Break on Windows will now drop you into the debugger, in
841
the same way that sending Ctrl-\\ does on other platforms.
847
* Added Bazaar 2.0 Upgrade Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
852
* ``CLIUIFactory`` is deprecated; use ``TextUIFactory`` instead if you
853
need to subclass or create a specific class, or better yet the existing
854
``make_ui_for_terminal``. ``SilentUIFactory`` is clarified to do no
855
user interaction at all, rather than trying to read from stdin but not
856
writing any output, which would be strange if reading prompts or
857
passwords. (Martin Pool)
859
* New TransformPreview.commit() allows committing without a working tree.
862
* ``pb`` parameter to ``TextTestResult`` is deprecated and ignored.
865
* ProgressTasks now prefer to talk direct to their ProgressView not to the
869
* ``WorkingTree._check`` now requires a references dict with keys matching
870
those returned by ``WorkingTree._get_check_refs``. (Robert Collins)
875
* ``CHKInventory.path2id`` uses the parent_id to basename hash to avoid
876
reading the entries along the path, reducing work to lookup ids from
877
paths. (Robert Collins)
879
* ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` now raises ``InconsistentDelta`` if a delta adds
880
as new a key which was already mapped. (Robert Collins)
882
* Inventory delta application catches more cases of corruption and can
883
prevent corrupt deltas from affecting consistency of data structures on
884
disk. (Robert Collins)
886
* --subunit support now adds timestamps if the subunit version supports
889
* The Windows all-in-one installer now bundles the PyQt image format
890
plugins, which allows previewing more images as part of 'qdiff'.
891
(Alexander Belchenko)
897
* Merge directive cherrypick tests must use the same root id.
898
(Martin Pool, #409684)
900
* Spurious failure in ``check`` tests on rich-root formats fixed.
901
(Martin Pool, #408199)
903
* The ``bzrlib.tests.TextTestRunner`` will no longer call
904
``countTestsCases`` on the test being run. Progress information is
905
instead handled by having the test passed in call ``result.progress``
906
before running its contents. This improves the behaviour when using
907
``TextTestRunner`` with test suites that don't support
908
``countTestsCases``. (Robert Collins)
911
bzr 1.17.1 (unreleased)
912
#######################
917
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
918
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
919
knit format repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)
924
:Codename: so-late-its-brunch
929
Bazaar continues to blaze a straight and shining path to the 2.0 release and
930
the elevation of the ``2a`` beta format to the full glory of "supported and
933
Highlights in this release include greatly reduced memory consumption during
934
commits, faster ``ls``, faster ``annotate``, faster network operations if
935
you're specifying a revision number and the final destruction of those
936
annoying progress bar artifacts.
939
Changes from 1.17rc1 to 1.17final
940
*********************************
942
* Change an extension to call the python ``frozenset()`` rather than the C
943
api ``PyFrozenSet_New``. It turns out that python2.4 did not expose the
944
C api. (John Arbash Meinel, #399366)
946
* Fixes for the Makefile and the rename of ``generate_docs.py`` to
947
``tools/generate_docs.py`` to allow everything to be built on Windows.
948
(John Arbash Meinel, #399356)
950
* ``bzr serve`` once again applies a ``ChrootServer`` to the given
951
directory before serving it. (Andrew Bennetts, #400535)
957
* ``bzr register-branch`` from the Launchpad plugin now refers to "project"
958
instead of "product" which is the correct Launchpad terminology. The
959
--product option is deprecated and users should switch to using --project.
960
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #238764)
966
* ``bzr push`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
967
are present in the working tree (if one is present) and no revision is
968
specified. The configuration option ``push_strict`` can be used to set the
969
default for this behavior. (Vincent Ladeuil, #284038, #322808, #65286)
971
* ``bzr revno`` and ``bzr revision-info`` now have a ``--tree`` option to
972
show revision info for the working tree instead of the branch.
973
(Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
975
* ``bzr send`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
976
are present in the working tree and no revision is specified. The
977
configuration option ``send_strict`` can be used to set the default for this
979
(Vincent Ladeuil, #206577)
981
* ``bzr switch --create-branch/-b`` can now be used to create and switch
982
to a new branch. Supplying a name without a ``/`` will create the branch
983
relative to the existing branch. (similar to how ``bzr switch name``
984
works when the branch already exists.) (John Arbash Meinel)
990
* Accept uppercase "Y/N" to prompts such as from break lock.
991
(#335182, Tim Powell, Martin Pool)
993
* Add documentation about diverged branches and how to fix them in the
994
centralized workflow with local commits. Mention ``bzr help
995
diverged-branches`` when a push fails because the branches have
996
diverged. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #269477)
998
* Annotate would sometimes 'latch on' to trivial lines, causing important
999
lines to be incorrectly annotated. (John Arbash Meinel, #387952)
1001
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
1002
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
1003
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
1005
* Avoid progress bar artifacts being left behind on the screen.
1006
(Martin Pool, #321935)
1008
* Better message in ``bzr split`` error suggesting a rich root format.
1009
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #220067)
1011
* ``Branch.set_append_revisions_only`` now works with branches on a smart
1012
server. (Andrew Bennetts, #365865)
1014
* By default, ``bzr branch`` will fail if the target directory exists, but
1015
does not already have a control directory. The flag ``--use-existing-dir``
1016
will allow operation to proceed. (Alexander Belchenko, #307554)
1018
* ``bzr ls DIR --from-root`` now shows only things in DIR, not everything.
1021
* Fetch between repositories does not error if they have inconsistent data
1022
that should be irrelevant to the fetch operation. (Aaron Bentley)
1024
* Fix ``AttributeError`` exception when reconfiguring lightweight checkout
1025
of a remote repository.
1026
(Jelmer Vernooij, #332194)
1028
* Fix bug in decoding v3 smart server messages when receiving multiple
1029
lots of excess bytes after an end-of-message.
1032
* Force deletion of readonly files during merge, update and other tree
1034
(Craig Hewetson, Martin Pool, #218206)
1036
* Force socket shutdown in threaded http test servers to avoid client hangs
1037
(pycurl). (Vincent Ladeuil, #383920).
1039
* ``LRUCache`` will maintain the linked list pointers even if a nodes
1040
cleanup function raises an exception. (John Arbash Meinel, #396838)
1042
* Progress bars are now suppressed again when the environment variable
1043
``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` is set to ``none``.
1044
(Martin Pool, #339385)
1046
* Reduced memory consumption during ``bzr commit`` of large files. For
1047
pre 2a formats, should be down to ~3x the size of a file.
1048
For ``--2a`` format repositories, it is down to the size of the file
1049
content plus the size of the compressed text. Related to bug #109114.
1050
(John Arbash Meinel)
1052
* Set hidden attribute on .bzr directory below unicode path should never
1053
fail with error. The operation should succeed even if bzr unable to set
1054
the attribute. (Alexander Belchenko, related to bug #335362).
1056
* Stacking will no longer accept requests to stack on the same
1057
branch/repository. Existing branches that incorrectly reference the same
1058
repository in a stacking configuration will now raise
1059
UnstackableLocationError when the branch is opened. This can be fixed by
1060
removing the stacking location inside ``.bzr/branch``.
1061
(Robert Collins, #376243)
1063
* The ``log+`` decorator, useful in debugging or profiling, could cause
1064
"AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'next'". This is now
1065
fixed. The log decorator no longer shows the elapsed time or transfer
1066
rate because they're available in the log prefixes and the transport
1067
activity display respectively.
1068
(Martin Pool, #340347)
1070
* Unshelve works correctly when multiple zero-length files are present on
1071
the shelf. (Aaron Bentley, #363444)
1073
* Progress bars no longer show the network transport scheme or direction.
1076
* launchpad-login now respects the 'verbose' option.
1077
(Jonathan Lange, #217031)
1083
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is now officially deprecated. It is not
1084
possible to write a deprecation wrapper, but the variable will be
1085
removed in the near future. Use ``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding()``
1086
instead. (Alexander Belchenko)
1088
* Command lookup has had hooks added. ``bzrlib.Command.hooks`` has
1089
three new hook points: ``get_command``, ``get_missing_command`` and
1090
``list_commands``, which allow just-in-time command name provision
1091
rather than requiring all command names be known a-priori.
1094
* ``get_app_path`` from win32utils.py now supports REG_EXPAND_SZ data type
1095
and can read path to wordpad.exe. (Alexander Belchenko, #392046)
1097
* ``graph.KnownGraph`` has been added. This is a class that can give
1098
answers to ``heads()`` very quickly. However, it has the assumption that
1099
the whole graph has already been loaded. This is true during
1100
``annotate`` so it is used there with good success (as much as 2x faster
1101
for files with long ancestry and 'cherrypicked' changes.)
1102
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1104
* OS file locks are now taken out using ``CreateFile`` rather than
1105
``LockFileEx`` on Windows. The locking remains exclusive with
1106
``LockFileEx`` but now it also works on older versions of Windows (such
1107
as Win98). (Martin <gzlist>)
1109
* pack <=> pack fetching is now done via a ``PackStreamSource`` rather
1110
than the ``Packer`` code. The user visible change is that we now
1111
properly fetch the minimum number of texts for non-smart fetching.
1112
(John Arbash Meinel)
1115
* ``VersionedFiles._add_text`` is a new api that lets us insert text into
1116
the repository as a single string, rather than a list of lines. This can
1117
improve memory overhead and performance of committing large files.
1118
(Currently a private api, used only by commit). (John Arbash Meinel)
1124
* ``bzr annotate`` can now be significantly faster. The time for
1125
``bzr annotate NEWS`` is down to 7s from 22s in 1.16. Files with long
1126
histories and lots of 'duplicate insertions' will be improved more than
1127
others. (John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1129
* ``bzr ls`` is now faster. On OpenOffice.org, the time drops from 2.4
1130
to 1.1 seconds. The improvement for ``bzr ls -r-1`` is more
1131
substantial dropping from 54.3 to 1.1 seconds. (Ian Clatworthy)
1133
* Improve "Path(s) are not versioned" error reporting for some commands.
1136
* Initial commit performance in ``--2a`` repositories has been improved by
1137
making it cheaper to build the initial CHKMap. (John Arbash Meinel)
1139
* Resolving a revno to a revision id on a branch accessed via ``bzr://``
1140
or ``bzr+ssh://`` is now much faster and involves no VFS operations.
1141
This speeds up commands like ``bzr pull -r 123``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1143
* ``revision-info`` now properly aligns the revnos/revids in the output
1144
and doesn't traceback when given revisions not in the current branch.
1145
Performance is also significantly improved when requesting multiple revs
1146
at once. (Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
1148
* Tildes are no longer escaped by Transports. (Andy Kilner)
1154
* Avoid bad text wrapping in generated documentation. Slightly better
1155
formatting in the user reference.
1156

* Minor clarifications to the help for End-Of-Line conversions.
1164
* Removed overspecific error class ``InvalidProgressBarType``.
1167
* The method ``ProgressView._show_transport_activity`` is now
1168
``show_transport_activity`` because it's part of the contract between
1169

End user testing of the 2a format revealed two serious bugs. The first,
1178
#365615, caused bzr to raise AbsentContentFactory errors when autopacking.
1179
This meant that commits or pushes to 2a-format repositories failed
1182
The second bug, #390563, caused the smart server to raise AbsentContentFactory
1183
when streaming 2a stacked 2a-format branches. This particularly affected
1184
branches stored on Launchpad in the 2a format.
1186
Both of these bugs cause command failures only, neither of them cause data
1187
corruption or data loss. And, of course, both of these bugs are now fixed.
1192
* We now properly request a more minimal set of file texts when fetching
1193
multiple revisions. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
1195
* Repositories using CHK pages (which includes the new 2a format) will no
1196
longer error during commit or push operations when an autopack operation
1197
is triggered. (Robert Collins, #365615)
1199
* ``chk_map.iter_interesting_nodes`` now properly uses the *intersection*
1200
of referenced nodes rather than the *union* to determine what
1201
uninteresting pages we still need to look at. Prior to this,
1202
incrementally pushing to stacked branch would push the minimal data, but
1203
fetching everything would request extra texts. There are some unhandled
1204
cases wrt trees of different depths, but this fixes the common cases.
1205
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
1207
* ``GroupCompress`` repositories now take advantage of the pack hints
1208
parameter to permit cross-format fetching to incrementally pack the
1209
converted data. (Robert Collins)
1211
* ``Repository.commit_write_group`` now returns opaque data about what
1212
was committed, for passing to the ``Repository.pack``. Repositories
1213
without atomic commits will still return None. (Robert Collins)
1215
* ``Repository.pack`` now takes an optional ``hint`` parameter
1216
which will support doing partial packs for repositories that can do
1217
that. (Robert Collins)
1219
* RepositoryFormat has a new attribute 'pack_compresses' which is True
1220
when doing a pack operation changes the compression of content in the
1221
repository. (Robert Collins)
1223
* ``StreamSink`` and ``InterDifferingSerialiser`` will call
1224
``Repository.pack`` with the hint returned by
1225
``Repository.commit_write_group`` if the formats were different and the
1226
repository can increase compression by doing a pack operation.

