.. contents:: List of Releases
19
* ``bzr merge --interactive`` applies a user-selected portion of the
20
merge. The UI is similar to ``shelve``. (Aaron Bentley)
22
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now takes options ``--stacked-on URL`` and
23
``--unstacked`` to change stacking of a branch.
24
(Martin Pool, #391411)
29
* Annotating on a stacked branch will now succeed in simple scenarios.
30
There are still some complex scenarios where it will fail (bug #399884)
31
(John Arbash Meinel, #393366)
33
* Authenticating against an ssh server now uses ``auth_none`` to determine
34
if password authentication is even supported. This fixes a bug where
35
users would be prompted for a launchpad password, even though launchpad
36
only supports publickey authentication. (John Arbash Meinel, #375867)
38
* BranchBuilder now accepts timezone to avoid test failures in countries far
39
from GMT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #397716)
41
* The environment variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` set to either ``text`` or ``none``
42
always forces progress bars either on or off respectively. Otherwise,
43
they're turned on if ``TERM`` is not ``dumb`` and stderr is a terminal.
44
bzr always uses the 'text' user interface when run as a command, so
45
``BZR_USE_TEXT_UI`` is no longer needed.
46
(Martin Pool, #339385, #387717)
48
* ``bzr commit`` no longer saves the unversioning of missing files until
49
the commit has completed on the branch. This means that aborting a
50
commit that found a missing file will leave the tree unedited.
51
(Robert Collins, #282402)
53
* ``bzr mv`` no longer takes out branch locks, which allows it to work
54
when the branch is readonly. (Robert Collins, #216541)
56
* ``bzr revert .`` no longer generates an InconsistentDelta error when
57
there are missing subtrees. (Robert Collins, #367632)
59
* Cope with FTP servers that don't support restart/append by falling back
60
to reading and then rewriting the whole file, such as TahoeLAFS. (This
61
fallback may be slow for some access patterns.) (Nils Durner, #294709)
63
* Encode the paths in ``mbcs`` encoding on Windows when spawning an
64
external diff client. This at least allows supporting filenames that are
65
not ascii, but are present in the current locale. Ideally we would be
66
able to pass the Unicode path, but that would be client dependent.
67
(John Arbash Meinel, #382709)
69
* Fixed a NameError that occurs when merging or pulling from a URL that
70
causes a redirection loop when bzr tries to read a URL as a bundle.
71
(Andrew Bennetts, #400847)
73
* Fixed export to existing directory: if directory is empty then export
74
will succeed, otherwise it fails with error.
75
(Alexander Belchenko, #406174)
77
* Fixed spurious "Source branch does not support stacking" warning when
78
pushing. (Andrew Bennetts, #388908)
80
* Merge now correctly handles empty right-hand revision specs.
81
(Aaron Bentley, #333961)
83
* Renames to lexographically lower basenames in trees that have never been
84
committed to will no longer corrupt the dirstate. This was caused by an
85
bug in the dirstate update_minimal method. (Robert Collins, #395556)
87
* Requests for unknown methods no longer cause the smart server to log
88
lots of backtraces about ``UnknownSmartMethod``, ``do_chunk`` or
89
``do_end``. (Andrew Bennetts, #338561)
91
* Streaming from bzr servers where there is a chain of stacked branches
92
(A stacked on B stacked on C) will now work. (Robert Collins, #406597)
94
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
95
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
96
repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)
98
* There was a bug in ``osutils.relpath`` that was only triggered on
99
Windows. Essentially if you were at the root of a drive, and did
100
something to a branch/repo on another drive, we would go into an
101
infinite loop while trying to find a 'relative path'.
102
(John Arbash Meinel, #394227)
104
* ``WorkingTree4.unversion`` will no longer fail to unversion ids which
105
were present in a parent tree but renamed in the working tree.
106
(Robert Collins, #187207)
111
* Can now rename/move files even if they have been removed from the inventory.
114
* Pushing branches with tags via ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` is much
115
faster, using a new ``Branch.set_tags_bytes`` smart server verb rather
116
than VFS methods. For example, pushes of small branches with tags take
117
11 rather than 18 smart server requests. (Andrew Bennetts, #398608)
119
* Sending Ctrl-Break on Windows will now drop you into the debugger, in
120
the same way that sending Ctrl-\\ does on other platforms.
123
* The internal core code that handles specific file operations like
124
``bzr st FILENAME`` or ``bzr commit FILENAME`` has been changed to
125
include the parent directories if they have altered, and when a
126
directory stops being a directory its children are always included. This
127
fixes a number of causes for ``InconsistentDelta`` errors, and permits
128
faster commit of specific paths. (Robert Collins, #347649)
134
* Added Bazaar 2.0 Upgrade Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
139
* ``CLIUIFactory`` is deprecated; use ``TextUIFactory`` instead if you
140
need to subclass or create a specific class, or better yet the existing
141
``make_ui_for_terminal``. ``SilentUIFactory`` is clarified to do no
142
user interaction at all, rather than trying to read from stdin but not
143
writing any output, which would be strange if reading prompts or
144
passwords. (Martin Pool)
146
* New TransformPreview.commit() allows committing without a working tree.
149
* ProgressTasks now prefer to talk direct to their ProgressView not to the
156
* ``CHKInventory.path2id`` uses the parent_id to basename hash to avoid
157
reading the entries along the path, reducing work to lookup ids from
158
paths. (Robert Collins)
160
* ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` now raises ``InconsistentDelta`` if a delta adds
161
as new a key which was already mapped. (Robert Collins)
163
* Inventory delta application catches more cases of corruption and can
164
prevent corrupt deltas from affecting consistency of data structures on
165
disk. (Robert Collins)
167
* --subunit support now adds timestamps if the subunit version supports
171

#########################################
173
:Codename: so-late-its-brunch
178
Bazaar continues to blaze a straight and shining path to the 2.0 release and
179
the elevation of the ``2a`` beta format to the full glory of "supported and
182
Highlights in this release include greatly reduced memory consumption during
183
commits, faster ``ls``, faster ``annotate``, faster network operations if
184
you're specifying a revision number and the final destruction of those
185
annoying progress bar artifacts.
188
Changes from 1.17rc1 to 1.17final
189
*********************************
191
* Change an extension to call the python ``frozenset()`` rather than the C
192
api ``PyFrozenSet_New``. It turns out that python2.4 did not expose the
193
C api. (John Arbash Meinel, #399366)
195
* Fixes for the Makefile and the rename of ``generate_docs.py`` to
196
``tools/generate_docs.py`` to allow everything to be built on Windows.
197
(John Arbash Meinel, #399356)
199
* ``bzr serve`` once again applies a ``ChrootServer`` to the given
200
directory before serving it. (Andrew Bennetts, #400535)
206
* ``bzr register-branch`` from the Launchpad plugin now refers to "project"
207
instead of "product" which is the correct Launchpad terminology. The
208
--product option is deprecated and users should switch to using --project.
209
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #238764)
215
* ``bzr push`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
216
are present in the working tree (if one is present) and no revision is
217
specified. The configuration option ``push_strict`` can be used to set the
218
default for this behavior. (Vincent Ladeuil, #284038, #322808, #65286)
220
* ``bzr revno`` and ``bzr revision-info`` now have a ``--tree`` option to
221
show revision info for the working tree instead of the branch.
222
(Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
224
* ``bzr send`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
225
are present in the working tree and no revision is specified. The
226
configuration option ``send_strict`` can be used to set the default for this
228
(Vincent Ladeuil, #206577)
230
* ``bzr switch --create-branch/-b`` can now be used to create and switch
231
to a new branch. Supplying a name without a ``/`` will create the branch
232
relative to the existing branch. (similar to how ``bzr switch name``
233
works when the branch already exists.) (John Arbash Meinel)
239
* Accept uppercase "Y/N" to prompts such as from break lock.
240
(#335182, Tim Powell, Martin Pool)
242
* Add documentation about diverged branches and how to fix them in the
243
centralized workflow with local commits. Mention ``bzr help
244
diverged-branches`` when a push fails because the branches have
245
diverged. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #269477)
247
* Annotate would sometimes 'latch on' to trivial lines, causing important
248
lines to be incorrectly annotated. (John Arbash Meinel, #387952)
250
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
251
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
252
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
254
* Avoid progress bar artifacts being left behind on the screen.
255
(Martin Pool, #321935)
257
* Better message in ``bzr split`` error suggesting a rich root format.
258
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #220067)
260
* ``Branch.set_append_revisions_only`` now works with branches on a smart
261
server. (Andrew Bennetts, #365865)
263
* By default, ``bzr branch`` will fail if the target directory exists, but
264
does not already have a control directory. The flag ``--use-existing-dir``
265
will allow operation to proceed. (Alexander Belchenko, #307554)
267
* ``bzr ls DIR --from-root`` now shows only things in DIR, not everything.
270
* Fetch between repositories does not error if they have inconsistent data
271
that should be irrelevant to the fetch operation. (Aaron Bentley)
273
* Fix ``AttributeError`` exception when reconfiguring lightweight checkout
274
of a remote repository.
275
(Jelmer Vernooij, #332194)
277
* Fix bug in decoding v3 smart server messages when receiving multiple
278
lots of excess bytes after an end-of-message.
281
* Force deletion of readonly files during merge, update and other tree
283
(Craig Hewetson, Martin Pool, #218206)
285
* Force socket shutdown in threaded http test servers to avoid client hangs
286
(pycurl). (Vincent Ladeuil, #383920).
288
* ``LRUCache`` will maintain the linked list pointers even if a nodes
289
cleanup function raises an exception. (John Arbash Meinel, #396838)
291
* Progress bars are now suppressed again when the environment variable
292
``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` is set to ``none``.
293
(Martin Pool, #339385)
295
* Reduced memory consumption during ``bzr commit`` of large files. For
296
pre 2a formats, should be down to ~3x the size of a file.
297
For ``--2a`` format repositories, it is down to the size of the file
298
content plus the size of the compressed text. Related to bug #109114.
301
* Set hidden attribute on .bzr directory below unicode path should never
302
fail with error. The operation should succeed even if bzr unable to set
303
the attribute. (Alexander Belchenko, related to bug #335362).
305
* Stacking will no longer accept requests to stack on the same
306
branch/repository. Existing branches that incorrectly reference the same
307
repository in a stacking configuration will now raise
308
UnstackableLocationError when the branch is opened. This can be fixed by
309
removing the stacking location inside ``.bzr/branch``.
310
(Robert Collins, #376243)
312
* The ``log+`` decorator, useful in debugging or profiling, could cause
313
"AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'next'". This is now
314
fixed. The log decorator no longer shows the elapsed time or transfer
315
rate because they're available in the log prefixes and the transport
316
activity display respectively.
317
(Martin Pool, #340347)
319
* Unshelve works correctly when multiple zero-length files are present on
320
the shelf. (Aaron Bentley, #363444)
322
* Progress bars no longer show the network transport scheme or direction.
325
* launchpad-login now respects the 'verbose' option.
326
(Jonathan Lange, #217031)
332
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is now officially deprecated. It is not
333
possible to write a deprecation wrapper, but the variable will be
334
removed in the near future. Use ``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding()``
335
instead. (Alexander Belchenko)
337
* Command lookup has had hooks added. ``bzrlib.Command.hooks`` has
338
three new hook points: ``get_command``, ``get_missing_command`` and
339
``list_commands``, which allow just-in-time command name provision
340
rather than requiring all command names be known a-priori.
343
* ``get_app_path`` from win32utils.py now supports REG_EXPAND_SZ data type
344
and can read path to wordpad.exe. (Alexander Belchenko, #392046)
346
* ``graph.KnownGraph`` has been added. This is a class that can give
347
answers to ``heads()`` very quickly. However, it has the assumption that
348
the whole graph has already been loaded. This is true during
349
``annotate`` so it is used there with good success (as much as 2x faster
350
for files with long ancestry and 'cherrypicked' changes.)
351
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
353
* OS file locks are now taken out using ``CreateFile`` rather than
354
``LockFileEx`` on Windows. The locking remains exclusive with
355
``LockFileEx`` but now it also works on older versions of Windows (such
356
as Win98). (Martin <gzlist>)
358
* pack <=> pack fetching is now done via a ``PackStreamSource`` rather
359
than the ``Packer`` code. The user visible change is that we now
360
properly fetch the minimum number of texts for non-smart fetching.
364
* ``VersionedFiles._add_text`` is a new api that lets us insert text into
365
the repository as a single string, rather than a list of lines. This can
366
improve memory overhead and performance of committing large files.
367
(Currently a private api, used only by commit). (John Arbash Meinel)
373
* ``bzr annotate`` can now be significantly faster. The time for
374
``bzr annotate NEWS`` is down to 7s from 22s in 1.16. Files with long
375
histories and lots of 'duplicate insertions' will be improved more than
376
others. (John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
378
* ``bzr ls`` is now faster. On OpenOffice.org, the time drops from 2.4
379
to 1.1 seconds. The improvement for ``bzr ls -r-1`` is more
380
substantial dropping from 54.3 to 1.1 seconds. (Ian Clatworthy)
382
* Improve "Path(s) are not versioned" error reporting for some commands.
385
* Initial commit performance in ``--2a`` repositories has been improved by
386
making it cheaper to build the initial CHKMap. (John Arbash Meinel)
388
* Resolving a revno to a revision id on a branch accessed via ``bzr://``
389
or ``bzr+ssh://`` is now much faster and involves no VFS operations.
390
This speeds up commands like ``bzr pull -r 123``. (Andrew Bennetts)
392
* ``revision-info`` now properly aligns the revnos/revids in the output
393
and doesn't traceback when given revisions not in the current branch.
394
Performance is also significantly improved when requesting multiple revs
395
at once. (Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
397
* Tildes are no longer escaped by Transports. (Andy Kilner)
403
* Avoid bad text wrapping in generated documentation. Slightly better
404
formatting in the user reference.
405
(Martin Pool, #249908)
407
* Minor clarifications to the help for End-Of-Line conversions.
413
* Removed overspecific error class ``InvalidProgressBarType``.
416
* The method ``ProgressView._show_transport_activity`` is now
417
``show_transport_activity`` because it's part of the contract between
418
this class and the UI. (Martin Pool)
421
bzr 1.16.1 2009-06-26
422
#####################
424
End user testing of the 2a format revealed two serious bugs. The first,
425
#365615, caused bzr to raise AbsentContentFactory errors when autopacking.
426
This meant that commits or pushes to 2a-format repositories failed
429
The second bug, #390563, caused the smart server to raise AbsentContentFactory
430
when streaming 2a stacked 2a-format branches. This particularly affected
431
branches stored on Launchpad in the 2a format.
433
Both of these bugs cause command failures only, neither of them cause data
434
corruption or data loss. And, of course, both of these bugs are now fixed.
439
* We now properly request a more minimal set of file texts when fetching
440
multiple revisions. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
442
* Repositories using CHK pages (which includes the new 2a format) will no
443
longer error during commit or push operations when an autopack operation
444
is triggered. (Robert Collins, #365615)
446
* ``chk_map.iter_interesting_nodes`` now properly uses the *intersection*
447
of referenced nodes rather than the *union* to determine what
448
uninteresting pages we still need to look at. Prior to this,
449
incrementally pushing to stacked branch would push the minimal data, but
450
fetching everything would request extra texts. There are some unhandled
451
cases wrt trees of different depths, but this fixes the common cases.
452
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
454
* ``GroupCompress`` repositories now take advantage of the pack hints
455
parameter to permit cross-format fetching to incrementally pack the
456
converted data. (Robert Collins)
458
* ``Repository.commit_write_group`` now returns opaque data about what
459
was committed, for passing to the ``Repository.pack``. Repositories
460
without atomic commits will still return None. (Robert Collins)
462
* ``Repository.pack`` now takes an optional ``hint`` parameter
463
which will support doing partial packs for repositories that can do
464
that. (Robert Collins)
466
* RepositoryFormat has a new attribute 'pack_compresses' which is True
467
when doing a pack operation changes the compression of content in the
468
repository. (Robert Collins)
470
* ``StreamSink`` and ``InterDifferingSerialiser`` will call
471
``Repository.pack`` with the hint returned by
472
``Repository.commit_write_group`` if the formats were different and the
473
repository can increase compression by doing a pack operation.