:1.16rc1: 2009-06-11
1236
This version of Bazaar contains the beta release of the new ``2a`` repository
1237
format, suitable for testing by fearless, advanced users. This format or an
1238
updated version of it will become the default format in Bazaar 2.0. Please
1239
read the NEWS entry before even thinking about upgrading to the new format.
1241
Also included are speedups for many operations on huge projects, a bug fix for
1242
pushing stacked new stacked branches to smart servers and the usual bevy of
1243
bug fixes and improvements.
1246
Changes from 1.16rc1 to 1.16final
1247
*********************************
1249
* Fix the nested tree flag check so that upgrade from development formats to
1250
2a can work correctly.
1251
(Jelmer Vernooij, #388727)
1253
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
1254
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.

Compatibility Breaks
1259
********************
1261
* Display prompt on stderr (instead of stdout) when querying users so
1262
that the output of commands can be safely redirected.
1263
(Vincent Ladeuil, #376582)
1269
* A new repository format ``2a`` has been added. This is a beta release
1270
of the the brisbane-core (aka group-compress) project. This format now
1271
suitable for wider testing by advanced users willing to deal with some
1272
bugs. We would appreciate test reports, either positive or negative.
1273
Format 2a is substantially smaller and faster for many operations on
1274
many trees. This format or an updated version will become the default
1277
This is a rich-root format, so this repository format can be used with
1278
bzr-svn. Bazaar branches in previous non-rich-root formats can be
1279
converted (including by merge, push and pull) to format 2a, but not vice
1280
versa. We recommend upgrading previous development formats to 2a.
1282
Upgrading to this format can take considerable time because it expands
1283
and more concisely repacks the full history.
1285
If you use stacked branches, you must upgrade the stacked branches
1286
before the stacked-on branches. (See <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/374735>)
1288
* ``--development7-rich-root`` is a new dev format, similar to ``--dev6``
1289
but using a Revision serializer using bencode rather than XML.
1290
(Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
1292
* mail_client=claws now supports --body (and message body hooks). Also uses
1293
configured from address. (Barry Warsaw)
1299
* ``--development6-rich-root`` can now stack. (Modulo some smart-server
1300
bugs with stacking and non default formats.)
1301
(John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
1303
* ``--development6-rich-root`` delays generating a delta index for the
1304
first object inserted into a group. This has a beneficial impact on
1305
``bzr commit`` since each committed texts goes to its own group. For
1306
committing a 90MB file, it drops peak memory by about 200MB, and speeds
1307
up commit from 7s => 4s. (John Arbash Meinel)
1309
* Numerous operations are now faster for huge projects, i.e. those
1310
with a large number of files and/or a large number of revisions,
1311
particularly when the latest development format is used. These
1312
operations (and improvements on OpenOffice.org) include:
1314
* branch in a shared repository (2X faster)
1315
* branch --no-tree (100X faster)
1321
* Pyrex version of ``bencode`` support. This provides optimized support
1322
for both encoding and decoding, and is now found at ``bzrlib.bencode``.
1323
``bzrlib.utils.bencode`` is now deprecated.
1324
(Alexander Belchenko, Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
1330
* Bazaar can now pass attachment files to the mutt email client.
1331
(Edwin Grubbs, #384158)
1333
* Better message in ``bzr add`` output suggesting using ``bzr ignored`` to
1334
see which files can also be added. (Jason Spashett, #76616)
1336
* ``bzr pull -r 123`` from a stacked branch on a smart server no longer fails.
1337
Also, the ``Branch.revision_history()`` API now works in the same
1338
situation. (Andrew Bennetts, #380314)
1340
* ``bzr serve`` on Windows no longer displays a traceback simply because a
1341
TCP client disconnected. (Andrew Bennetts)
1343
* Clarify the rules for locking and fallback repositories. Fix bugs in how
1344
``RemoteRepository`` was handling fallbacks along with the
1345
``_real_repository``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #375496)
1347
* Fix a small bug with fetching revisions w/ ghosts into a new stacked
1348
branch. Not often triggered, because it required ghosts to be part of
1349
the fetched revisions, not in the stacked-on ancestry.
1350
(John Arbash Meinel)
1352
* Fix status and commit to work with content filtered trees, addressing
1353
numerous bad bugs with line-ending support. (Ian Clatworthy, #362030)
1355
* Fix problem of "directory not empty" when contending for a lock over
1356
sftp. (Martin Pool, #340352)
1358
* Fix rule handling so that eol is optional, not mandatory.
1359
(Ian Clatworthy, #379370)
1361
* Pushing a new stacked branch to a 1.15 smart server was broken due to a
1362
bug in the ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` smart verb. This is fixed in
1363
1.16, but required changes to the network protocol, so the
1364
``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` verb has been removed and replaced with a
1365
corrected ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex_1.16`` verb. 1.15 clients will
1366
still work with a 1.16 server as they will fallback to slower (and
1368
(Jonathan Lange, Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts, #385132)
1370
* Reconcile can now deal with text revisions that originated in revisions
1371
that are ghosts. (Jelmer Vernooij, #336749)
1373
* Support cloning of branches with ghosts in the left hand side history.
1374
(Jelmer Vernooij, #248540)
1376
* The ''bzr diff'' now catches OSError from osutils.rmtree and logs a
1377
helpful message to the trace file, unless the temp directory really was
1378
removed (which would be very strange). Since the diff operation has
1379
succeeded from the user's perspective, no output is written to stderr
1380
or stdout. (Maritza Mendez, #363837)
1382
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
1383
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
1384
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
1385
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
1390
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in Russian.
1391
(Alexey Shtokalo, Alexander Iljin, Alexander Belchenko, Dmitry Vasiliev,
1392
Volodymyr Kotulskyi)
1397
* Added osutils.parent_directories(). (Ian Clatworthy)
1399
* ``bzrlib.progress.ProgressBar``, ``ChildProgress``, ``DotsProgressBar``,
1400
``TTYProgressBar`` and ``child_progress`` are now deprecated; use
1401
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1403
* ``graph.StackedParentsProvider`` is now a public API, replacing
1404
``graph._StackedParentsProvider``. The api is now considered stable and ready
1405
for external users. (Gary van der Merwe)
1407
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is deprecated in favor of
1408
``get_user_encoding``. (Alexander Belchenko)
1410
* TreeTransformBase no longer assumes that limbo is provided via disk.
1411
DiskTreeTransform now provides disk functionality. (Aaron Bentley)
1416
* Remove ``weave.py`` script for accessing internals of old weave-format
1417
repositories. (Martin Pool)
1422
* ``make check`` no longer repeats the test run in ``LANG=C``.
1423
(Martin Pool, #386180)
1425
* The number of cores is now correctly detected on OSX. (John Szakmeister)
1427
* The number of cores is also detected on Solaris and win32. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1429
* The number of cores is also detected on FreeBSD. (Matthew Fuller)
1434
:1.15rc1: 2009-05-16
1438
The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming content
1439
with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search. New command ``bzr
1440
dpush``. Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two
1441
revisions introduce the exact same line.
1443
Changes from 1.15.1 to 1.15.2
1444
*****************************
1446
* Use zdll on Windows to build ``_chk_map_pyx`` extension.
1447
(Alexander Belchenko)
1449
Changes from 1.15final to 1.15.1
1450
*********************************
1452
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
1453
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
1454
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
1455
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)

Changes from 1.15rc1 to 1.15final
1458
*********************************
1462
Compatibility Breaks
1463
********************
1465
* ``bzr ls`` is no longer recursive by default. To recurse, use the
1466
new ``-R`` option. The old ``--non-recursive`` option has been removed.
1467
If you alias ``ls`` to ``ls -R``, you can disable recursion using
1468
``--no-recursive`` instead. (Ian Clatworthy)
1473
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
1474
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
1477
* The new development format ``--development6-rich-root`` now supports
1478
stacking. We chose not to use a new format marker, since old clients
1479
will just fail to open stacked branches, the same as if we used a new
1480
format flag. (John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
1482
* Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two revisions
1483
introduce the exact same line. See ``bzrlib.annotate._break_annotation_tie``
1484
Be aware though that this is temporary, private (as indicated by the leading
1485
'_') and a first step to address the problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #348459)
1487
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
1488
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
1491
* ``bzr send`` will now check the ``child_submit_format`` setting in
1492
the submit branch to determine what format to use, if none was
1493
specified on the command-line. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1498
* -Dhpss output now includes the number of VFS calls made to the remote
1499
server. (Jonathan Lange)
1501
* ``--coverage`` works for code running in threads too.
1502
(Andrew Bennets, Vincent Ladeuil)
1504
* ``bzr pull`` now has a ``--local`` option to only make changes to the
1505
local branch, and not the bound master branch.
1506
(Gary van der Merwe, #194716)
1508
* ``bzr rm *`` is now as fast as ``bzr rm * --keep``. (Johan Walles, #180116)
1513
* Adding now works properly when path contains a symbolic link.
1514
(Geoff Bache, #183831)
1516
* An error is now raised for unknown eol values. (Brian de Alwis, #358199)
1518
* ``bzr merge --weave`` will now generate a conflict if one side deletes a
1519
line, and the other side modifies the line. (John Arbash Meinel, #328171)
1521
* ``bzr reconfigure --standalone`` no longer raises IncompatibleRepositories.
1522
(Martin von Gagern, #248932)
1524
* ``bzr send`` works to send emails again using MAPI.
1525
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #346998)
1527
* Check for missing parent inventories in StreamSink. This prevents
1528
incomplete stacked branches being created by 1.13 bzr:// and
1529
bzr+ssh:// clients (which have bug #354036). Instead, the server now
1530
causes those clients to send the missing records. (Andrew Bennetts)
1532
* Correctly handle http servers proposing multiple authentication schemes.
1533
(Vincent Ladeuil, #366107)
1535
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
1536
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
1538
* Fix a bug in the pure-python ``GroupCompress`` code when handling copies
1539
longer than 64KiB. (John Arbash Meinel, #364900)
1541
* Fix TypeError in running ``bzr break-lock`` on some URLs.
1542
(Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #365891)
1544
* Non-recursive ``bzr ls`` now works properly when a path is specified.
1545
(Jelmer Vernooij, #357863)
1547
* ssh usernames (defined in ~/.ssh/config) are honoured for bzr+ssh connections.
1548
(Vincent Ladeuil, #367726)
1550
* Several bugs related to unicode symlinks have been fixed and the test suite
1551
enhanced to better catch regressions for them. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1553
* The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming
1554
content with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search: it assumes
1555
that the client will make sure it is happy with what it got, and this
1556
sort of mismatch is normal for stacked environments.
1557
bzr 1.13.0/1 will stream from unstacked branches only - in that case not
1558
getting all the content expected would be a bug. However the graph
1559
search is how we figured out what we wanted, so a mismatch is both odd
1560
and unrecoverable without starting over, and starting over will end up
1561
with the same data as if we just permitted the mismatch. If data is
1562
gc'd, doing a new search will find only the truncated data, so sending
1563
only the truncated data seems reasonable. bzr versions newer than this
1564
will stream from stacked branches and check the stream to find missing
1565
content in the stacked-on branch, and thus will handle the situation
1566
implicitly. (Robert Collins, #360791)
1568
* Upgrading to, or fetching into a 'rich-root' format will now correctly
1569
set the root data the same way that reconcile does.
1570
(Robert Collins, #368921)
1572
* Using unicode Windows API to obtain command-line arguments.
1573
(Alexander Belchenko, #375934)
1581
* ``InterPackRepo.fetch`` and ``RepoFetcher`` now raise ``NoSuchRevision``
1582
instead of ``InstallFailed`` when they detect a missing revision.
1583
``InstallFailed`` itself has been deleted. (Jonathan Lange)
1585
* Not passing arguments to ``bzrlib.commands.main()`` will now grab the
1586
arguments from ``osutils.get_unicode_argv()`` which has proper support
1587
for unicode arguments on windows. Further, the supplied arguments are now
1588
required to be unicode strings, rather than user_encoded strings.
1589
(Alexander Belchenko)
1594
* ``bzrlib.branch.Branch.set_parent`` is now present on the base branch
1595
class and will call ``_set_parent_location`` after doing unicode
1596
encoding. (Robert Collins)
1598
* ``bzrlib.remote.RemoteBranch._set_parent_location`` will use a new verb
1599
``Branch.set_parent_location`` removing further VFS operations.
1602
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir._get_config`` now returns a ``TransportConfig``
1603
or similar when the dir supports configuration settings. The base class
1604
defaults to None. There is a matching new server verb
1605
``BzrDir.get-config_file`` to reduce roundtrips for getting BzrDir
1606
configuration. (Robert Collins)
1608
* ``bzrlib.tests.ExtendedTestResult`` has new methods ``startTests``
1609
called before the first test is started, ``done`` called after the last
1610
test completes, and a new parameter ``strict``. (Robert Collins)
1612
* ``-Dhpss`` when passed to bzr will cause a backtrace to be printed when
1613
VFS operations are started on a smart server repository. This should not
1614
occur on regular push and pull operations, and is a key indicator for
1615
performance regressions. (Robert Collins)
1617
* ``-Dlock`` when passed to the selftest (e.g. ``bzr -Dlock selftest``) will
1618
cause mismatched physical locks to cause test errors rather than just
1619
reporting to the screen. (Robert Collins)
1621
* -Dprogress will cause pdb to start up if a progress view jumps
1622
backwards. (Robert Collins)
1624
* Fallback ``CredentialStore`` instances registered with ``fallback=True``
1625
are now be able to provide credentials if obtaining credentials
1626
via ~/.bazaar/authentication.conf fails. (Jelmer Vernooij,
1627
Vincent Ladeuil, #321918)
1629
* New hook ``Lock.lock_broken`` which runs when a lock is
1630
broken. This is mainly for testing that lock/unlock are
1631
balanced in tests. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1633
* New MergeDirective hook 'merge_request_body' allows hooks to supply or
1634
alter a body for the message produced by ``bzr send``.
1636
* New smart server verb ``BzrDir.initialize_ex`` which implements a
1637
refactoring to the core of clone allowing less round trips on new
1638
branches. (Robert Collins)
1640
* New method ``Tags.rename_revisions`` that can rename revision ids tags
1641
are pointing at. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1643
* Updated the bundled ``ConfigObj`` library to 4.6.0 (Matt Nordhoff)
1648
* ``bzr selftest`` will now fail if lock/unlock are not correctly balanced in
1649
tests. Using ``-Dlock`` will turn the related failures into warnings.