bzr 1.16 "It's yesterday in California" 2009-06-18
478
##################################################
479
:Codename: yesterday-in-california
483
This version of Bazaar contains the beta release of the new ``2a`` repository
484
format, suitable for testing by fearless, advanced users. This format or an
485
updated version of it will become the default format in Bazaar 2.0. Please
486
read the NEWS entry before even thinking about upgrading to the new format.
488
Also included are speedups for many operations on huge projects, a bug fix for
489
pushing stacked new stacked branches to smart servers and the usual bevy of
490
bug fixes and improvements.
493
Changes from 1.16rc1 to 1.16final
494
*********************************
496
* Fix the nested tree flag check so that upgrade from development formats to
497
2a can work correctly.
498
(Jelmer Vernooij, #388727)
500
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
501
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
502
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
508
* Display prompt on stderr (instead of stdout) when querying users so
509
that the output of commands can be safely redirected.
510
(Vincent Ladeuil, #376582)
516
* A new repository format ``2a`` has been added. This is a beta release
517
of the the brisbane-core (aka group-compress) project. This format now
518
suitable for wider testing by advanced users willing to deal with some
519
bugs. We would appreciate test reports, either positive or negative.
520
Format 2a is substantially smaller and faster for many operations on
521
many trees. This format or an updated version will become the default
524
This is a rich-root format, so this repository format can be used with
525
bzr-svn. Bazaar branches in previous non-rich-root formats can be
526
converted (including by merge, push and pull) to format 2a, but not vice
527
versa. We recommend upgrading previous development formats to 2a.
529
Upgrading to this format can take considerable time because it expands
530
and more concisely repacks the full history.
532
If you use stacked branches, you must upgrade the stacked branches
533
before the stacked-on branches. (See <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/374735>)
535
* ``--development7-rich-root`` is a new dev format, similar to ``--dev6``
536
but using a Revision serializer using bencode rather than XML.
537
(Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
539
* mail_client=claws now supports --body (and message body hooks). Also uses
540
configured from address. (Barry Warsaw)
546
* ``--development6-rich-root`` can now stack. (Modulo some smart-server
547
bugs with stacking and non default formats.)
548
(John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
550
* ``--development6-rich-root`` delays generating a delta index for the
551
first object inserted into a group. This has a beneficial impact on
552
``bzr commit`` since each committed texts goes to its own group. For
553
committing a 90MB file, it drops peak memory by about 200MB, and speeds
554
up commit from 7s => 4s. (John Arbash Meinel)
556
* Numerous operations are now faster for huge projects, i.e. those
557
with a large number of files and/or a large number of revisions,
558
particularly when the latest development format is used. These
559
operations (and improvements on OpenOffice.org) include:
561
* branch in a shared repository (2X faster)
562
* branch --no-tree (100X faster)
568
* Pyrex version of ``bencode`` support. This provides optimized support
569
for both encoding and decoding, and is now found at ``bzrlib.bencode``.
570
``bzrlib.utils.bencode`` is now deprecated.
571
(Alexander Belchenko, Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
577
* Bazaar can now pass attachment files to the mutt email client.
578
(Edwin Grubbs, #384158)
580
* Better message in ``bzr add`` output suggesting using ``bzr ignored`` to
581
see which files can also be added. (Jason Spashett, #76616)
583
* ``bzr pull -r 123`` from a stacked branch on a smart server no longer fails.
584
Also, the ``Branch.revision_history()`` API now works in the same
585
situation. (Andrew Bennetts, #380314)
587
* ``bzr serve`` on Windows no longer displays a traceback simply because a
588
TCP client disconnected. (Andrew Bennetts)
590
* Clarify the rules for locking and fallback repositories. Fix bugs in how
591
``RemoteRepository`` was handling fallbacks along with the
592
``_real_repository``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #375496)
594
* Fix a small bug with fetching revisions w/ ghosts into a new stacked
595
branch. Not often triggered, because it required ghosts to be part of
596
the fetched revisions, not in the stacked-on ancestry.
599
* Fix status and commit to work with content filtered trees, addressing
600
numerous bad bugs with line-ending support. (Ian Clatworthy, #362030)
602
* Fix problem of "directory not empty" when contending for a lock over
603
sftp. (Martin Pool, #340352)
605
* Fix rule handling so that eol is optional, not mandatory.
606
(Ian Clatworthy, #379370)
608
* Pushing a new stacked branch to a 1.15 smart server was broken due to a
609
bug in the ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` smart verb. This is fixed in
610
1.16, but required changes to the network protocol, so the
611
``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` verb has been removed and replaced with a
612
corrected ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex_1.16`` verb. 1.15 clients will
613
still work with a 1.16 server as they will fallback to slower (and
615
(Jonathan Lange, Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts, #385132)
617
* Reconcile can now deal with text revisions that originated in revisions
618
that are ghosts. (Jelmer Vernooij, #336749)
620
* Support cloning of branches with ghosts in the left hand side history.
621
(Jelmer Vernooij, #248540)
623
* The ''bzr diff'' now catches OSError from osutils.rmtree and logs a
624
helpful message to the trace file, unless the temp directory really was
625
removed (which would be very strange). Since the diff operation has
626
succeeded from the user's perspective, no output is written to stderr
627
or stdout. (Maritza Mendez, #363837)
629
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
630
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
631
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
632
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
637
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in Russian.
638
(Alexey Shtokalo, Alexander Iljin, Alexander Belchenko, Dmitry Vasiliev,
644
* Added osutils.parent_directories(). (Ian Clatworthy)
646
* ``bzrlib.progress.ProgressBar``, ``ChildProgress``, ``DotsProgressBar``,
647
``TTYProgressBar`` and ``child_progress`` are now deprecated; use
648
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` instead. (Martin Pool)
650
* ``graph.StackedParentsProvider`` is now a public API, replacing
651
``graph._StackedParentsProvider``. The api is now considered stable and ready
652
for external users. (Gary van der Merwe)
654
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is deprecated in favor of
655
``get_user_encoding``. (Alexander Belchenko)
657
* TreeTransformBase no longer assumes that limbo is provided via disk.
658
DiskTreeTransform now provides disk functionality. (Aaron Bentley)
663
* Remove ``weave.py`` script for accessing internals of old weave-format
664
repositories. (Martin Pool)
669
* The number of cores is now correctly detected on OSX. (John Szakmeister)
671
* The number of cores is also detected on Solaris and win32. (Vincent Ladeuil)
673
* The number of cores is also detected on FreeBSD. (Matthew Fuller)
682
The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming content
683
with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search. New command ``bzr
684
dpush``. Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two
685
revisions introduce the exact same line.

*****************************
690
* Use zdll on Windows to build ``_chk_map_pyx`` extension.

694
*********************************
696
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
697
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
698
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
699
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
701
Changes from 1.15rc1 to 1.15final
702
*********************************
709
* ``bzr ls`` is no longer recursive by default. To recurse, use the
710
new ``-R`` option. The old ``--non-recursive`` option has been removed.
711
If you alias ``ls`` to ``ls -R``, you can disable recursion using
712
``--no-recursive`` instead. (Ian Clatworthy)
717
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
718
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
721
* The new development format ``--development6-rich-root`` now supports
722
stacking. We chose not to use a new format marker, since old clients
723
will just fail to open stacked branches, the same as if we used a new
724
format flag. (John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
726
* Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two revisions
727
introduce the exact same line. See ``bzrlib.annotate._break_annotation_tie``
728
Be aware though that this is temporary, private (as indicated by the leading
729
'_') and a first step to address the problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #348459)
731
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
732
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
735
* ``bzr send`` will now check the ``child_submit_format`` setting in
736
the submit branch to determine what format to use, if none was
737
specified on the command-line. (Jelmer Vernooij)
742
* -Dhpss output now includes the number of VFS calls made to the remote
743
server. (Jonathan Lange)
745
* ``--coverage`` works for code running in threads too.
746
(Andrew Bennets, Vincent Ladeuil)
748
* ``bzr pull`` now has a ``--local`` option to only make changes to the
749
local branch, and not the bound master branch.
750
(Gary van der Merwe, #194716)
752
* ``bzr rm *`` is now as fast as ``bzr rm * --keep``. (Johan Walles, #180116)
757
* Adding now works properly when path contains a symbolic link.
758
(Geoff Bache, #183831)
760
* An error is now raised for unknown eol values. (Brian de Alwis, #358199)
762
* ``bzr merge --weave`` will now generate a conflict if one side deletes a
763
line, and the other side modifies the line. (John Arbash Meinel, #328171)
765
* ``bzr reconfigure --standalone`` no longer raises IncompatibleRepositories.
766
(Martin von Gagern, #248932)
768
* ``bzr send`` works to send emails again using MAPI.
769
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #346998)
771
* Check for missing parent inventories in StreamSink. This prevents
772
incomplete stacked branches being created by 1.13 bzr:// and
773
bzr+ssh:// clients (which have bug #354036). Instead, the server now
774
causes those clients to send the missing records. (Andrew Bennetts)
776
* Correctly handle http servers proposing multiple authentication schemes.
777
(Vincent Ladeuil, #366107)
779
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
780
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
782
* Fix a bug in the pure-python ``GroupCompress`` code when handling copies
783
longer than 64KiB. (John Arbash Meinel, #364900)
785
* Fix TypeError in running ``bzr break-lock`` on some URLs.
786
(Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #365891)
788
* Non-recursive ``bzr ls`` now works properly when a path is specified.
789
(Jelmer Vernooij, #357863)
791
* ssh usernames (defined in ~/.ssh/config) are honoured for bzr+ssh connections.
792
(Vincent Ladeuil, #367726)
794
* Several bugs related to unicode symlinks have been fixed and the test suite
795
enhanced to better catch regressions for them. (Vincent Ladeuil)
797
* The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming
798
content with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search: it assumes
799
that the client will make sure it is happy with what it got, and this
800
sort of mismatch is normal for stacked environments.
801
bzr 1.13.0/1 will stream from unstacked branches only - in that case not
802
getting all the content expected would be a bug. However the graph
803
search is how we figured out what we wanted, so a mismatch is both odd
804
and unrecoverable without starting over, and starting over will end up
805
with the same data as if we just permitted the mismatch. If data is
806
gc'd, doing a new search will find only the truncated data, so sending
807
only the truncated data seems reasonable. bzr versions newer than this
808
will stream from stacked branches and check the stream to find missing
809
content in the stacked-on branch, and thus will handle the situation
810
implicitly. (Robert Collins, #360791)
812
* Upgrading to, or fetching into a 'rich-root' format will now correctly
813
set the root data the same way that reconcile does.
814
(Robert Collins, #368921)
816
* Using unicode Windows API to obtain command-line arguments.
817
(Alexander Belchenko, #375934)
825
* ``InterPackRepo.fetch`` and ``RepoFetcher`` now raise ``NoSuchRevision``
826
instead of ``InstallFailed`` when they detect a missing revision.
827
``InstallFailed`` itself has been deleted. (Jonathan Lange)
829
* Not passing arguments to ``bzrlib.commands.main()`` will now grab the
830
arguments from ``osutils.get_unicode_argv()`` which has proper support
831
for unicode arguments on windows. Further, the supplied arguments are now
832
required to be unicode strings, rather than user_encoded strings.
833
(Alexander Belchenko)
838
* ``bzrlib.branch.Branch.set_parent`` is now present on the base branch
839
class and will call ``_set_parent_location`` after doing unicode
840
encoding. (Robert Collins)
842
* ``bzrlib.remote.RemoteBranch._set_parent_location`` will use a new verb
843
``Branch.set_parent_location`` removing further VFS operations.
846
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir._get_config`` now returns a ``TransportConfig``
847
or similar when the dir supports configuration settings. The base class
848
defaults to None. There is a matching new server verb
849
``BzrDir.get-config_file`` to reduce roundtrips for getting BzrDir
850
configuration. (Robert Collins)
852
* ``bzrlib.tests.ExtendedTestResult`` has new methods ``startTests``
853
called before the first test is started, ``done`` called after the last
854
test completes, and a new parameter ``strict``. (Robert Collins)
856
* ``-Dhpss`` when passed to bzr will cause a backtrace to be printed when
857
VFS operations are started on a smart server repository. This should not
858
occur on regular push and pull operations, and is a key indicator for
859
performance regressions. (Robert Collins)
861
* ``-Dlock`` when passed to the selftest (e.g. ``bzr -Dlock selftest``) will
862
cause mismatched physical locks to cause test errors rather than just
863
reporting to the screen. (Robert Collins)
865
* Fallback ``CredentialStore`` instances registered with ``fallback=True``
866
are now be able to provide credentials if obtaining credentials
867
via ~/.bazaar/authentication.conf fails. (Jelmer Vernooij,
868
Vincent Ladeuil, #321918)
870
* New hook ``Lock.lock_broken`` which runs when a lock is
871
broken. This is mainly for testing that lock/unlock are
872
balanced in tests. (Vincent Ladeuil)
874
* New MergeDirective hook 'merge_request_body' allows hooks to supply or
875
alter a body for the message produced by ``bzr send``.
877
* New smart server verb ``BzrDir.initialize_ex`` which implements a
878
refactoring to the core of clone allowing less round trips on new
879
branches. (Robert Collins)
881
* New method ``Tags.rename_revisions`` that can rename revision ids tags
882
are pointing at. (Jelmer Vernooij)
884
* Updated the bundled ``ConfigObj`` library to 4.6.0 (Matt Nordhoff)
889
* ``bzr selftest`` will now fail if lock/unlock are not correctly balanced in
890
tests. Using ``-Dlock`` will turn the related failures into warnings.