revision, use ``bzr log -n0 -rX``. To see every merged revision,
1716
use ``bzr log -n0``. (Ian Clatworthy)
1721
* New formats ``1.14`` and ``1.14-rich-root`` supporting End-Of-Line
1722
(EOL) conversions, keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin)
1723
and generic content filtering. These formats replace the experimental
1724
``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root`` formats
1725
respectively, but have support for filtered views disabled.
1728
* New ``mv --auto`` option recognizes renames after they occur.
1731
* ``bzr`` can now get passwords from stdin without requiring a controlling
1732
terminal (i.e. by redirecting stdin). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1734
* ``bzr log`` now supports filtering of multiple files and directories
1735
and will show changes that touch any of them. Furthermore,
1736
directory filtering now shows the changes to any children of that
1737
directory, not just the directory object itself.
1738
(Ian Clatworthy, #97715)
1740
* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the
1741
shelf, via the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
1743
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
1746
* ``bzr xxx --usage`` where xxx is a command now shows a usage
1747
message and the options without the descriptive help sections
1748
(like Description and Examples). A message is also given
1749
explaining how to see the complete help, i.e. ``bzr help xxx``.
1752
* Content filters can now be used to provide custom conversion
1753
between the canonical format of content (i.e. as stored) and
1754
the convenience format of content (i.e. as created in working
1755
trees). See ``bzr help content-filters`` for further details.
1756
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
1758
* End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting
1759
content filtering. See ``bzr help eol`` for details.
1762
* Newly-blessed `join` command allows combining two trees into one.
1768
* A new format name alias ``default-rich-root`` has been added and
1769
points at the closest relative of the default format that supports
1770
rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
1772
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
1773
the data when the target repository does not need topological
1774
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
1775
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
1776
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1778
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
1779
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
1782
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
1783
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
1784
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
1786
* ``bzr log`` now has ``--include-merges`` as an alias for ``--levels 0``.
1789
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
1792
* IPv6 literals are accepted in URLs.
1793
(stlman, Martin Pool, Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
1795
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
1796
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
1798
* Prompt for user names if they are not in the configuration.
1799
(Jelmer Vernooij, #256612)
1801
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server
1802
now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
1805
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
1806
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
1807
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1809
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
1810
to "Ignoring files outside view. View is .." to reduce confusion
1811
about what was being considered and what was being ignored.
1814
* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
1815
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
1816
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
1817
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
1819
* The ``brisbane-core`` project has delivered its beta format
1820
``development6-rich-root``. This format is suitable for judicious
1821
testing by early adopters. In particular if you are benchmarking bzr
1822
performance please be sure to test using this format. At this stage
1823
more information is best obtained by contacting the Bazaar mailing list
1824
or IRC channel if you are interested in using this format. We will make
1825
end user documentation available closer to blessing the format as
1826
production ready. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Ian Clatworthy,
1827
Vincent Ladeuil, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1829
* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!
1835
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
1836
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
1837
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
1838
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
1839
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
1840
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
1841
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1843
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
1844
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
1846
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
1847
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
1848
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
1849
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
1851
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log
1852
-m``. (Anne Mohsen, Martin Pool)
1854
* ``bzr split`` now says "See also: join" (Aaron Bentley, #335015)
1856
* ``bzr version-info`` now works in empty branches. (Jelmer Vernooij,
1859
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
1860
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
1861
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
1863
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
1864
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
1866
* Fix 'make check-dist-tarball' failure by converting paths to unicode when
1867
needed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355454)
1869
* Fixed "Specified file 'x/y/z' is outside current view: " occurring
1870
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
1871
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
1873
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
1874
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
1875
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
1876
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1878
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
1880
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
1881
(Vincent Ladeuil, #346593)
1883
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
1884
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
1885
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
1886
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
1887
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
1889
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
1890
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
1891
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
1892
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
1893
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
1894
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
1895
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1897
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX. Several minor issues (mostly
1898
test related) have been fixed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355273).
1900
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
1901
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
1904
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
1905
(James Westby, #341558)
1907
* The help for the ``info`` command has been corrected.
1908
(Ian Clatworthy, #351931)
1910
* Upgrade will now use a sensible default format if the source repository
1911
uses rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #252908)
1916
* Expanded the index of the developer documentation. (Eric Siegerman)
1918
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
1920
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.
1921
(James Westby, #336998)
1926
* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous versions of bzr are now removed.
1929
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
1930
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
1933
* New abstract ``UIFactory`` method ``get_username`` which will be called to
1934
obtain the username to use when connecting to remote machines.
1937
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
1938
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
1939
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
1941
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
1942
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
1943
Meinel, Robert Collins)
1945
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
1946
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
1947
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
1948
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
1951
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
1952
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
1955
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
1958
* The ``Serializer`` class and the serializer ``format registry`` have moved
1959
from ``bzrlib.xml_serializer`` to ``bzrlib.serializer``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1961
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
1962
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
1963
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
1964
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1966
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
1967
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
1968
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
1973
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
1974
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
1975
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
1976
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
1977
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1979
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
1980
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
1982
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
1983
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
1984
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
1985
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
1991
* Added ``chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string maps.
1992
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1994
* Added ``bzrlib.chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string
1995
maps. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1997
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
1998
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
1999
streaming on the the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2001
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
2002
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
2003
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
2004
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2006
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
2007
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
2008
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
2009
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2011
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
2012
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
2013
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2015
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
2016
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
2017
dependency. (Robert Collins)
2019
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
2020
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
2021
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2023
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
2024
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
2027
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
2028
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
2029
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
2031
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
2032
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2034
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
2035
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
2036
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2038
* New hook ``RioVersionInfoBuilder.revision``, allowing extra entries
2039
to be added to the stanza that is printed for a particular revision.
2042
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
2043
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
2044
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2046
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
2047
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
2048
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
2049
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
2050
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
2052
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
2053
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
2054
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
2055
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2057
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
2058
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
2059
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
2060
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2062
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
2063
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
2064
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2066
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
2067
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
2070
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
2071
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
2072
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
2074
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
2075
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
2076
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
2077
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
2078
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
2080
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
2081
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only linux
2082
machine work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,
2085
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
2086
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
2087
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
2088
desired. (Robert Collins)
2090
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include
2091
information about ghosts when the special revision ``include-missing:``
2092
is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
2093
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2095
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
2096
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
2097
regardless of ``InterRepository``.

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

Changes From 1.13.1 to 1.13.2
2114
*****************************
2116
A regression was found in the 1.13.1 release. When bzr 1.13.1 and earlier push
2117
a stacked branch they do not take care to push all the parent inventories for
2118
the transferred revisions. This means that a smart server serving that branch
2119
often cannot calculate inventory deltas for the branch (because smart server
2120
does not/cannot open fallback repositories). Prior to 1.13 the server did not
2121
have a verb to stream revisions out of a repository, so that's why this bug has
2127
* Fix for bug 354036 ErrorFromSmartServer - AbsentContentFactory object has no
2128
attribute 'get_bytes_as' exception while pulling from Launchpad
2129
(Jean-Francois Roy, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2131
Changes From 1.13final to 1.13.1
2132
********************************
2134
A couple regessions where found in the 1.13 release. The pyrex-generated C
2135
extensions are missing from the .tar.gz and .zip files. Documentation on how
2136
to generate GNU ChangeLogs is wrong.
2141
* Change ``./bzr``'s ``_script_version`` to match ./bzrlib/__init__.py
2142
version_info. (Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, #345232)
2144
* Distribution archives for 1.13 do not contain generated C extension modules
2145
(Jean-Francois Roy, Bob Tanner, #344465)
2147
* GNU ChangeLog output can now be produced by bzr log --format gnu-changelog is
2148
incorrect (Deejay, Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #343928)
2150
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
2152
Changes From 1.13rc1 to 1.13final
2153
*********************************
2155
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
2156
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
2157
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
2159
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
2160
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
2162
Compatibility Breaks
2163
********************
2165
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
2166
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
2167
command may need to be adjusted.
2168
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2173
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
2174
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
2175
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
2177
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
2180
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
2181
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
2182
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
2185
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
2186
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
2188
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
2189
(John Arbash Meinel)
2191
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
2192
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
2194
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernoij)
2196
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
2197
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
2200
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
2206
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
2207
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
2208
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
2209
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
2210
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
2211
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
2212
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
2213
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
2216
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
2217
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
2219
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
2220
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
2221
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
2223
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
2224
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
2226
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
2227
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
2228
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
2231
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
2232
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
2233
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2235
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
2236
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
2237
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
2238
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
2240
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
2243
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
2244
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
2246
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
2247
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
2249
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
2250
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
2251
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
2253
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
2258
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
2259
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)

* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
2262
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
2263
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
2265
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
2266
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
2267
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
2269
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
2270
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
2272
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
2273
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
2276
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
2277
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
2278
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
2280
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
2281
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
2283
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
2284
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
2286
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
2287
(James Westby, #174539)
2289
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
2290
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
2292
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
2293
error branching from old repositories.
2294
(Martin Pool, #321695)
2296
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
2297
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
2299
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
2300
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
2301
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
2302
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2304
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
2305
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko,
2308
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
2309
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
2311
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
2312
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
2314
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
2315
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
2316
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2318
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
2319
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
2321
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.
2322
(Benoît Pierre, Aaron Bentley)
2327
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
2328
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
2329
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
2332
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
2333
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
2335
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.
2336
(Daniel Watkins, #327421, #327425)
2341
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
2342
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
2343
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
2344
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
2345
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
2347
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
2348
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2350
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
2351
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
2352
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
2353
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
2354
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
2355
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
2357
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
2358
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
2360
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
2361
"author" argument being deprecated.
2363
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
2365
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
2366
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
2367
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
2368
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
2370
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
2371
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
2372
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
2374
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
2375
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
2376
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
2378
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
2379
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
2381
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
2382
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
2383
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
2384
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
2389
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
2390
free of virtual file system methods.
2391
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2393
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
2394
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
2395
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
2397
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
2398
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
2399
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
2400
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
2401
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
2402
(Robert Collins, #334187)
2404
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
2406
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
2407
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
2409
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
2410
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
2411
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
2412
stream the operation.
2413
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2415
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
2416
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
2418
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
2419
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
2420
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
2421
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
2422
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
2424
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
2425
branch object. (Robert Collins)
2427
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
2428
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
2429
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
2431
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
2432
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
2435
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
2438
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
2439
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
2440
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2442
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
2443
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
2444
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2446
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
2447
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
2448
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2450
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
2451
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
2452
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2454
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
2455
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
2456
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
2457
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
2458
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
2460
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
2461
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
2462
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
2463
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
2464
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
2465
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
2467
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
2468
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
2469
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
2470
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
2471
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2473
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
2474
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2476
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
2477
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
2479
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
2480
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
2481
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
2482
to access private data in record to obtain content more
2483
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
2485
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
2486
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.
2493
:Codename: 1234567890
2495
:1.12rc1: 2009-02-10
2497
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
2498
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
2499
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
2500
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
2501
by showing the rate of network IO.
2503
Changes from RC1 to Final
2504
*************************
2506
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
2507
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
2509
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
2510
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
2512
Compatibility Breaks
2513
********************
2515
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
2516
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
2517
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
2518
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
2520
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
2521
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
2522
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
2525
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
2526
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
2527
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
2528
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2530
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
2531
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
2532
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
2535
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2540
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
2541
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
2542
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
2545
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
2546
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
2547
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
2549
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
2550
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
2551
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
2552
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
2553
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
2554
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
2555
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
2556
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
2557
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
2563
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
2566
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
2569
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
2570
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
2571
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
2573
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
2574
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
2575
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
2576
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
2577
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
2579
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
2580
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
2582
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
2583
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
2584
level for better precision.
2587
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
2588
rules. (Marius Kruger)
2590
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
2591
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
2592
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
2594
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
2595
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
2596
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
2599
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
2600
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
2601
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
2606
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
2608
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
2610
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
2611
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
2612
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
2614
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
2615
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
2616
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
2617
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
2618
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
2619
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
2621
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
2622
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
2624
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
2625
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
2627
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
2628
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
2629
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
2631
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
2632
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
2633
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
2636
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
2637
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
2639
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
2640
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
2641
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
2642
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
2644
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
2645
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
2647
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
2649
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)
2654
* Improved plugin developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
2659
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
2660
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
2663
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
2664
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2666
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
2667
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2669
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
2670
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2672
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
2673
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
2674
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
2675
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
2677
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
2678
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
2679
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
2684
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
2685
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
2686
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
2687
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
2688
compile buffers, are such an example).
2691
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
2692
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
2695
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
2696
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
2697
efficient way of doing the mapping.
2700
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
2701
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
2703
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
2704
formatters to retrict the output.
2711
:Codename: "Eyes up!"
2712
:Released: 2009-01-19
2714
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
2715
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
2716
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
2717
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
2718
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
2720
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
2721
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
2724
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
2725
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.
2730
* Fix failing test when CompiledChunksToLines is not available.
2733
* Stacked branches don't repeatedly open their transport connection.
2734
(John Arbash Meinel)
2741
:Codename: "Eyes up!"
2742
:Released: 2009-01-09
2747
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
2748
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2753
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
2754
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
2756
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
2757
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
2758
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
2759
implement other plugins.
2762
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
2768
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
2769
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
2771
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
2772
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
2774
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
2775
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
2776
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
2777
processes which drag in shell extensions.
2780
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
2781
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
2782
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
2783
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
2784
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
2786
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
2787
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
2788
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
2789
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
2790
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
2795
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
2796
control directory. (#139691)
2798
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
2799
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
2801
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
2802
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
2804
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
2805
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
2806
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
2808
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
2809
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
2811
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
2812
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
2813
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
2815
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
2816
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
2818
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
2821
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
2822
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
2823
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
2825
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
2826
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
2828
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
2829
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
2830
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
2832
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
2833
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
2834
in the appropriate sections.
2835
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
2837
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
2838
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
2839
(John Arbash meinel)
2841
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
2842
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
2844
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
2845
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
2847
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
2848
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
2850
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
2851
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
2852
work better with how it splits its requests.
2853
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
2855
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
2856
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
2857
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
2859
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
2862
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
2864
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
2865
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
2867
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
2873
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
2874
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
2875
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
2881
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
2882
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
2883
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
2884
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2886
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
2887
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
2889
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
2890
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
2891
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
2892
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
2894
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
2895
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
2896
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
2897
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
2902
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
2903
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
2904
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
2906
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
2907
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
2908
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
2909
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
2911
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
2912
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
2913
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
2919
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
2920
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
2921
(John Arbash Meinel)
2923
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
2924
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
2925
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
2926
(John Arbash Meinel)
2928
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
2929
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
2930
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
2931
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
2933
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
2934
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
2935
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
2937
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
2938
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
2939
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
2940
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
2942
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
2943
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
2944
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
2945
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
2946
(John Arbash Meinel)
2948
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
2949
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
2951
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
2952
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
2953
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
2955
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
2956
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
2957
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
2958
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
2960
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
2961
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
2962
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
2963
(John Arbash Meinel)
2965
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
2966
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
2967
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
2968
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
2969
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
2970
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
2971
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
2973
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
2974
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)
2981
:Released: 2008-12-05
2983
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
2984
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
2985
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
2986
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
2989
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
2994
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
2995
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
2996
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
2997
(Martin Pool, #303856)
2999
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
3000
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
3001
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
3002
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
3003
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)
3009
:Released: 2008-11-28
3011
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
3012
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
3013
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
3014
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
3015
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
3020
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
3021
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3023
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
3029
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
3030
history just to set the last revision info.
3031
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3033
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
3034
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
3035
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
3036
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3038
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
3039
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
3040
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
3041
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
3042
(John Arbash Meinel)
3044
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
3045
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3047
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
3048
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
3049
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
3050
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
3051
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
3053
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
3054
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
3055
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
3056
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
3061
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
3062
(Martin Pool, #289148)
3064
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
3065
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
3067
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
3068
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
3069
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
3070
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
3072
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
3073
starting with a dotted revno.
3074
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
3076
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
3077
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
3078
(Martin Pool, #288751)
3080
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
3081
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
3082
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
3084
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
3085
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
3086
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
3088
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
3089
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
3090
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
3091
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
3093
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
3094
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
3095
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
3097
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
3098
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
3103
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
3104
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
3105
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
3106
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
3108
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
3109
have changed incompatibly.
3111
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
3112
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
3113
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
3114
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
3115
don't need to change.
3117
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
3118
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
3123
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
3124
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
3126
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
3132
:Released: 2008-11-07
3134
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
3135
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
3136
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
3137
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
3138
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
3139
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
3144
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
3145
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
3147
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
3149
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
3150
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.
3151
(John Arbash Meinel, #293746)
3157
:Released: 2008-10-31
3162
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
3163
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
3165
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
3166
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
3167
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
3168
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
3173
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
3174
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
3175
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
3176
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
3177
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
3178
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
3180
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
3181
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
3183
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
3184
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
3185
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
3187
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
3188
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
3189
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
3192
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
3193
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
3195
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
3196
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
3198
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
3199
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
3201
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
3202
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
3203
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
3204
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
3205
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
3206
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
3207
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
3208
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
3209
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
3210
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
3215
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
3216
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
3218
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
3219
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
3221
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
3222
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
3223
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
3225
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
3226
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
3227
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
3229
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
3230
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
3231
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
3233
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
3234
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
3235
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
3236
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
3237
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
3238
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
3240
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
3241
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
3243
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
3244
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
3246
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
3247
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
3248
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
3249
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
3250
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
3252
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
3253
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
3254
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
3255
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
3260
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
3265
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
3270
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
3271
configuration of authetication credentials.
3277
:Released: 2008-10-16
3279
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
3280
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
3281
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
3282
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
3283
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
3288
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
3289
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
3294
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
3295
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
3301
:Released: 2008-10-07
3306
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
3307
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
3308
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
3309
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
3310
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
3312
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
3313
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
3315
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
3316
server. (Marius Kruger)
3318
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
3319
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
3320
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
3321
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
3322
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
3323
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
3328
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
3329
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
3330
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
3332
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
3337
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
3338
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
3339
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
3340
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
3342
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
3343
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
3346
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
3347
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
3350
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
3353
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
3355
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
3356
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
3358
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
3359
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
3361
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
3362
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
3363
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
3364
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
3365
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
3366
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
3367
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
3368
operations. (Robert Collins)
3370
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
3372
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
3373
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
3374
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
3379
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
3380
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
3381
(Martin Pool, #279381)
3383
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
3384
repository now preserves the repository format.
3385
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
3387
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
3388
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
3390
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
3391
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
3393
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
3395
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
3397
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
3400
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
3401
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
3402
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
3404
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
3405
is in a different repository than the current one.
3406
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
3408
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
3409
(David Futcher, #242106)
3411
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
3412
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3414
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
3415
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
3416
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
3417
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
3419
* Trivial documentation fix.
3420
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
3422
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
3423
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
3424
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
3425
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
3430
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
3435
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
3436
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
3437
to use. (Robert Collins)
3439
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
3440
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
3441
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
3443
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
3444
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
3445
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
3446
they want. (Robert Collins)
3451
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
3452
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
3453
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
3455
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
3456
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
3459
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
3462
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
3463
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
3465
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
3471
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
3472
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
3474
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
3475
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
3476
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
3478
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
3479
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
3480
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
3482
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
3483
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3485
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
3486
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
3488
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
3489
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
3491
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
3492
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
3493
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
3494
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept
3502

3504
No changes from 1.7.1rc1.
3510
:Released: 2008-09-24
3512
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
3513
file paths when we encounter complex history.
3518
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
3519
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
3520
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
3521
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.
3522
(John Arbash Meinel)
3528
:Released: 2008-09-23
3530
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
3531
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
3532
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
3533
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
3534
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
3535
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.
3540
* Some small updates to the win32 installer. Include localization
3541
files found in plugins, and include the builtin distutils as part of
3542
packaging qbzr. (Mark Hammond)
3548
:Released: 2008-09-17
3550
A few bug fixes from 1.7rc1. The biggest change is a new
3551
``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
3552
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
3553
connect to the stacked-on location.
3558
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
3559
repository now preserves the repository format.
3560
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
3562
* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect
3563
to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
3565
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
3568
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
3575
:Released: 2008-09-09
3577
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
3578
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
3579
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
3580
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
3581
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
3582
it in a future repository format.
3588
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
3591
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
3592
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
3593
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
3595
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
3596
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
3597
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
3602
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
3603
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
3605
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
3610
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
3611
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
3614
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
3615
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
3617
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
3618
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
3621
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
3622
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
3623
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
3624
(John Arbash Meinel)
3626
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
3627
(Martin Pool, #261315)
3629
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
3630
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
3631
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
3632
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
3633
(John Arbash Meinel)
3635
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
3636
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
3637
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
3638
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
3639
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
3640
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
3641
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
3642
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
3643
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
3644
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
3649
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
3650
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
3652
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
3653
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
3654
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
3656
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
3657
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
3658
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
3660
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
3661
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
3662
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
3663
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
3664
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
3665
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
3667
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
3668
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
3670
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
3671
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
3673
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
3674
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
3675
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
3676
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
3677
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
3678
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
3680
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
3681
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
3683
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
3684
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
3686
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
3687
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
3688
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
3689
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
3691
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
3692
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
3694
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
3695
assuming the host name is ascii.
3696
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
3698
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
3699
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
3704
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
3709
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
3711
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
3712
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
3713
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
3716
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
3717
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3719
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
3720
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
3722
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
3723
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
3728
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
3729
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
3730
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
3731
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
3733
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
3737
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
3738
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
3739
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3741
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
3747
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
3748
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
3751
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
3752
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
3753
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
3754
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
3755
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3757
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
3758
is unknown in both source and target.
3759
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
3761
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
3762
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
3763
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
3764
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
3766
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
3767
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
3768
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
3769
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

3777
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
3778
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
3779
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
3785
:Released: 2008-09-03
3790
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
3791
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
3792
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
3793
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
3799
:Released: 2008-08-29
3801
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
3802
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
3803
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
3804
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
3805
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
3806
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
3807
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
3808
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
3809
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
3810
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
3811
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
3812
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
3817
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
3818
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
3819
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
3820
start of the string (causing more copies).
3821
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
3822
especially for projects with large files.
3823
(John Arbash Meinel)
3825
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
3826
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
3827
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
3828
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
3829
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
3831
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
3832
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
3833
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
3834
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
3835
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.

:Released: 2008-08-25
3844
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
3845
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
3846
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
3847
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
3848
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
3849
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
3850
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
3851
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
3852
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
3858
:Released: 2008-08-19
3863
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
3864
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
3865
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
3866
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
3867
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
3873
:Released: 2008-08-18
3878
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
3879
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
3880
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
3886
:Released: 2008-08-14
3891
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
3892
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
3898
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
3899
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
3900
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
3906
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
3907
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
3908
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
3910
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
3911
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
3912
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
3913
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
3914
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
3915
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
3916
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
3922
:Released: 2008-08-13
3924
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
3930
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
3931
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
3933
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
3934
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
3937
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
3938
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
3939
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
3940
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
3941
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
3943
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
3944
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3946
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
3947
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
3949
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
3950
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
3952
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
3953
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
3954
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
3955
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
3956
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
3957
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
3963
:Released: 2008-08-06
3965
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
3966
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
3967
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
3968
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
3969
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
3974
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
3975
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
3976
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
3981
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
3982
check. (Daniel Watkins)
3984
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
3985
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
3987
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
3988
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
3989
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3991
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
3994
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
3995
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
3996
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
3997
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
3998
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
3999
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
4000
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
4002
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
4003
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
4004
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
4009
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
4010
physical repository boundaries.
4011
(Martin Pool, #252428)
4013
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
4014
(Martin Pool, #206258)
4016
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
4017
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
4020
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
4023
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
4024
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
4025
that Python is running from.
4026
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
4028
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
4029
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.

* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
4033
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
4035
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
4036
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
4037
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
4039
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
4040
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
4042
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
4043
(James Westby, #248448)
4048
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
4049
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
4050
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
4053
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
4054
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
4057
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
4058
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
4059
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
4060
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
4061
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
4062
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
4065
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
4066
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
4068
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
4069
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
4070
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
4071
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
4072
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
4073
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
4078
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
4079
putting together a real history without having to create a full
4080
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
4081
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
4082
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
4083
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4085
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
4086
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
4087
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
4089
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
4092
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
4093
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
4095
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
4102
:Released: 2008-07-17
4104
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
4105
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
4106
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
4107
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
4113
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
4114
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
4115
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
4117
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
4118
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
4119
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
4120
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
4121
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
4124
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
4126
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
4127
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
4128
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
4134
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
4135
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
4138
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
4139
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
4140
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
4141
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
4143
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
4144
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
4145
(Christophe Troestler)
4147
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
4148
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
4150
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
4151
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
4152
faster. The new request method name is
4153
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
4158
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
4159
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
4160
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
4161
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
4162
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
4164
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
4165
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
4167
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
4168
requires a branch to be present.
4169
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
4171
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
4173
(Martin Pool, #205230)
4175
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
4176
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
4177
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
4178
(Martin Pool, #240161)
4180
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
4181
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
4183
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
4185
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
4187
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
4188
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
4189
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
4190
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
4191
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
4193
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
4194
(Martin Pool, #172870)
4196
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
4197
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
4199
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
4201
(Matt McClure, #209281)
4203
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
4204
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
4206
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
4207
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
4212
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
4215
* Updated developer documentation.
4221
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
4222
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
4224
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
4225
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
4226
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
4227
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
4232
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
4233
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
4234
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
4235
Repository docstring for more details.
4238
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
4239
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
4240
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
4242
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
4243
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
4246
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
4247
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
4248
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
4249
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
4254
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
4255
(Alexander Belchenko)
4257
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
4258
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
4259
containing a given location.
4262
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
4263
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
4264
storage. (Robert Collins)
4266
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
4269
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
4270
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
4277
:Released: 2008-06-10
4279
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
4280
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
4281
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
4287
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
4288
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
4289
reading from the repository.)
4290
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
4292
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
4293
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
4295
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
4296
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
4299
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
4300
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
4301
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
4303
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
4304
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
4305
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
4307
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
4308
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
4310
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
4311
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
4312
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
4313
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
4318
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
4320
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
4321
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
4322
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
4325
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
4326
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
4331
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
4336
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
4337
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
4342
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
4343
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
4344
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
4345
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
4346
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
4348
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
4349
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
4354
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
4355
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
4357
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
4358
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
4363
:Released: 2008-06-02
4365
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
4366
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
4367
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
4368
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
4369
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
4370
and future extensions.
4373
Notes When Upgrading
4374
********************
4376
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
4377
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
4378
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
4379
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
4380
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
4381
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
4382
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
4383
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
4388
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
4389
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
4390
(John Arbash Meinel)
4395
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
4396
load. (James Westby)
4401
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
4402
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
4403
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
4404
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
4406
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
4407
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
4408
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
4410
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
4411
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
4413
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
4414
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
4415
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
4417
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
4418
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
4419
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
4420
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
4421
step closer to not using full revision history.
4422
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
4427
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
4428
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
4430
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
4431
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
4433
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
4434
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
4436
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
4437
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
4438
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
4439
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
4441
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
4442
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
4443
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
4444
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
4446
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
4447
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
4448
in use by another process.
4451
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
4452
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
4453
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
4454
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
4456
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
4457
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
4459
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
4460
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
4461
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
4463
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
4464
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
4465
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
4467
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
4469
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
4471
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
4472
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
4474
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
4475
under vim on Mac OS X.
4476
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
4478
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
4479
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
4484
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
4485
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
4487
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
4488
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
4491
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
4492
and about use of Python reprs.
4493
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
4495
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
4500
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
4503
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
4504
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
4506
* New helper function for splitting test suites
4507
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
4512
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
4513
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
4514
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
4515
(John Arbash Meinel)
4520
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
4521
instead. (Martin Pool)
4523
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
4524
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
4525
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
4526
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
4528
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
4529
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
4530
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
4531
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
4532
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
4534
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
4535
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
4536
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
4537
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
4538
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
4539
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
4541
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
4542
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
4545
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
4546
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
4549
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
4550
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
4551
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
4552
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
4554
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
4555
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
4556
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
4558
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
4559
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
4560
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
4561
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
4562
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
4565
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
4566
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
4567
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
4568
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
4571
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
4572
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
4573
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
4574
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
4575
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
4577
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
4584
:Released: 2008-05-16
4586
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
4587
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
4588
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
4593
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
4594
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
4595
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
4600
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
4601
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
4608
:Released: 2008-05-09
4613
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
4614
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
4615
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
4616
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
4621
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
4622
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
4624
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
4625
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
4627
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
4633
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
4634
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
4636
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
4637
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
4639
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
4640
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
4641
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
4643
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
4644
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
4645
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
4647
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
4650
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
4651
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
4653
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
4654
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
4656
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
4657
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
4659
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
4660
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
4662
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
4663
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
4664
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
4666
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
4667
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
4669
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
4670
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
4672
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
4673
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
4674
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
4675
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
4677
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
4678
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
4681
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
4682
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
4683
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
4685
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
4686
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
4687
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
4688
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
4689
every revision each side had in common.
4690
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4692
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
4693
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
4695
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
4696
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
4697
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
4698
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
4703
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
4704
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
4705
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
4706
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
4708
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
4710
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
4712
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
4713
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
4718
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
4719
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
4720
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
4722
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
4723
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
4724
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
4725
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
4727
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
4728
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4730
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
4731
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
4732
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
4733
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4735
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
4736
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
4737
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
4738
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4743
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
4744
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
4745
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
4747
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
4749
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
4750
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
4752
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
4753
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4755
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
4756
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
4761
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
4762
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
4763
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
4765
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
4766
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
4767
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
4770
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
4771
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
4774
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.

:Released: 2008-04-28
4783
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
4784
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
4785
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
4786
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
4787
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
4788
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
4789
and faster performance.
4794
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
4795
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
4796
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

4808
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
4809
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
4810
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
4812
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
4813
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
4815
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
4816
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
4818
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
4819
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
4820
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
4821

(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4829
:Released: 2008-04-11
4834
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
4836
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
4837
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
4839
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
4840
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
4841
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
4843
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
4844
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
4845
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
4846
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
4847
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
4848
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
4851
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
4852
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
4853
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
4854
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
4859
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
4861
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
4862
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
4863
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
4865
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
4866
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
4867
See the User Reference for signature details.
4868
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
4870
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
4871
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
4876
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
4877
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
4878
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
4879
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
4881
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
4882
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
4884
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
4885
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
4886
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
4889
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
4892
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
4893
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
4894
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
4896
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
4899
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
4900
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
4902
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
4903
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
4905
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
4906
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
4907
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
4909
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
4910
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
4911
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
4912
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
4913
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
4915
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
4916
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
4918
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
4919
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
4924
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
4925
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
4926
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
4927
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
4928
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
4929
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
4931
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
4932
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
4934
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
4935
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
4936
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
4938
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
4939
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
4941
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
4942
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
4943
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
4944
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4946
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
4947
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
4948
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
4949
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
4950
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
4952
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
4954
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
4955
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
4957
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
4959
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
4960
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
4962
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
4963
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
4968
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
4970
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
4972
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
4974
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
4979
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
4980
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
4981
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
4983
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
4984
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
4985
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
4986
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
4988
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
4989
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
4990
release. (James Westby)
4992
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
4995
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
4997
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
4998
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
5000
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
5001
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
5003
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
5004
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
5006
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
5007
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
5008
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
5010
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
5011
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
5012
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
5013
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
5015
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
5016
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
5017
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
5018
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
5020
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
5021
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
5022
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
5023
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
5024
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
5025
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
5027
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
5028
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
5029
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
5031
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
5032
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
5034
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
5035
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
5038
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
5039
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
5041
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
5042
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
5044
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
5045
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
5047
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
5048
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
5049
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
5051
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
5052
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
5053
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
5054
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
5055
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
5056
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
5061
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
5062
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
5063
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
5064
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
5066
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
5067
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
5068
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
5069
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
5073
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
5074
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
5077
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
5078
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
5080
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
5082
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
5083
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
5084
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
5089
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
5091
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
5094
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
5095
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
5096
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
5097
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
5098
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
5099
(Martin Pool, #109520)
5101
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
5102
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
5104
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
5105
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
5106
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
5107
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
5109
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
5110
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
5112
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
5113
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
5163
********************
5165
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
5166
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
5171
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
5172
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
5173
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
5174
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
5177
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
5178
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
5179
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
5180
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
5181
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
5182
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
5184
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
5185
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
5186
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
5187
(Alexander Belchenko)
5189
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
5191
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
5192
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
5197
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
5198
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
5200
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
5201
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
5207
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
5209
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
5211
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
5212
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
5213
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
5215
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
5216
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
5218
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
5219
to. (Daniel Watkins)
5221
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
5222
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
5223
(Alexander Belchenko)
5225
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
5226
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
5227
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
5228
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
5230
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
5233
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
5234
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
5235
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
5236
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
5237
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
5242
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
5243
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
5244
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
5245
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
5247
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
5248
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
5250
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
5251
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
5253
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
5254
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
5255
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
5257
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
5258
(#198793, John Ferlito)
5260
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
5263
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
5264
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
5266
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
5268
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
5270
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
5271
symlinks (James Henstridge)
5273
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
5274
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
5276
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
5277
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
5279
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
5280
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
5282
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
5283
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
5285
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
5286
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
5291
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
5292
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
5297
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
5298
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
5299
(Alexander Belchenko)
5304
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
5306
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
5307
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
5313
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
5314
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
5315
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
5317
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
5318
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
5319
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
5320
(Alexander Belchenko)
5322
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
5323
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
5324
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
5325
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
5327
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
5328
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
5329
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
5332
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
5333
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
5334
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
5336
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
5337
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
5338
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
5340
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
5341
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
5342
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
5343
format. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
5363
********************
5365
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
5366
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
5367
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
5368
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
5369
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
5375
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
5376
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
5378
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
5379
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
5380
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
5382
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
5383
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
5384
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
5385
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
5386
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
5387
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
5393
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
5394
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
5396
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
5397
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
5398
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
5401
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
5402
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
5403
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
5404
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
5405
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
5407
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
5408
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
5409
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
5410
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
5411
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
5412
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
5413
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
5414
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
5419
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
5420
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
5422
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
5423
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
5425
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
5426
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
5428
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
5429
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
5430
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
5432
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
5433
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
5434
(John Arbash Meinel)
5439
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
5440
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
5442
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
5443
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
5445
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
5446
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
5448
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
5449
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
5450
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
5452
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
5453
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
5454
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
5456
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
5457
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
5459
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
5460
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
5461
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
5462
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
5463
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
5465
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
5467
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
5468
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
5471
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
5472
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
5474
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
5475
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
5477
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
5478
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123363)
5480
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
5481
more characters which should be considered valid.
5482
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
5484
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
5485
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
5487
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
5488
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
5493
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
5494
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
5496
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
5497
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
5503
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
5504
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
5510
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
5511
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
5512
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
5514
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
5515
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
5516
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
5518
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
5519
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
5520
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
5521
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
5523
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
5525
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
5526
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
5527
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
5528
server. (Robert Collins)
5530
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
5531
operate. (Robert Collins)
5533
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
5534
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
5535
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
5537
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
5538
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
5539
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
5540
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
5542
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
5543
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
5545
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
5546
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
5547
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
5549
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
5550
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
5552
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
5553
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
5555
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
5556
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
5557
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
5558
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

5571
:Released: 2008-01-05
5576
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
5577
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
5578
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
5579
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
5581
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
5582
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
5583
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
5584
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
5589
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
5592
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
5595
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
5596
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
5601
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
5604
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
5605
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
5606
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
5608
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
5610
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
5611
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
5612
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
5613
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
5614
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
5616
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
5617
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
5618
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
5620
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
5621
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
5623
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
5626
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
5628
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
5630
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
5633
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
5634
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
5639
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
5640
(Martin Pool, #180208)
5642
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
5643
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
5645
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
5648
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
5649
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
5651
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
5652
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
5654
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
5655
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5657
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
5658
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
5660
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
5661
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
5662
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
5664
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
5665
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
5667
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
5668
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
5671
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
5673
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
5674
user:pass embedded in the urls.
5675
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
5677
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
5678
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
5680
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
5683
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
5686
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
5687
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
5689
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
5692
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
5693
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
5696
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
5697
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
5698
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
5703
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
5706
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
5707
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
5708
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
5709
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
5710
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
5711
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
5713
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
5718
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
5721
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
5722
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
5724
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
5726
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
5727
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
5728
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
5731
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
5732
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5734
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
5743
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
5744
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
5745
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
5747
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
5748
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
5751
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
5752
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
5754
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
5755
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
5757
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
5758
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
5760
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
5761
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
5762
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
5764
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
5765
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
5767
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
5768
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
5770
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
5771
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
5774
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
5775
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
5777
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
5778
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

5817
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
5819
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
5820
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
5821
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
5822
feedback but also incur more latency.