943
* A previously disabled code path to accelerate getting configuration
944
settings from a smart server has been reinstated. We think this *may*
945
cause a incompatibility with servers older than bzr 0.15. We intend
946
to issue a point release to address this if it turns out to be a
947
problem. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
949
* bzr no longer autodetects nested trees as 'tree-references'. They
950
must now be explicitly added tree references. At the commandline, use
951
join --reference instead of add. (Aaron Bentley)
953
* The ``--long`` log format (the default) no longer shows merged
954
revisions implicitly, making it consistent with the ``short`` and
955
``line`` log formats. To see merged revisions for just a given
956
revision, use ``bzr log -n0 -rX``. To see every merged revision,
957
use ``bzr log -n0``. (Ian Clatworthy)
962
* New formats ``1.14`` and ``1.14-rich-root`` supporting End-Of-Line
963
(EOL) conversions, keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin)
964
and generic content filtering. These formats replace the experimental
965
``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root`` formats
966
respectively, but have support for filtered views disabled.
969
* New ``mv --auto`` option recognizes renames after they occur.
972
* ``bzr`` can now get passwords from stdin without requiring a controlling
973
terminal (i.e. by redirecting stdin). (Vincent Ladeuil)
975
* ``bzr log`` now supports filtering of multiple files and directories
976
and will show changes that touch any of them. Furthermore,
977
directory filtering now shows the changes to any children of that
978
directory, not just the directory object itself.
979
(Ian Clatworthy, #97715)
981
* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the
982
shelf, via the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
984
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
987
* ``bzr xxx --usage`` where xxx is a command now shows a usage
988
message and the options without the descriptive help sections
989
(like Description and Examples). A message is also given
990
explaining how to see the complete help, i.e. ``bzr help xxx``.
993
* Content filters can now be used to provide custom conversion
994
between the canonical format of content (i.e. as stored) and
995
the convenience format of content (i.e. as created in working
996
trees). See ``bzr help content-filters`` for further details.
997
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
999
* End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting
1000
content filtering. See ``bzr help eol`` for details.
1003
* Newly-blessed `join` command allows combining two trees into one.
1009
* A new format name alias ``default-rich-root`` has been added and
1010
points at the closest relative of the default format that supports
1011
rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
1013
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
1014
the data when the target repository does not need topological
1015
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
1016
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
1017
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1019
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
1020
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
1023
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
1024
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
1025
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
1027
* ``bzr log`` now has ``--include-merges`` as an alias for ``--levels 0``.
1030
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
1033
* IPv6 literals are accepted in URLs.

* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
1037
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
1039
* Prompt for user names if they are not in the configuration.
1040
(Jelmer Vernooij, #256612)
1042
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server
1043
now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
1046
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
1047
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
1048
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1050
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
1051
to "Ignoring files outside view. View is .." to reduce confusion
1052
about what was being considered and what was being ignored.
1055
* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
1056
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
1057
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
1058
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
1060
* The ``brisbane-core`` project has delivered its beta format
1061
``development6-rich-root``. This format is suitable for judicious
1062
testing by early adopters. In particular if you are benchmarking bzr
1063
performance please be sure to test using this format. At this stage
1064
more information is best obtained by contacting the Bazaar mailing list
1065
or IRC channel if you are interested in using this format. We will make
1066
end user documentation available closer to blessing the format as
1067
production ready. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Ian Clatworthy,

* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!
1076
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
1077
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
1078
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
1079
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids

1084
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.

(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
1087
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
1088
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
1089
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
1090
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
1092
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log

* ``bzr split`` now says "See also: join" (Aaron Bentley, #335015)
1097
* ``bzr version-info`` now works in empty branches. (Jelmer Vernooij,
1100
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
1101
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
1102
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
1104
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
1105
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
1107
* Fix 'make check-dist-tarball' failure by converting paths to unicode when

1111
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
1112
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
1114
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
1115
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
1116
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
1117
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1119
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
1121
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
1122
(Vincent Ladeuil, #346593)
1124
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
1125
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
1126
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
1127
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
1128
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
1130
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
1131
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
1132
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its

1138
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX. Several minor issues (mostly
1139
test related) have been fixed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355273).
1141
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
1142
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
1145
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.

* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous versions of bzr are now removed.
1170
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
1171
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
1174
* New abstract ``UIFactory`` method ``get_username`` which will be called to
1175
obtain the username to use when connecting to remote machines.
1178
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
1179
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
1180
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
1182
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
1183
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
1184
Meinel, Robert Collins)
1186
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
1187
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
1188
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
1189
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
1192
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
1193
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
1196
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
1199
* The ``Serializer`` class and the serializer ``format registry`` have moved
1200
from ``bzrlib.xml_serializer`` to ``bzrlib.serializer``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1202
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
1203
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
1204
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
1205
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1207
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
1208
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
1209
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
1214
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
1215
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
1216
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
1217
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
1218
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1220
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
1221
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
1223
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
1224
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
1225
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
1226
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
1232
* Added ``chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string maps.
1233
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1235
* Added ``bzrlib.chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string
1236
maps. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1238
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
1239
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
1240
streaming on the the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1242
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
1243
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
1244
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
1245
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1247
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
1248
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
1249
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
1250
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1252
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
1253
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
1254
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1256
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
1257
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
1258
dependency. (Robert Collins)
1260
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
1261
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
1262
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1264
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
1265
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
1268
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
1269
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
1270
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
1272
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
1273
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1275
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
1276
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
1277
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1279
* New hook ``RioVersionInfoBuilder.revision``, allowing extra entries
1280
to be added to the stanza that is printed for a particular revision.
1283
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
1284
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
1285
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1287
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
1288
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
1289
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
1290
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
1291
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
1293
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
1294
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
1295
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
1296
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1298
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
1299
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
1300
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
1301
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1303
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
1304
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
1305
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1307
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
1308
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
1311
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
1312
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
1313
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
1315
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
1316
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
1317
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
1318
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
1319
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
1321
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
1322
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only linux
1323
machine work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,
1326
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
1327
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
1328
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
1329
desired. (Robert Collins)
1331
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include
1332
information about ghosts when the special revision ``include-missing:``
1333
is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
1334
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1336
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
1337
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
1338
regardless of ``InterRepository``.

:1.13rc1: 2009-03-10
1350
GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``. Debug
1351
flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``. Lightweight checkouts and
1352
stacked branches should both be much faster over remote connections.
1354
Changes From 1.13.1 to 1.13.2
1355
*****************************
1357
A regression was found in the 1.13.1 release. When bzr 1.13.1 and earlier push
1358
a stacked branch they do not take care to push all the parent inventories for
1359
the transferred revisions. This means that a smart server serving that branch
1360
often cannot calculate inventory deltas for the branch (because smart server
1361
does not/cannot open fallback repositories). Prior to 1.13 the server did not
1362
have a verb to stream revisions out of a repository, so that's why this bug has
1368
* Fix for bug 354036 ErrorFromSmartServer - AbsentContentFactory object has no
1369
attribute 'get_bytes_as' exception while pulling from Launchpad
1370
(Jean-Francois Roy, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1372
Changes From 1.13final to 1.13.1
1373
********************************
1375
A couple regessions where found in the 1.13 release. The pyrex-generated C
1376
extensions are missing from the .tar.gz and .zip files. Documentation on how
1377
to generate GNU ChangeLogs is wrong.
1382
* Change ``./bzr``'s ``_script_version`` to match ./bzrlib/__init__.py
1383
version_info. (Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, #345232)
1385
* Distribution archives for 1.13 do not contain generated C extension modules
1386
(Jean-Francois Roy, Bob Tanner, #344465)
1388
* GNU ChangeLog output can now be produced by bzr log --format gnu-changelog is
1389
incorrect (Deejay, Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #343928)
1391
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
1393
Changes From 1.13rc1 to 1.13final
1394
*********************************
1396
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
1397
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
1398
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
1400
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
1401
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
1403
Compatibility Breaks
1404
********************
1406
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
1407
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
1408
command may need to be adjusted.
1409
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1414
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
1415
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
1416
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
1418
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
1421
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
1422
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
1423
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
1426
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
1427
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
1429
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
1430
(John Arbash Meinel)
1432
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
1433
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
1435
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernoij)
1437
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
1438
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
1441
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
1447
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
1448
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
1449
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
1450
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
1451
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
1452
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
1453
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
1454
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
1457
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
1458
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
1460
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
1461
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
1462
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
1464
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
1465
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
1467
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
1468
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
1469
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
1472
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
1473
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
1474
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1476
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
1477
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
1478
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
1479
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1481
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
1484
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
1485
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
1487
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
1488
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
1490
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
1491
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
1492
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
1494
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
1499
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
1500
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
1502
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
1503
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
1504
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
1506
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
1507
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
1508
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
1510
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
1511
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
1513
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
1514
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
1517
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
1518
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
1519
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
1521
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
1522
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
1524
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
1525
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
1527
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
1528
(James Westby, #174539)
1530
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
1531
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
1533
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
1534
error branching from old repositories.
1535
(Martin Pool, #321695)
1537
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
1538
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
1540
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
1541
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
1542
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
1543
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1545
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
1546
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko,
1549
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
1550
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
1552
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
1553
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
1555
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
1556
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
1557
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1559
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
1560
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
1562
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.
1563
(Benoît Pierre, Aaron Bentley)
1568
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
1569
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
1570
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
1573
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
1574
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
1576
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.
1577
(Daniel Watkins, #327421, #327425)
1582
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
1583
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
1584
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
1585
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
1586
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
1588
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
1589
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1591
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
1592
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
1593
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
1594
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
1595
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
1596
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
1598
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
1599
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
1601
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
1602
"author" argument being deprecated.
1604
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
1606
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
1607
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
1608
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
1609
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
1611
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
1612
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
1613
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
1615
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
1616
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
1617
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
1619
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
1620
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
1622
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
1623
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
1624
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
1625
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
1630
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
1631
free of virtual file system methods.
1632
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1634
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
1635
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
1636
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
1638
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
1639
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
1640
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
1641
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
1642
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
1643
(Robert Collins, #334187)
1645
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
1647
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
1648
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
1650
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
1651
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
1652
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
1653
stream the operation.
1654
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1656
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
1657
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
1659
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
1660
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
1661
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
1662
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
1663
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
1665
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
1666
branch object. (Robert Collins)
1668
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
1669
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
1670
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
1672
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
1673
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
1676
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
1679
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
1680
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
1681
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1683
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
1684
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
1685
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1687
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
1688
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
1689
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1691
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
1692
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
1693
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1695
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
1696
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
1697
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
1698
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
1699
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
1701
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
1702
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
1703
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
1704
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
1705
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
1706
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
1708
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
1709
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
1710
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
1711
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
1712
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1714
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
1715
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1717
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
1718
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
1720
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
1721
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
1722
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
1723
to access private data in record to obtain content more
1724
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
1726
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
1727
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.

1738
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
1739
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
1740
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
1741
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
1742
by showing the rate of network IO.
1744
Changes from RC1 to Final
1745
*************************
1747
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
1748
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
1750
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
1751
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
1753
Compatibility Breaks
1754
********************
1756
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
1757
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
1758
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
1759
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
1761
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
1762
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
1763
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
1766
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
1767
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
1768
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
1769
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1771
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
1772
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
1773
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
1776
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1781
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
1782
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
1783
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
1786
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
1787
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
1788
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
1790
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
1791
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
1792
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
1793
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
1794
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
1795
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
1796
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
1797
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
1798
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
1804
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
1807
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
1810
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
1811
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
1812
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
1814
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
1815
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
1816
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
1817
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
1818
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
1820
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
1821
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
1823
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
1824
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
1825
level for better precision.
1828
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
1829
rules. (Marius Kruger)
1831
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
1832
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
1833
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
1835
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
1836
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
1837
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
1840
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
1841
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
1842
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
1847
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
1849
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
1851
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
1852
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
1853
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
1855
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
1856
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
1857
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
1858
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
1859
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
1860
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
1862
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
1863
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
1865
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
1866
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
1868
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
1869
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
1870
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
1872
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
1873
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
1874
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
1877
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
1878
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
1880
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
1881
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
1882
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
1883
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
1885
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
1886
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
1888
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1890
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)
1895
* Improved plugin developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
1900
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
1901
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
1904
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
1905
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1907
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
1908
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1910
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
1911
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1913
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
1914
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
1915
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
1916
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
1918
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
1919
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
1920
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
1925
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
1926
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
1927
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
1928
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
1929
compile buffers, are such an example).
1932
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
1933
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
1936
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
1937
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
1938
efficient way of doing the mapping.
1941
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
1942
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
1944
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
1945
formatters to retrict the output.

##############################
1952
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
1953
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
1954
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
1955
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
1956
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
1958
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
1959
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
1962
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
1963
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.
1968
* Fix failing test when CompiledChunksToLines is not available.
1971
* Stacked branches don't repeatedly open their transport connection.

(John Arbash Meinel)
1976
bzr 1.11rc1 "Eyes up!" 2009-01-09
1977
#################################
1982
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
1983
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1988
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
1989
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
1991
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
1992
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
1993
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
1994
implement other plugins.
1997
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
2003
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
2004
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
2006
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
2007
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
2009
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
2010
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
2011
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
2012
processes which drag in shell extensions.
2015
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
2016
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
2017
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
2018
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
2019
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
2021
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
2022
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
2023
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
2024
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
2025
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
2030
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
2031
control directory. (#139691)
2033
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
2034
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
2036
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
2037
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
2039
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
2040
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
2041
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
2043
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
2044
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
2046
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
2047
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
2048
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
2050
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
2051
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
2053
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
2056
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
2057
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
2058
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
2060
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
2061
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
2063
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
2064
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
2065
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
2067
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
2068
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
2069
in the appropriate sections.
2070
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
2072
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
2073
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
2074
(John Arbash meinel)
2076
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
2077
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
2079
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
2080
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
2082
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
2083
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
2085
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
2086
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
2087
work better with how it splits its requests.
2088
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
2090
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
2091
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
2092
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
2094
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
2097
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
2099
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
2100
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
2102
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
2108
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
2109
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
2110
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
2116
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
2117
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
2118
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
2119
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2121
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
2122
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
2124
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
2125
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
2126
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
2127
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
2129
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
2130
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
2131
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
2132
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
2137
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
2138
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
2139
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
2141
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
2142
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
2143
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
2144
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
2146
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
2147
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
2148
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
2154
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
2155
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
2156
(John Arbash Meinel)
2158
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
2159
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
2160
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
2161
(John Arbash Meinel)
2163
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
2164
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
2165
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
2166
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
2168
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
2169
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
2170
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
2172
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
2173
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
2174
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
2175
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
2177
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
2178
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
2179
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
2180
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
2181
(John Arbash Meinel)
2183
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
2184
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
2186
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
2187
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
2188
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
2190
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
2191
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
2192
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
2193
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
2195
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
2196
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
2197
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
2198
(John Arbash Meinel)
2200
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
2201
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
2202
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
2203
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
2204
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
2205
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
2206
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
2208
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
2209
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)
2216
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
2217
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
2218
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
2219
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
2222
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
2227
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
2228
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
2229
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
2230
(Martin Pool, #303856)
2232
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
2233
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
2234
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
2235
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
2236
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)
2239

######################
2242
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
2243
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
2244
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
2245
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
2246
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
2251
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
2252
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2254
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
2260
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
2261
history just to set the last revision info.
2262
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2264
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
2265
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
2266
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
2267
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2269
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
2270
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
2271
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
2272
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
2273
(John Arbash Meinel)
2275
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
2276
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2278
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
2279
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
2280
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
2281
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
2282
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
2284
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
2285
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
2286
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
2287
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
2292
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
2293
(Martin Pool, #289148)
2295
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
2296
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
2298
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
2299
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
2300
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
2301
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
2303
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
2304
starting with a dotted revno.
2305
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
2307
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
2308
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
2309
(Martin Pool, #288751)
2311
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
2312
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
2313
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
2315
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
2316
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
2317
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
2319
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
2320
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
2321
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
2322
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
2324
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
2325
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
2326
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
2328
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
2329
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
2334
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
2335
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
2336
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
2337
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
2339
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
2340
have changed incompatibly.
2342
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
2343
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
2344
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
2345
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
2346
don't need to change.
2348
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
2349
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
2354
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
2355
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
2357
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
2363
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
2364
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
2365
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
2366
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
2367
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
2368
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
2373
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
2374
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
2376
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
2378
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
2379
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.