5826
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
5831
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
5833
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
5839
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the

the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
5874
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
5876
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
5877
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
5878
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
5879
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
5880
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
5881
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
5882
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
5883
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
5884
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
5889
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
5892
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
5897
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
5898
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
5900
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
5902
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
5904
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
5905
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
5907
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
5909
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
5910
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
5912
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
5913
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
5918
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
5919
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)

Notes When Upgrading
5928
********************
5930
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
5931
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
5932
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
5933
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
5935
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
5936
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
5938
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
5939
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
5941
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
5942
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
5943
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
5944
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
5945
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
5946
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
5947
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
5948
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
5949
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
5950
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
5951
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
5952
from any tree without problems.
5953
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
5958
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
5959
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
5960
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
5962
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
5963
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
5969
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
5970
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
5971
supported transports.
5974
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
5975
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
5976
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
5978
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
5979
(Robert Collins, #154173)
5981
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
5982
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
5983
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
5984
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
5986
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
5987
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
5992
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
5993
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
5994
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
5995
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5997
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
5998
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
5999
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
6000
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
6002
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
6003
(Robert Collins, #88319)
6005
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
6006
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
6008
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
6009
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
6011
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
6012
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
6018
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
6021
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
6022
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
6025
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
6026
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
6027
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
6028
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
6030
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
6031
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
6032
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
6033
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
6041
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
6042
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
6044
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
6045
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
6047
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
6048
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
6050
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
6051
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
6053
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
6054
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
6056
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
6057
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
6059
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
6060
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
6062
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
6065
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
6066
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
6068
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
6069
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
6070
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
6072
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
6073
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
6075
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
6076
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
6078
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
6079
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
6081
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
6082
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
6084
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
6085
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
6086
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
6087
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
6089
(Martin Pool, #164637)
6091
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
6092
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
6093
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
6095
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
6096
(Robert Collins, #161240)
6098
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
6100
(Martin Pool, #164443)
6102
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
6103
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
6105
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
6106
specify a port in urls.
6107
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
6109
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
6110
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
6112
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
6113
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
6115
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
6116
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
6118
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
6119
(Robert Collins, #153789)
6121
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
6122
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
6123
(Robert Collins, #165304).
6125
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
6127
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
6128
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
6130
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
6133
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
6134
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
6136
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
6137
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
6139
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
6140
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
6141
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
6143
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
6144
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
6146
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
6147
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
6148
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
6149
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
6151
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
6152
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
6154
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
6155
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
6156
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
6158
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
6159
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
6161
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
6162
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
6164
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
6165
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
6170
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
6171
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
6173
* The return value of
6174
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
6175
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
6176
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
6177
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
6179
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
6182
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
6183
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
6190
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
6191
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
6192
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
6195
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
6196
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
6198
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
6204
:Released: 2007-11-05
6209
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
6215
:Released: 2007-10-29
6220
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
6221
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
6223
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
6224
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
6225
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
6226
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
6227
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
6228
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
6229
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
6230
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
6231
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
6232
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
6233
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
6234
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
6240
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
6241
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
6242
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
6243
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
6244
commands. (Robert Collins)
6246
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
6247
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
6248
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
6251
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
6253
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
6254
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
6256
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
6257
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
6260
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
6261
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
6262
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
6267
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
6268
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
6270
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
6271
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
6273
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
6274
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
6275
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
6276
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
6278
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
6281
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
6282
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
6283
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
6284
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
6286
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
6287
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
6289
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
6290
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
6292
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
6293
the contents. (Robert Collins)
6295
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
6296
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
6301
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
6302
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
6304
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
6305
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
6307
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
6308
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
6310
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
6311
(Martin Pool, #63894)
6313
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
6314
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
6319
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
6321
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
6327
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
6328
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
6329
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
6331
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
6332
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
6334
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
6335
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
6337
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
6338
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
6339
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
6340
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
6342
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
6343
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
6344
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
6345
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
6346
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
6348
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
6349
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
6351
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
6353
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
6355
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
6356
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
6358
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
6359
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
6361
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
6362
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
6364
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
6365
contains a symbolic link.
6366
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
6368
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
6369
(James Westby, #140615)
6371
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
6372
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
6373
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
6375
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
6376
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
6377
(Martin Pool, #144633)
6379
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
6381
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
6382
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
6384
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
6386
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
6388
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
6389
directory to detect leaking tests.
6390
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
6392
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
6393
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
6394
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
6396
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
6399
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
6400
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
6402
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
6408
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
6409
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
6411
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
6412
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
6413
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
6415
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
6416
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
6417
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
6419
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
6420
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
6422
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
6423
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
6425
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
6426
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
6429
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
6430
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
6432
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
6433
class that needs it.
6436
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
6437
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
6439
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
6440
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
6441
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
6443
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
6444
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
6445
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
6448
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
6449
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
6450
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
6451
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
6457
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
6458
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
6459
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
6461
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
6462
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
6463
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
6464
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
6466
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
6467
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
6470
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
6471
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
6472
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
6474
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
6475
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
6476
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
6478
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
6479
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
6481
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
6482
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
6483
to complete. (Robert Collins)
6485
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
6486
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
6488
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
6489
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
6490
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
6492
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
6493
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
6494
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
6496
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
6497
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
6498
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
6499
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
6501
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
6502
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
6503
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
6504
returned. (Robert Collins)
6506
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
6507
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
6509
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
6510
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
6511
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
6512
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
6515
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
6516
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
6521
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
6522
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
6524
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
6525
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
6526
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
6527
makes this behavior available to other users.
6530
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
6531
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
6537
:Released: 2007-09-26
6542
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
6543
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
6544
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
6546
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
6548
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
6549
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
6550
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
6551
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
6553
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
6554
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
6561
:Released: 2007-09-11
6563
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
6564
in bzrlib/remote.py.
6570
:Released: 2007-09-11
6575
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
6576
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
6577
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
6578
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
6581
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
6582
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
6583
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
6589
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
6590
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
6591
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
6594
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
6595
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
6596
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
6598
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
6599
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
6600
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
6602
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
6603
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
6605
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
6606
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
6607
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
6608
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
6609
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
6610
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
6611
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
6612
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
6613
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
6614
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
6616
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
6617
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
6619
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
6620
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
6621
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
6626
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
6627
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
6629
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
6630
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
6631
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
6633
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
6634
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
6636
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
6637
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
6639
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
6642
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
6643
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
6645
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
6646
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
6648
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
6649
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
6651
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
6652
(Blake Winton, #129299)
6654
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
6656
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
6659
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
6660
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
6661
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
6662
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
6664
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
6666
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
6667
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
6670
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
6671
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
6673
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
6674
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
6677
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
6678
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
6680
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
6681
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
6683
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
6684
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
6685
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
6686
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
6687
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
6688
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
6689
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
6691
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
6692
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
6694
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
6695
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
6697
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
6698
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
6700
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
6701
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
6703
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
6705
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
6707
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
6708
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
6710
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
6711
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
6712
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
6714
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
6715
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
6716
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
6721
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
6722
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
6724
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
6727
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
6730
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
6731
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
6733
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
6735
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
6736
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
6738
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
6739
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
6741
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
6742
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
6743
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
6744
space). (Robert Collins)
6746
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
6747
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
6750
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
6751
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
6753
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
6754
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
6756
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
6757
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
6758
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
6759
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
6761
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
6762
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
6763
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
6766
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
6769
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
6770
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
6771
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
6773
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
6774
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
6775
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
6776
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
6777
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
6782
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
6783
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
6785
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
6786
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
6787
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
6788
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
6789
affected. (Robert Collins)
6791
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
6792
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
6793
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
6796
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
6797
previous release. (Martin Pool)
6802
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
6803
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
6805
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
6806
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6808
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
6809
previous release. (Martin Pool)
6811
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
6814
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
6815
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
6820
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
6821
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
6822
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
6823
its version information. (Robert Collins)
6825
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
6826
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
6828
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
6829
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
6830
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
6831
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
6833
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
6834
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
6835
present. (Robert Collins)
6837
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
6838
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
6839
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
6840
API. (Robert Collins)
6842
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
6843
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
6846
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
6847
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
6849
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
6850
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
6851
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
6852
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
6853
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
6854
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
6856
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
6857
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
6858
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
6860
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
6861
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
6862
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
6863
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
6866
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
6869
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
6870
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
6871
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
6872
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
6873
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
6874
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
6875
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
6877
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
6878
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
6879
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
6880
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
6882
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
6883
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
6884
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
6885
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
6886
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
6887
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
6889
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
6890
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
6891
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
6893
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
6894
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
6900
:Released: 2007-08-28
6905
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
6906
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
6907
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
6908
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
6909
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
6910
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
6911
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
6912
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
6918
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
6919
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
6920
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
6926
:Released: 2007-08-14
6931
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
6932
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
6933
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
6934
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
6935
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
6937
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
6938
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
6940
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
6942
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
6944
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
6945
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
6948
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
6949
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
6952
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
6955
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
6956
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
6958
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
6959
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
6961
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
6962
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
6964
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
6965
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
6967
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
6968
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
6970
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
6976
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
6977
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
6979
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
6980
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
6982
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
6983
the repository (Robert Collins)
6985
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
6986
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
6987
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
6988
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
6989
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
6991
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
6992
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
6994
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
6995
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
6996
(John Arbash Meinel)
6998
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
6999
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
7000
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
7002
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
7003
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
7004
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
7005
(John Arbash Meinel)
7007
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
7008
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
7011
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
7012
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
7014
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
7017
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
7019
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
7021
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
7022
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
7024
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
7025
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
7028
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
7029
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
7030
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
7031
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
7033
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
7034
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
7035
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
7037
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
7038
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
7039
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
7041
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
7042
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
7044
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
7045
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
7046
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
7047
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
7048
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
7049
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
7052
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
7053
(Alexander Belchenko)
7055
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
7056
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
7058
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
7059
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
7061
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
7063
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
7064
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
7069
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
7070
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
7071
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
7072
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
7074
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
7076
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
7079
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
7080
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
7081
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
7082
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
7083
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
7084
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
7089
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
7090
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
7091
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
7092
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
7094
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
7095
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
7096
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
7097
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
7098
tests have been refactored too.
7101
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
7102
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
7103
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
7107
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
7108
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
7109
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
7111
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
7112
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
7113
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
7114
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
7115
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
7116
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
7117
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
7119
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
7120
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
7121
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
7122
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
7123
(John Arbash Meinel)
7125
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
7126
functionality for testing.
7128
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
7130
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
7131
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
7133
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
7135
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
7138
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
7139
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
7141
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
7142
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
7143
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
7145
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
7148
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
7149
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
7151
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
7152
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
7153
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
7154
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
7156
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
7157
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
7159
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
7160
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
7161
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
7163
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
7166
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
7167
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
7168
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
7169
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
7170
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
7171
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
7173
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
7174
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
7175
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
7176
many files. (Robert Collins)
7178
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
7179
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
7180
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
7181
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
7186
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
7187
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
7188
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
7190
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
7191
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
7193
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
7194
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
7195
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

7212
:Released: 2007-07-10
7217
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
7218
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
7220
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
7221
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
7222
(James Westby, #122656)
7224
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
7225
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
7227
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
7228
authentication header.
7229
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
7231
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
7233
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
7234
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
7236
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
7238
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
7239
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
7241
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
7242
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
7243
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
7245
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
7246
individually and as part of revision ranges.
7247
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
7249
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
7250
(Martin Pool, #109169)
7252
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
7253
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
7255
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
7256
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
7258
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
7260
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
7265
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
7266
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
7267
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
7268
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
7269
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
7270
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
7272
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
7273
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
7274
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
7276
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
7279
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
7280
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
7282
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
7283
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
7285
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
7286
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
7288
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
7289
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
7290
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
7291
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
7292
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
7294
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
7295
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
7297
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
7298
can be slow it is useful feedback).
7299
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
7301
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
7302
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
7304
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
7306
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
7307
output. (Aaron Bentley)
7309
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
7310
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
7313
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
7316
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
7317
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
7319
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
7320
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
7322
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
7323
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
7325
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
7327
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
7328
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
7330
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
7336
* Testing cleanups -
7337
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
7338
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
7339
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
7340
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
7341
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
7342
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
7343
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
7344
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
7345
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
7346
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
7347
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
7348
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
7349
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
7350
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
7351
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
7352
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
7353
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
7356
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
7358
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
7359
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
7360
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
7362
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
7363
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
7365
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
7366
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
7368
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
7370
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
7371
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
7372
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
7373
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
7374
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
7375
same location. (Robert Collins)
7380
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
7382
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
7384
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
7386
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
7389
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
7392
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
7393
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
7394
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
7396
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
7398
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
7399
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
7400
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
7402
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
7403
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
7405
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
7406
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
7407
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
7409
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
7410
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
7411
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
7413
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
7414
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
7415
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
7417
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
7418
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
7421
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
7422
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
7424
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
7425
(Alexander Belchenko)
7430
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
7431
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
7432
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
7433
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
7435
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
7436
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
7437
testing. (Robert Collins)
7439
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
7440
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
7442
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
7443
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
7444
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
7445
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
7446
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
7447
attribute during the test parameterisation in
7448
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
7450
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
7451
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
7452
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
7453
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
7455
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
7456
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
7458
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
7459
avoid useless cloning.