#####################
2389
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
2390
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
2392
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
2393
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
2394
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
2395
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
2400
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
2401
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
2402
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
2403
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
2404
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
2405
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
2407
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
2408
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
2410
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
2411
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
2412
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
2414
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
2415
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
2416
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
2419
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
2420
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
2422
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
2423
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
2425
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
2426
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
2428
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
2429
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
2430
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
2431
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
2432
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
2433
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
2434
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
2435
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
2436
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
2437
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
2442
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
2443
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
2445
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
2446
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
2448
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
2449
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
2450
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
2452
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
2453
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
2454
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
2456
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
2457
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
2458
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
2460
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
2461
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
2462
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
2463
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
2464
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
2465
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
2467
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
2468
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
2470
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
2471
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
2473
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
2474
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
2475
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
2476
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
2477
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
2479
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
2480
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
2481
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
2482
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
2487
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
2492
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
2497
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
2498
configuration of authetication credentials.
2504
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
2505
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
2506
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
2507
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
2508
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
2513
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
2514
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
2519
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
2520
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
2523
bzr 1.8rc1 2008-10-07
2524
#####################
2529
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
2530
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
2531
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
2532
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
2533
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
2535
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
2536
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
2538
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
2539
server. (Marius Kruger)
2541
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
2542
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
2543
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
2544
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
2545
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
2546
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
2551
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
2552
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
2553
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
2555
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
2560
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
2561
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
2562
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
2563
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
2565
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
2566
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
2569
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
2570
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
2573
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
2576
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
2578
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
2579
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
2581
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
2582
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
2584
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
2585
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
2586
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
2587
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
2588
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
2589
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
2590
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
2591
operations. (Robert Collins)
2593
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
2595
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
2596
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
2597
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
2602
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
2603
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
2604
(Martin Pool, #279381)
2606
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
2607
repository now preserves the repository format.
2608
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
2610
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
2611
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
2613
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
2614
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
2616
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
2618
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
2620
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
2623
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
2624
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
2625
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
2627
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
2628
is in a different repository than the current one.
2629
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
2631
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
2632
(David Futcher, #242106)
2634
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
2635
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2637
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
2638
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
2639
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
2640
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
2642
* Trivial documentation fix.
2643
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
2645
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
2646
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
2647
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
2648
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
2653
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
2658
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
2659
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
2660
to use. (Robert Collins)
2662
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
2663
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
2664
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
2666
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
2667
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
2668
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
2669
they want. (Robert Collins)
2674
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
2675
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
2676
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
2678
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
2679
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
2682
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
2685
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
2686
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
2688
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
2694
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
2695
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
2697
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
2698
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
2699
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
2701
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
2702
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
2703
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
2705
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
2706
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2708
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
2709
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
2711
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
2712
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
2714
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
2715
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
2716
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
2717
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept

2731
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
2732
file paths when we encounter complex history.
2737
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
2738
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
2739
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
2740
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.

2747
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
2748
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
2749
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
2750
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
2751
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
2752
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.

This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few

performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
2792
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown

2801
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
2804
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
2805
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
2806
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
2808
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
2809
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
2810
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
2815
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
2816
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
2818
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
2823
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
2824
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
2827
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
2828
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
2830
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
2831
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
2834
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
2835
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
2836
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
2837
(John Arbash Meinel)
2839
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
2840
(Martin Pool, #261315)
2842
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
2843
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
2844
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
2845
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
2846
(John Arbash Meinel)
2848
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
2849
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
2850
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
2851
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
2852
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
2853
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
2854
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
2855
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
2856
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
2857
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
2862
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
2863
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
2865
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
2866
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
2867
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
2869
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
2870
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
2871
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
2873
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
2874
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
2875
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
2876
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
2877
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
2878
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
2880
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
2881
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
2883
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
2884
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
2886
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
2887
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
2888
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
2889
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
2890
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
2891
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
2893
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
2894
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
2896
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
2897
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
2899
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
2900
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
2901
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
2902
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
2904
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
2905
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
2907
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
2908
assuming the host name is ascii.
2909
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
2911
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
2912
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
2917
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
2922
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
2924
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
2925
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
2926
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
2929
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
2930
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2932
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
2933
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
2935
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
2936
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
2941
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
2942
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
2943
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
2944
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
2946
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
2950
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
2951
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
2952
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2954
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
2960
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
2961
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
2964
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
2965
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
2966
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
2967
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
2968
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2970
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
2971
is unknown in both source and target.
2972
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
2974
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
2975
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
2976
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
2977
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2979
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
2980
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
2981
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
2982
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

####################
2988
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
2989
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
2990
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
2993
bzr 1.6.1rc2 2008-09-03
2994
#######################
2999
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
3000
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
3001
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
3002
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
3005
bzr 1.6.1rc1 2008-08-29
3006
#######################
3008
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
3009
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
3010
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
3011
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
3012
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
3013
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
3014
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
3015
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
3016
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
3017
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
3018
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
3019
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
3024
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
3025
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
3026
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
3027
start of the string (causing more copies).
3028
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
3029
especially for projects with large files.
3030
(John Arbash Meinel)
3032
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
3033
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
3034
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
3035
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
3036
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
3038
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
3039
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
3040
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
3041
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
3042
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.
3043
(John Arbash Meinel, #262333)
3049
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
3050
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
3051
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
3052
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
3053
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
3054
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
3055
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
3056
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
3057
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
3060
bzr 1.6rc5 2008-08-19
3061
#####################
3066
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
3067
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
3068
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
3069
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
3070
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
3073
bzr 1.6rc4 2008-08-18
3074
#####################
3079
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
3080
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
3081
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
3084
bzr 1.6rc3 2008-08-14
3085
#####################
3090
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
3091
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
3097
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
3098
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
3099
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
3105
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
3106
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
3107
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
3109
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
3110
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
3111
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
3112
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
3113
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
3114
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
3115
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
3118
bzr 1.6rc2 2008-08-13
3119
#####################
3121
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
3127
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
3128
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
3130
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
3131
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
3134
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
3135
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
3136
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
3137
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
3138
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
3140
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
3141
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3143
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
3144
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
3146
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
3147
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
3149
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
3150
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
3151
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
3152
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
3153
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
3154
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
3157
bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
3158
#####################
3160
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
3161
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
3162
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
3163
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
3164
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
3169
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
3170
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
3171
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
3176
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
3177
check. (Daniel Watkins)
3179
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
3180
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
3182
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
3183
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
3184
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3186
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
3189
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
3190
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
3191
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
3192
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
3193
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
3194
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
3195
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
3197
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
3198
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
3199
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
3204
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
3205
physical repository boundaries.
3206
(Martin Pool, #252428)
3208
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
3209
(Martin Pool, #206258)
3211
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
3212
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
3215
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
3218
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
3219
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
3220
that Python is running from.
3221
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
3223
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
3224
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
3225
(Robert Collins, #150438)
3227
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
3228
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
3230
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
3231
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
3232
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
3234
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
3235
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
3237
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
3238
(James Westby, #248448)
3243
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
3244
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
3245
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
3248
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
3249
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
3252
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
3253
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
3254
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
3255
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
3256
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
3257
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
3260
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
3261
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
3263
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
3264
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
3265
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
3266
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
3267
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
3268
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
3273
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
3274
putting together a real history without having to create a full
3275
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
3276
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
3277
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
3278
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3280
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
3281
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
3282
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
3284
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
3287
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
3288
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
3290
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.

#######################
3297
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
3298
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
3299
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
3300
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
3306
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
3307
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
3308
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
3310
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
3311
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
3312
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
3313
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
3314
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
3317
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
3319
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
3320
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
3321
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
3327
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
3328
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
3331
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
3332
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
3333
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
3334
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
3336
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
3337
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
3338
(Christophe Troestler)
3340
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
3341
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
3343
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
3344
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
3345
faster. The new request method name is
3346
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3351
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
3352
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
3353
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
3354
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
3355
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
3357
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
3358
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
3360
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
3361
requires a branch to be present.
3362
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
3364
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
3366
(Martin Pool, #205230)
3368
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
3369
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
3370
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
3371
(Martin Pool, #240161)
3373
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
3374
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
3376
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
3378
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
3380
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
3381
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
3382
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
3383
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
3384
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
3386
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
3387
(Martin Pool, #172870)
3389
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
3390
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
3392
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
3394
(Matt McClure, #209281)
3396
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
3397
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
3399
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
3400
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
3405
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
3408
* Updated developer documentation.
3414
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
3415
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
3417
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
3418
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
3419
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
3420
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
3425
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
3426
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
3427
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
3428
Repository docstring for more details.
3431
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
3432
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
3433
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
3435
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
3436
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
3439
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
3440
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
3441
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
3442
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
3447
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
3448
(Alexander Belchenko)
3450
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
3451
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
3452
containing a given location.
3455
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
3456
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
3457
storage. (Robert Collins)
3459
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
3462
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
3463
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.

3470
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
3471
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
3472
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
3478
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
3479
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
3480
reading from the repository.)
3481
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
3483
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
3484
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
3486
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
3487
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
3490
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
3491
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
3492
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
3494
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
3495
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
3496
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
3498
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
3499
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
3501
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
3502
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
3503
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
3504
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
3509
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
3511
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
3512
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
3513
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
3516
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
3517
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
3522
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
3527
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
3528
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
3533
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
3534
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
3535
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
3536
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
3537
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
3539
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
3540
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
3545
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
3546
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
3548
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
3549
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)

3552
#######################
3555
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
3556
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
3557
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
3558
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
3559
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
3560
and future extensions.
3563
Notes When Upgrading
3564
********************
3566
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
3567
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
3568
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
3569
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
3570
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
3571
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
3572
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
3573
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
3578
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
3579
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
3580
(John Arbash Meinel)
3585
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
3586
load. (James Westby)
3591
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
3592
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
3593
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
3594
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
3596
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
3597
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
3598
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
3600
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
3601
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
3603
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
3604
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
3605
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
3607
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
3608
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
3609
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
3610
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
3611
step closer to not using full revision history.
3612
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
3617
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
3618
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
3620
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
3621
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
3623
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
3624
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
3626
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
3627
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
3628
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
3629
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
3631
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
3632
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
3633
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
3634
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
3636
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
3637
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
3638
in use by another process.
3641
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
3642
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
3643
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
3644
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
3646
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
3647
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
3649
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
3650
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
3651
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
3653
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
3654
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
3655
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
3657
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
3659
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
3661
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
3662
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
3664
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
3665
under vim on Mac OS X.
3666
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
3668
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
3669
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
3674
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
3675
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
3677
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
3678
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
3681
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
3682
and about use of Python reprs.
3683
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
3685
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
3690
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
3693
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
3694
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
3696
* New helper function for splitting test suites
3697
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
3702
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
3703
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
3704
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
3705
(John Arbash Meinel)
3710
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
3711
instead. (Martin Pool)
3713
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
3714
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
3715
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
3716
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
3718
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
3719
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
3720
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
3721
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
3722
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
3724
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
3725
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
3726
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
3727
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
3728
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
3729
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
3731
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
3732
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
3735
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
3736
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
3739
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
3740
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
3741
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
3742
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
3744
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
3745
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
3746
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
3748
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
3749
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
3750
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
3751
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
3752
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
3755
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
3756
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
3757
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
3758
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
3761
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
3762
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
3763
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
3764
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
3765
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
3767
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
3774
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
3775
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
3776
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
3781
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
3782
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
3783
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
3788
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
3789
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.

3799
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
3800
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
3801
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
3802
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
3807
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
3808
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
3810
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
3811
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
3813
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
3819
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
3820
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
3822
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
3823
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
3825
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
3826
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
3827
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
3829
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
3830
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
3831
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
3833
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
3836
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
3837
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
3839
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
3840
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
3842
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
3843
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
3845
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
3846
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
3848
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
3849
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
3850
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
3852
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
3853
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
3855
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
3856
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
3858
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
3859
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
3860
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
3861
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
3863
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
3864
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
3867
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
3868
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
3869
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
3871
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
3872
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
3873
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
3874
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
3875
every revision each side had in common.
3876
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3878
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
3879
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
3881
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
3882
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
3883
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
3884
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
3889
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
3890
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
3891
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
3892
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
3894
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
3896
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
3898
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
3899
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
3904
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
3905
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
3906
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
3908
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
3909
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
3910
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
3911
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
3913
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
3914
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3916
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
3917
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
3918
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
3919
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3921
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
3922
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
3923
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
3924
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
3929
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
3930
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
3931
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
3933
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
3935
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
3936
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
3938
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
3939
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3941
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
3942
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
3947
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
3948
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
3949
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
3951
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
3952
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
3953
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
3956
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
3957
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
3960
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.
3967
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
3968
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
3969
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
3970
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
3971
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
3972
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
3973
and faster performance.
3978
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
3979

as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
4031
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
4032
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
4033
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
4034
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
4039
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
4041
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
4042
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
4043
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
4045
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
4046
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
4047
See the User Reference for signature details.
4048
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
4050
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
4051
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
4056
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
4057
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
4058
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
4059
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
4061
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
4062
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
4064
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
4065
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
4066
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
4069
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
4072
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
4073
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
4074
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
4076
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
4079
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
4080
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
4082
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
4083
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
4085
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
4086
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
4087
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
4089
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
4090
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
4091
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
4092
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
4093
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
4095
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
4096
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
4098
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
4099
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
4104
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
4105
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
4106
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
4107
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
4108
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
4109
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
4111
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
4112
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
4114
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
4115
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
4116
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
4118
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
4119
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
4121
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
4122
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
4123
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
4124
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4126
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
4127
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
4128
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
4129
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
4130
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
4132
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
4134
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
4135
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
4137
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
4139
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
4140
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
4142
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
4143
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
4148
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
4150
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
4152
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
4154
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
4159
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
4160
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
4161
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
4163
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
4164
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
4165
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
4166
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
4168
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
4169
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
4170
release. (James Westby)
4172
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
4175
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
4177
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
4178
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
4180
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
4181
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
4183
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
4184
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
4186
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
4187
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
4188
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
4190
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
4191
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
4192
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
4193
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
4195
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
4196
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
4197
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
4198
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
4200
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
4201
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
4202
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
4203
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
4204
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
4205
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
4207
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
4208
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
4209
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
4211
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
4212
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
4214
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
4215
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
4218
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
4219
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
4221
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
4222
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
4224
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
4225
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
4227
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
4228
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
4229
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
4231
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
4232
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
4233
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
4234
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
4235
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
4236
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
4241
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
4242
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
4243
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
4244
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
4246
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
4247
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
4248
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
4249
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
4253
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
4254
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
4257
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
4258
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
4260
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
4262
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
4263
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
4264
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
4269
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
4271
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
4274
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
4275
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
4276
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
4277
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
4278
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
4279
(Martin Pool, #109520)
4281
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
4282
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
4284
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
4285
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
4286
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
4287
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
4289
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
4290
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
4292
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
4293
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
4335
********************
4337
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
4338
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
4343
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
4344
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
4345
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
4346
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
4349
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
4350
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
4351
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
4352
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
4353
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
4354
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
4356
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
4357
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
4358
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
4359
(Alexander Belchenko)
4361
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
4363
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
4364
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
4369
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
4370
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
4372
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
4373
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
4379
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
4381
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
4383
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
4384
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
4385
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
4387
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
4388
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
4390
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
4391
to. (Daniel Watkins)
4393
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
4394
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
4395
(Alexander Belchenko)
4397
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
4398
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
4399
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
4400
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
4402
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
4405
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
4406
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
4407
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
4408
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
4409
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
4414
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
4415
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
4416
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
4417
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
4419
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
4420
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
4422
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
4423
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
4425
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
4426
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
4427
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
4429
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
4430
(#198793, John Ferlito)
4432
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
4435
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
4436
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
4438
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
4440
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
4442
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
4443
symlinks (James Henstridge)
4445
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
4446
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
4448
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
4449
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
4451
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
4452
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
4454
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
4455
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
4457
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
4458
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
4463
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
4464
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
4469
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
4470
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
4471
(Alexander Belchenko)
4476
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
4478
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
4479
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
4485
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
4486
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
4487
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
4489
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
4490
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
4491
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
4492
(Alexander Belchenko)
4494
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
4495
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
4496
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
4497
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
4499
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
4500
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
4501
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
4504
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
4505
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
4506
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
4508
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
4509
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
4510
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
4512
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
4513
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
4514
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
4515
format. (Robert Collins)
4524
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)

4530
Notes When Upgrading
4531
********************
4533
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
4534
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
4535
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
4536
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
4537
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
4543
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
4544
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
4546
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
4547
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
4548
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
4550
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
4551
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
4552
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
4553
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
4554
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
4555
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
4561
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
4562
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4564
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
4565
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
4566
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
4569
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
4570
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
4571
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
4572
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
4573
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
4575
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
4576
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
4577
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
4578
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
4579
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
4580
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
4581
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
4582
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
4587
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
4588
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
4590
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
4591
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
4593
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
4594
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
4596
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
4597
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
4598
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
4600
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
4601
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
4602
(John Arbash Meinel)
4607
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
4608
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
4610
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
4611
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
4613
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
4614
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
4616
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
4617
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
4618
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
4620
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
4621
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
4622
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
4624
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
4625
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
4627
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
4628
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
4629
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
4630
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
4631
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
4633
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
4635
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
4636
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
4639
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
4640
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
4642
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
4643
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
4645
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
4646
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
4648
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
4649
more characters which should be considered valid.
4650
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
4652
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
4653
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
4655
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
4656
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
4661
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
4662
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
4664
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
4665
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
4671
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
4672
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
4678
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
4679
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
4680
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
4682
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
4683
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
4684
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
4686
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
4687
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
4688
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
4689
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
4691
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
4693
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
4694
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
4695
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
4696
server. (Robert Collins)
4698
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
4699
operate. (Robert Collins)
4701
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
4702
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
4703
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
4705
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
4706
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
4707
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
4708
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
4710
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
4711
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
4713
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
4714
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
4715
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
4717
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
4718
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
4720
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
4721
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
4723
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
4724
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
4725
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
4726
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

4740
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
4741
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
4742
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
4743
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
4745
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
4746
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
4747
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
4748
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
4753
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
4756
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.