Notes When Upgrading
7484
********************
7486
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
7487
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
7488
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
7489
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
7490
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
7491
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
7492
and unlock() like so::
7494
work_tree.lock_read()
7496
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
7502
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
7503
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
7505
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
7506
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
7507
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
7509
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
7510
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
7511
too. (Robert Collins)
7516
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
7517
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
7520
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
7521
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
7523
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
7524
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
7526
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
7527
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
7528
understanding what changes have occurred
7529
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
7531
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
7532
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
7533
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
7535
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
7536
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
7537
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
7538
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
7540
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
7546
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
7547
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
7548
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
7549
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
7550
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
7552
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
7553
based on split paths, not just string paths.
7554
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
7556
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
7557
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
7559
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
7561
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
7563
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
7564
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
7566
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
7567
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
7569
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
7570
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
7572
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
7573
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
7575
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
7576
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
7578
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
7579
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
7580
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
7585
:Released: 2007-05-07
7590
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
7591
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
7592
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
7593
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
7594
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
7596
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
7597
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
7598
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
7600
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
7601
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
7606
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
7607
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
7608
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
7610
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
7611
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
7612
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
7613
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
7618

7623
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
7624
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
7625
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
7626
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
7628
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
7629
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
7630
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
7632
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
7633
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
7635
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
7636
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
7638
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
7639
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

Notes When Upgrading
7647
********************
7649
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
7650
it could be recovered again.
7651
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
7652
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
7653
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
7655
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
7657
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
7658
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
7663
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
7664
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
7666
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
7667
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
7668
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
7669
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
7671
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
7672
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
7674
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
7675
tests with names that match that regular expression.
7676
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
7678
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
7679
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
7680
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
7682
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
7683
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
7684
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
7686
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
7687
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
7690
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
7693
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
7694
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
7695
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
7696
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
7698
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
7701
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
7702
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
7703
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
7706
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
7707
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
7709
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
7710
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
7712
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
7713
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
7714
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
7715
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
7718
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
7719
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
7721
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
7722
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
7724
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
7725
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
7726
(Robert Collins, #107125).
7728
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
7729
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
7730
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
7732
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
7733
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
7734
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
7736
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
7737
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
7738
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
7739
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
7741
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
7742
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
7743
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
7744
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
7746
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
7747
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
7748
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
7749
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
7750
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
7751
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
7752
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
7753
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
7760
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
7761
code paths. (Robert Collins)
7763
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
7764
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
7765
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
7766
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
7767
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7769
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
7770
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
7772
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
7773
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
7775
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
7776
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
7778
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
7779
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
7781
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
7782
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
7783
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
7786
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
7787
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
7788
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
7789
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
7790
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
7793
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
7794
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
7795
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
7797
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
7798
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
7801
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
7802
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
7803
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
7806
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
7807
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
7808
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
7809
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
7810
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
7812
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
7813
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
7814
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
7815
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
7817
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
7818
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
7820
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
7821
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
7822
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
7823
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
7824
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
7825
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
7827
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
7828
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
7830
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
7831
help. (Robert Collins)
7833
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
7834
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
7836
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
7837
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
7838
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
7839
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
7840
(John Arbash Meinel)
7842
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
7843
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
7844
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
7845
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
7846
useful. (Robert Collins)
7848
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
7854
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
7855
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
7857
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
7858
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
7860
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
7861
properly and is no longer beneficial.
7862
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
7864
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
7867
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
7868
the file, and does it faster.
7869
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
7871
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
7872
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
7873
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
7875
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
7876
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
7877
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
7878
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
7880
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
7881
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
7882
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
7883
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
7885
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
7886
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
7888
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
7889
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
7890
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
7891
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
7894
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
7896
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
7897
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
7899
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
7900
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
7902
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
7903
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
7904
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
7905
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
7909
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
7910
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
7915
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
7916
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
7917
in running it. (Robert Collins)
7919
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
7920
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
7922
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
7923
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
7924
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
7925
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
7926
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
7927
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
7928
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
7929
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7931
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
7932
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
7933
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7935
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
7936
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
7937
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
7938
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
7939
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
7941
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7943
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
7944
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
7945
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
7947
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
7948
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
7954
:Released: 2007-04-01
7959
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
7962
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
7963
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
7969
:Released: 2007-03-26
7974
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
7975
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
7981
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
7982
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
7983
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
7984
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
7985
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
7986
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
7987
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
7988
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
7994
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
7995
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
7996
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
7998
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
7999
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
8002
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
8003
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
8004
(John Arbash Meinel)
8006
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
8007
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
8008
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
8009
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
8010
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
8015
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
8018
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
8019
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
8021
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
8022
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
8024
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
8025
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
8026
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
8028
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
8029
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
8031
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
8032
last-changed-revision for directories. The
8033
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
8034
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
8035
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
8037
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
8038
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
8039
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
8041
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

Notes When Upgrading
8050
********************
8052
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
8053
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
8054
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
8059
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
8060
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
8062
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
8063
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
8065
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
8067
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
8068
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
8070
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
8071
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
8076
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
8082
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
8083
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
8084
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
8085
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
8087
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
8088
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
8090
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
8091
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
8093
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
8096
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
8097
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
8103
:Released: 2007-03-07
8108
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
8109
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
8110
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
8111
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
8112
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
8113
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
8115
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
8116
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
8117
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
8118
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
8119
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
8120
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
8122
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
8124
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
8125
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
8126
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
8127
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
8128
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
8129
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
8130
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
8131
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
8136
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
8137
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
8139
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
8140
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
8141
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
8142
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
8144
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
8145
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
8146
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
8147
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
8148
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
8150
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
8153
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
8156
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
8159
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
8160
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
8163
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
8166
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
8167
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
8169
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
8170
directory. (Martin Pool)
8172
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
8173
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
8174
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
8175
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
8177
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
8178
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
8179
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
8180
in docs/configuration.txt.
8182
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
8183
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
8186
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
8187
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
8188
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
8189
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
8190
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
8191
repositories. (Martin Pool)
8193
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
8194
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
8196
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
8197
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
8199
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
8205
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
8206
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
8207
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
8208
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
8209
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
8210
(John Arbash Meinel)
8212
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
8213
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
8216
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
8217
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
8218
(John Arbash Meinel)
8220
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
8221
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
8222
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
8223
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
8224
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
8225
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
8227
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
8228
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
8229
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
8231
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
8232
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
8233
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
8234
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
8236
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
8238
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
8239
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
8240
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
8241
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
8243
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
8244
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
8245
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
8246
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
8248
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
8249
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
8250
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
8252
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
8253
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
8254
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
8256
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
8257
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
8258
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
8259
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
8261
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
8262
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
8263
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
8265
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
8266
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
8267
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
8269
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
8270
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
8271
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
8272
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
8273
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
8274
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
8275
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
8276
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
8277
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
8278
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
8279
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
8284
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
8285
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
8286
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
8288
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
8291
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
8292
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
8293
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
8294
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
8296
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
8297
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
8300
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
8301
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
8303
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
8305
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
8306
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
8307
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
8309
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.

8330
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

8341
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
8346
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
8347
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
8348
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
8350
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
8351
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
8352
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
8358
:Released: 2007-01-16
8363
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
8364
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
8365
server, then you can write over the http connection.
8366
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
8368
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
8371
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
8372
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
8373
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
8375
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
8376
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
8378
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
8381
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
8382
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
8383
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
8384
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
8385
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
8386
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
8388
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
8389
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
8390
should enable you to do::
8392
[/home/user/project]
8393
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
8394
push_location:policy = appendpath
8396
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
8397
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
8400
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
8401
for each file. For example::
8403
$ bzr status --short
8409
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
8410
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
8412
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
8414
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
8415
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
8417
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
8422
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
8423
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
8424
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
8425
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
8427
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
8428
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
8429
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
8431
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
8433
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
8434
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
8435
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
8436
(Alexander Belchenko)
8438
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
8441
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
8442
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
8444
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
8449
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
8450
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
8452
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
8453
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
8454
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
8455
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
8456
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
8458
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
8459
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
8461
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
8462
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
8464
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
8466
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
8468
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
8469
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
8470
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
8471
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
8472
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
8474
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
8475
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
8476
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
8477
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
8479
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
8480
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
8482
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
8483
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
8485
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
8486

* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
8510
(Daniel Silverstone)
8512
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
8513
operations are substantially faster.
8514
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
8516
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
8517
tree from some other url. For example:
8518
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
8519
(Daniel Silverstone)
8521
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
8522
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
8523
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
8524
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
8526
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
8529
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
8530
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
8531
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
8532
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
8533
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
8534
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
8539
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
8540
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
8543
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
8544
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
8545
(John Arbash Meinel)
8547
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
8548
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
8549
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
8550
(John Arbash Meinel)
8552
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
8553
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
8555
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
8556
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
8558
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
8559
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
8565
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
8566
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
8567
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
8569
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
8570
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
8571
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
8572
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
8574
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
8576
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
8577
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
8579
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
8580
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
8581
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
8582
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
8584
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
8585
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
8586
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
8588
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
8589
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
8590
them as full references rather than integers.
8591
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
8593
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
8594
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
8596
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
8598
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
8599
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
8601
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
8602
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
8604
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
8605
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
8606
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
8607
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
8609
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
8610
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
8611
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
8613
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
8614
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
8616
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
8617
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
8618
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
8619
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.

8648
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
8649
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
8650
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
8651
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
8653
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
8654
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
8656
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
8658
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
8659
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
8660
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
8661
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
8663
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
8664
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
8665
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
8666
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
8667
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
8672
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
8673
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
8678
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
8679
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
8680
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
8682
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
8683
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
8684
(John Arbash Meinel)
8686
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
8687
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
8688
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
8690
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
8691
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
8694
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
8695
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
8696
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
8698
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
8699
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
8700
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
8701
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
8702
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
8703
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
8705
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
8706
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
8707
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
8710
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
8711
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
8716
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
8717
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
8718
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
8721
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
8722
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
8724
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
8725
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
8726
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
8728
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
8729
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
8731
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
8732
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
8733
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
8734
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
8736
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
8737
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
8739
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
8740
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
8741
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)

* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
8744
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
8746
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)

* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
8749
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,

testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
8757
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
8758
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
8760
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
8761
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
8762
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
8767
:Released: 2006-10-02
8769
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
8774
:Released: 2006-09-27
8779
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
8781
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
8787
:Released: 2006-09-25
8792
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
8793
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
8794
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
8795
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
8796
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
8797
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
8798
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
8800
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
8801
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
8802
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
8804
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
8806
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
8807
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
8809
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
8810
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
8811
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
8814
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
8815
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
8816
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
8817
(John Arbash Meinel)
8819
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
8820
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
8821
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
8822
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
8825
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
8826
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
8827
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
8828
(John Arbash Meinel)
8833
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
8834
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
8836
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
8838
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
8839
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
8840
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
8842
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
8843
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
8845
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
8846
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
8848
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
8849
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
8851
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
8852
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
8854
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
8856
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
8857
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
8859
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
8860
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
8862
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
8863
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
8865
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
8866
(John Arbash Meinel)
8868
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
8869
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
8870
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
8872
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
8873
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
8875
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
8876
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
8877
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
8878
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
8880
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
8881
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
8882
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
8884
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
8885
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
8890
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
8895
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
8896
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
8897
(John Arbash Meinel)
8899
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
8900
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
8901
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
8902
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
8904
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
8907
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
8908
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
8909
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
8911
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
8912
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
8914
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
8915
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
8916
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
8918
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
8919
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
8920
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
8921
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
8922
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
8923
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
8924
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
8925
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
8926
caller to repeat their request.
8927
(John Arbash Meinel)
8929
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
8930
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
8932
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
8933
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
8935
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
8936
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
8937
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
8938
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
8939
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
8940
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
8941
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
8943
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
8944
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
8945
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
8946
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
8947
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
8948
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
8949
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
8950
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
8953
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
8954
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
8955
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
8957
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
8958
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
8960
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
8961
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
8963
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
8964
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
8969
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
8970
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
8972
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
8973
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
8974
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
8976
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
8977
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
8978
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
8983
:Released: 2006-08-29
8987
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
8988
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
8990
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
8991
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
8992
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
8993
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
8994
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
8996
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
8997
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
8998
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
9000
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
9001
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
9003
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
9004
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
9005
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
9010
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
9012
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
9013
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
9014
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
9016
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
9018
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
9020
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
9021
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
9022
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
9023
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
9025
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
9026
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
9027
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
9028
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
9029
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
9031
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
9032
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
9034
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
9035
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
9037
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
9038
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
9040
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
9041
in handling of revision properties.
9042
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
9044
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
9045
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
9050
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
9051
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
9052
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
9053
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
9054
(John Arbash Meinel)
9056
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
9057
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
9058
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
9063
:Released: 2006-08-11
9068
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
9069
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
9070
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
9071
specific one '.bzrignore'.
9072
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
9073
a more conservative list than the old default.
9074
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
9075
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
9076
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
9077
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
9079
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
9080
to more locations than just branch locations.
9086
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
9087
revno:N:branch. For example,
9088
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
9089
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
9091
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
9092
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
9093
the path of a file that has been versioned.
9094
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
9095
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
9096
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
9097
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
9098
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
9101
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
9102
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
9103
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
9106
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
9107
(Alexander Belchenko)
9109
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
9111
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
9114
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
9115
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
9116
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
9117
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
9118
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
9119
(John Arbash Meinel)
9121
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
9122
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
9123
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
9124
grained analysis of performance.
9125
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
9127
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
9128
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
9130
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
9131
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
9132
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
9133
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
9134
file. (Robert Collins).
9136
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
9137
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
9138
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
9140
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
9141
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
9144
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
9145
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
9147
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
9148
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
9149
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
9150
the same way you would apply another branch.
9151
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
9153
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
9154
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
9156
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
9159
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
9162
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
9163
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
9164
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
9166
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
9167
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
9168
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
9170
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
9171
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
9173
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
9174
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
9175
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
9176
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
9177
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
9179
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
9180
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
9182
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
9183
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
9184
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
9185
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
9186
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
9187
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
9188
branch is as much as 4x faster.
9189
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
9191
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
9192
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
9193
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
9198
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
9200
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
9202
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
9203
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
9205
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
9206
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
9208
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
9209
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
9211
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
9213
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
9214
(John Arbash Meinel)
9216
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
9217
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
9219
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
9220
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
9223
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
9224
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
9226
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
9227
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
9229
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
9230
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
9231
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
9232
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
9234
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
9235
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
9237
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
9239
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
9240
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
9242
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
9244
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
9246
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
9247
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
9249
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
9250
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
9252
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
9253
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
9254
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
9256
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
9257
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
9258
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
9260
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
9261
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
9263
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
9264
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
9266
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
9267
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
9269
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
9270
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
9272
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
9273
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
9275
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
9276
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
9277
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
9279
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
9281
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
9282
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
9287
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
9288
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
9289
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
9291
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
9292
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
9294
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
9295
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
9296
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
9298
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
9299
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
9301
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
9302
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
9305
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
9306
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
9307
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
9309
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
9310
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
9311
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
9313
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
9314
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
9315
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
9317
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
9318
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
9319
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
9321
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
9322
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
9323
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
9325
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
9326
instead. (Robert Collins)
9328
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
9333
:Released: 2006-05-17
9338
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
9343
:Released: 2006-05-16
9348
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
9349
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
9351
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
9352
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
9354
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
9355
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
9356
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
9361
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
9363
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
9364
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
9366
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
9371
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
9372
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
9373
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
9374
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
9379
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
9380
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
9381
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
9386
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
9387
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
9388
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
9393
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
9394
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)

Notes When Upgrading
9402
********************
9404
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
9405
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
9406
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
9407
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
9408
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
9409
will keep the same format.
9411
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
9412
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
9413
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
9414
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
9415
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
9417
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
9418
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
9419
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
9420
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
9421
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
9422
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
9423
indicating the current revision of the branch.
9425
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
9426
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
9427
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
9428
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
9429
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
9431
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
9432
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
9433
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
9440
* sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
9441
convention. Paths now take the form::
9443
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
9445
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
9447
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
9448
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
9450
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
9451
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
9452
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
9454
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
9455
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
9456
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
9457
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
9459
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
9460
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
9461
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
9463
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
9465
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
9467
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
9468
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
9471
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
9472
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
9475
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
9477
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
9478
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
9479
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
9482
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
9484
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
9486
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
9489
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
9490
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
9492
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
9493
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
9496
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
9497
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
9500
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
9502
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
9504
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
9505
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
9507
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
9508
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
9509
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
9510
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
9511
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
9512
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
9514
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
9516
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
9517
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
9520
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
9521
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
9523
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
9524
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
9526
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
9528
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
9529
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
9530
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
9531
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
9532
specification by Martin Pool.
9533
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
9535
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
9538
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
9539
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
9541
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
9542
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
9543
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
9545
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
9547
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
9548
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
9554
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
9555
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
9557
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
9559
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
9561
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
9564
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
9565
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
9566
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
9567
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
9572
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
9573
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
9574
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
9575
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
9577
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
9578
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
9579
tried. (Martin Pool)
9581
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
9584
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
9586
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
9587
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
9588
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
9590
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
9591
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
9593
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
9594
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
9595
paths. (Robert Collins)
9597
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
9598
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
9599
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
9601
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
9602
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
9603
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
9605
* Progress bars are now nested - see
9606
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
9607
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
9609
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
9612
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
9615
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
9617
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
9619
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
9620
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
9621
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
9624
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
9625
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
9627
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
9628
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
9629
check. (Robert Collins)
9631
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
9632
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
9637
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
9638
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
9640
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
9641
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
9642
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
9643
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
9645
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
9646
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
9647
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
9648
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
9649
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
9651
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
9652
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
9653
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
9655
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
9657
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
9658
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
9663
:Released: 2006-01-09
9668
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
9669
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
9671
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
9672
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
9673
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
9676
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
9677
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
9679
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
9680
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
9681
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
9682
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
9683
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
9685
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
9686
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
9687
used. (Robert Collins)
9689
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
9690
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
9693
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
9694
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
9695
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
9697
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
9700
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
9701
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
9706
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
9707
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
9709
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
9711
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
9713
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
9714
tree. (Robert Collins)
9716
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
9717
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
9718
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
9721
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
9724
* Tweaks to short log printing
9726
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
9729
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
9730
occurs. (Martin Pool)
9732
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
9733
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
9735
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
9736
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
9738
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
9739
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
9740
settings. (Magnus Therning)
9742
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
9743
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
9745
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
9746
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
9749
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
9750
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
9752
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
9753
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
9755
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
9756
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
9758
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
9761
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
9762
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
9764
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
9765
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
9767
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
9768
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
9769
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
9774
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
9776
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
9778
* Error when run with -OO
9780
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
9783
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
9785
* Change status to 3 for all errors
9787
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
9788
ignored by diff and status
9790
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
9791
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
9793
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
9795
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
9797
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
9798
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
9800
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
9801
email address. (Marien Zwart)
9803
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
9806
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
9807
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
9809
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
9811
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
9812
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
9814
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
9817
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
9818
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
9820
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
9825
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
9826
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
9828
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
9830
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
9832
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
9834
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
9835
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
9836
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
9838
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
9840
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
9841
(John Arbash Meinel)
9843
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
9845
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
9846
If adding a new test script please add that to
9847
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
9849
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
9850
imported. (Martin Pool)
9852
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
9853
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
9854
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
9855
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
9856
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
9859
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
9860
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
9861
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
9863
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
9864
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
9865
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
9867
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
9868
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
9869
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
9870
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
9871
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
9874
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
9875
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
9881
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
9882
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
9884
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
9885
function. (Robert Collins)
9887
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
9888
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
9889
if needed). (Robert Collins)
9891
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
9892
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
9895
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
9896
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
9897
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
9898
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
9899
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
9900
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
9901
version. (Robert Collins)
9903
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
9904
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
9906
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
9907
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
9908
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
9909
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
9910
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
9911
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
9913
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
9916
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
9926
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
9928
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
9930
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
9933
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
9934
query method. (Robert Collins)
9936
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
9939
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
9942
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
9945
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
9946
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
9947
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
9948
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
9950
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
9951
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
9952
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
9953
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
9955
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
9956
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
9961
:Released: 2005-10-28
9966
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
9969
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
9973
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
9974
a separator, not ':'.
9977
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
9978
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
9979
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
9981
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
9982
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
9985
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
9986
has been added that suppresses all output.
9988
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
9991
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
9992
Goffredo Baroncelli.
9994
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
9995
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
9997
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
9998
a revision. (Robert Collins)
10000
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
10001
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
10002
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
10003
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
10005
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
10007
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
10008
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
10010
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
10011
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
10013
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
10014
output directory, if one was supplied.
10016
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
10017
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
10018
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
10019
parameters. (Robert Collins)
10021
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
10023
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
10024
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
10026
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
10027
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
10028
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
10030
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
10031
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
10033
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
10036
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
10038
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
10043
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
10044
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
10045
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
10047
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
10048
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
10049
related questions. (Robert Collins)
10051
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
10052
is given. (Martin Pool)
10054
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
10055
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
10056
file. (Robert Collins)
10058
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
10064
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
10065
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
10066
representation. (Martin Pool).
10068
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
10069
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
10070
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
10072
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
10075
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
10076
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
10079
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
10080
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
10081
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
10082
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
10083
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
10085
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
10086
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
10087
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
10088
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
10089
python path. (Robert Collins)
10091
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
10092
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
10093
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
10094
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
10096
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
10097
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
10099
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
10100
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
10103
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
10104
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
10105
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
10107
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
10108
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
10109
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
10111
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
10112
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
10114
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
10115
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
10116
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
10119
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
10120
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
10121
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
10122
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
10125
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
10128
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
10129
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
10132
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
10133
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
10134
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
10136
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
10137
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propagate as normal.
10138
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
10140
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
10141
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
10142
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
10144
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
10145
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
10147
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
10148
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
10149
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
10150
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
10151
caller. (Robert Collins)
10153
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
10154
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
10157
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
10158
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
10161
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
10163
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
10164
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
10169
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
10170
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
10172
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
10173
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
10179
:Released: 2005-10-12
10184
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
10185
allow directories to be listed.
10187
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
10188
upgrading branch format.
10193
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
10199
:Released: 2005-10-11
10204
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
10205
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
10206
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
10207
high-latency connections.
10212
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
10215
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
10216
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
10218
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
10219
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
10220
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
10221
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
10223
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
10224
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
10226
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
10227
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
10229
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
10230
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
10231
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
10233
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
10234
for files with only a change to their executable status.
10235
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
10238
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
10239
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
10241
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
10242
different partial views of history.
10244
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
10245
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
10250
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
10251
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
10252
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
10254
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
10255
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
10258
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
10259
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
10261
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
10264
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
10265
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
10267
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
10268
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
10269
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
10270
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
10272
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
10274
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
10275
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
10278
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
10279
Contributed by Robert Collins.
10281
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
10282
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
10283
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
10289
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
10290
for your viewing pleasure.
10292
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
10293
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
10295
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
10296
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
10297
handling of such circumstances.
10299
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
10300
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
10301
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
10303
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
10305
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
10306
we call them revisions not patches.
10308
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
10309
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
10311
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
10312
giving the revision *of that file*.
10314
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
10315
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
10316
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
10321
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
10322
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
10324
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
10325
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
10331
:Released: 2005-09-23
10336
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
10338
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
10341
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
10343
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
10345
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
10346
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
10351
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
10352
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
10354
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
10355
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
10356
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
10357
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
10360
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
10361
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
10366
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
10368
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
10369
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
10375
:Released: 2005-09-20
10381
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
10382
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
10383
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
10384
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
10387
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
10390
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
10391
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
10392
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
10393
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
10394
for the operating system is still tried.
10396
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
10397
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
10398
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
10404
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
10409
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
10411
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
10414
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
10421

10434
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
10435
help with intelligent shell completion.
10437
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
10443
* Much better merge support.
10445
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
10446
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
10453
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
10454
mention revisions that are not present.
10456
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
10458
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
10460
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
10461
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
10467
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
10469
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
10470
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
10477
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
10478
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
10486
:Released: 2005-08-18
10491
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
10492
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
10494
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
10496
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
10497
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
10499
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
10502
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
10504
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
10507
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
10508
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
10510
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
10511
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
10512
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
10518
* Faster working tree operations.
10524
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
10525
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
10526
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
10527
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
10529
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
10530
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
10531
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
10532
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
10533
standard plugins directory.
10535
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
10536
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
10537
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
10538
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
10540
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
10541
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
10543
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
10546
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
10547
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
10548
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
10550
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
10551
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
10553
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
10554
line options must come before the command name because they
10555
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
10556
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
10559
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
10561
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
10562
is available with ``--short``.
10568
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
10574
:Released: 2005-06-15
10579
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
10580
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
10582
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
10583
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
10584
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
10585
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
10587
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
10588
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
10589
with the ``--forward`` option.
10591
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
10592
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
10599
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
10600
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
10602
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
10604
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
10605
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
10607
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
10609
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
10610
either read or write mode.
10612
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
10614
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
10615
affected that file.
10617
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
10619
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
10620
suggested by LarstiQ.
10622
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
10623
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
10625
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
10628
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
10629
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
10631
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
10632
haven't changed since the previous time.
10634
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
10635
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
10637
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
10639
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
10641
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
10642
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
10644
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
10645
options through to an external GNU diff.
10647
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
10650
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
10657
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
10658
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
10660
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
10667
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
10668
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
10671
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
10672
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
10674
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
10675
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
10677
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
10678
under a different version.
10680
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
10686
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
10688
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
10689
Scott James Remnant.
10691
* Better help messages for many commands.
10693
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
10694
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
10696
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
10697
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
10699
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
10701
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
10703
* New AtomicFile class.
10705
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
10711
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
10712
2.4 is now only recommended.

10723
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
10724
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
10726
* More default ignore patterns.
10728
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
10729
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
10731

10733
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
10736
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
10742
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
10743
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
10744
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
10745
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
10746
there are DNS problems.
10748
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
10754
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.

10768
* More tests in test.sh.
10770
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
10771
directory and delete it when done.
10773
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
10779
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
10782
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch

10807
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
10812

10813
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
10819
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
10820
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
10826

10855
rather than replacing it.
10857
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
10859
* More help topics.
10861
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
10864

10865
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
10867
* Performance improvements.
10869
* New global --profile option.
10871
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
10872
the root directory only.

10888
committing to stores.
10890
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