4770
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
4772
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
4774
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
4775
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
4776
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
4777
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
4778
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
4780
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
4781
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
4782
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)

* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
4816
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)

* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
4822
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)

4867
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
4870
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
4871

Notes When Upgrading
5084
********************
5086
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
5087
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
5088
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
5089
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
5091
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
5092
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
5094
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
5095
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
5097
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
5098
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
5099
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
5100
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
5101
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
5102
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
5103
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
5104
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
5105
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
5106
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
5107
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
5108
from any tree without problems.
5109
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
5114
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
5115
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
5116
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
5118
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
5119
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
5125
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
5126
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
5127
supported transports.
5130
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
5131
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
5132
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
5134
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
5135
(Robert Collins, #154173)
5137
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
5138
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
5139
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
5140
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
5142
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
5143
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
5148
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
5149
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
5150
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
5151
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5153
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
5154
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
5155
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
5156
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
5158
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
5159
(Robert Collins, #88319)
5161
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
5162
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
5164
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
5165
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
5167
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
5168
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
5174
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
5177
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
5178
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
5181
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
5182
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
5183
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
5184
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
5186
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
5187
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
5188
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
5189
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
5197
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
5198
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
5200
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
5201

5203
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
5204
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)

5221
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
5222
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).

KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
5243
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend

(Martin Pool, #164637)
5247
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
5248
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
5249
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
5251
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
5252
(Robert Collins, #161240)
5254
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
5256
(Martin Pool, #164443)
5258
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
5259
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
5261
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
5262
specify a port in urls.
5263
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
5265
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
5266
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
5268
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
5269
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
5271
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
5272
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
5274
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
5275
(Robert Collins, #153789)
5277
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
5278
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
5279
(Robert Collins, #165304).
5281
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
5283
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
5284
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
5286
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
5289
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
5290
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
5292
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
5293
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
5295
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
5296
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
5297
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
5299
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
5300
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
5302
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
5303
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
5304
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
5305
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
5307
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
5308
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
5310
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
5311
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
5312
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
5314
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
5315
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
5317
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
5318
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
5320
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
5321
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
5326
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
5327
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
5329
* The return value of
5330
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
5331
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
5332
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
5333
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
5335
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
5338
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
5339
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
5346
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
5347
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
5348
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
5351
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
5352
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
5354
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

######################
5372
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
5373
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
5375
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
5376
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
5377
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
5378
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
5379
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
5380
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
5381
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
5382
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
5383
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
5384
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
5385
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
5386
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
5392
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
5393
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
5394
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
5395
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
5396
commands. (Robert Collins)
5398
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
5399
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
5400
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
5403
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
5405
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
5406
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
5408
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
5409
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
5412
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
5413
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
5414
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
5419
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
5420
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
5422
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
5423
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
5425
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
5426
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
5427
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
5428
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
5430
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
5433
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
5434
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
5435
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
5436
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
5438
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
5439
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
5441
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
5442
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
5444
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
5445
the contents. (Robert Collins)
5447
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
5448
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
5453
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
5454
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
5456
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
5457
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
5459
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
5460
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
5462
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
5463
(Martin Pool, #63894)
5465
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
5466
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
5471
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
5473
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
5479
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
5480
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
5481
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
5483
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
5484
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
5486
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
5487
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
5489
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
5490
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
5491
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
5492
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
5494
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
5495
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
5496
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
5497
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
5498
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
5500
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
5501
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
5503
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
5505
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
5507
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
5508
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
5510
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
5511
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
5513
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
5514
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
5516
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
5517
contains a symbolic link.
5518
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
5520
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
5521
(James Westby, #140615)
5523
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
5524
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
5525
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
5527
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
5528
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
5529
(Martin Pool, #144633)
5531
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5533
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
5534
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
5536
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
5538
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
5540
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
5541
directory to detect leaking tests.
5542
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
5544
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
5545
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
5546
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
5548
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
5551
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
5552
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
5554
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
5560
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
5561
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
5563
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
5564
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
5565
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
5567
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
5568
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
5569
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
5571
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
5572
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
5574
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
5575
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
5577
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
5578
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
5581
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
5582
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
5584
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
5585
class that needs it.
5588
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
5589
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
5591
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
5592
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
5593
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
5595
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
5596
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
5597
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
5600
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
5601
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
5602
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
5603
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
5609
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
5610
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
5611
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
5613
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
5614
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
5615
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
5616
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
5618
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
5619
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
5622
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
5623
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
5624
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
5626
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
5627
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
5628
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
5630
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
5631
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
5633
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
5634
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
5635
to complete. (Robert Collins)
5637
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
5638
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
5640
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
5641
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
5642
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
5644
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
5645
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
5646
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
5648
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
5649
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
5650
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
5651
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
5653
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
5654
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
5655
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
5656
returned. (Robert Collins)
5658
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
5659
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
5661
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
5662
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
5663
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
5664
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
5667
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
5668
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
5673
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
5674
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
5676
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
5677
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
5678
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
5679
makes this behavior available to other users.
5682
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
5683
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
5692
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
5693
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
5694
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
5696
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
5698
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
5699
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
5700
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
5701
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
5703
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
5704
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
5708
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
5709
######################
5711
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
5712
in bzrlib/remote.py.
5715
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
5716
######################
5721
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
5722
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
5723
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
5724
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
5727
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
5728
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
5729
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
5735
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
5736
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
5737
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
5740
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
5741
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
5742
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
5744
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
5745
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
5746
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
5748
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
5749
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
5751
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
5752
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
5753
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
5754
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
5755
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
5756
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
5757
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
5758
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
5759
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
5760
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
5762
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
5763
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
5765
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
5766
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
5767
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
5772
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
5773
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
5775
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
5776
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
5777
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
5779
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
5780
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
5782
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
5783
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
5785
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
5788
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
5789
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
5791
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
5792
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
5794
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
5795
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5797
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
5798
(Blake Winton, #129299)
5800
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
5802
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
5805
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
5806
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
5807
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
5808
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
5810
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5812
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
5813
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
5816
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
5817
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
5819
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the

5824
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)

* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
5827
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
5829
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
5830
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
5831
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
5832
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
5833
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
5834
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.

* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
5838
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)

* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
5841
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)

* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
5854
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
5856
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
5857
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
5858
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)

* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
5868
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
5870
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
5873
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
5876
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.

5879
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
5881
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.

5884
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
5885
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
5887
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
5888
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
5889
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
5890
space). (Robert Collins)
5892
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
5893
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
5896
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
5897
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5899
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
5900
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
5902
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
5903
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
5904
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
5905
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
5907
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
5908
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
5909
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
5912
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
5915
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
5916
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
5917
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
5919
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
5920
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
5921
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
5922
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
5923
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
5928
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
5929
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
5931
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
5932
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
5933
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
5934
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
5935
affected. (Robert Collins)
5937
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
5938
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
5939
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
5942
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
5943
previous release. (Martin Pool)
5948
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
5949
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
5951
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
5952
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5954
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
5955
previous release. (Martin Pool)
5957
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
5960
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
5961
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5966
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
5967
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
5968
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
5969
its version information. (Robert Collins)
5971
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
5972
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
5974
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
5975
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
5976
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
5977
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
5979
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
5980
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
5981
present. (Robert Collins)
5983
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
5984
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
5985
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
5986
API. (Robert Collins)
5988
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
5989
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
5992
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
5993
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
5995
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
5996
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
5997
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
5998
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
5999
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
6000
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
6002
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
6003
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
6004
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
6006
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
6007
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
6008
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
6009
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
6012
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
6015
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
6016
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
6017
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
6018
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
6019
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
6020
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
6021
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
6023
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
6024
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
6025
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
6026
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
6028
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
6029
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
6030
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
6031
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
6032
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
6033
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
6035
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
6036
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
6037
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
6039
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
6040
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
6049
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
6050
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
6051
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
6052
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
6053
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
6054
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
6055
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
6056
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
6062
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
6063
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
6064
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)

* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
6074

6086
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
6087
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.

* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
6091
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
6094
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
6097
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists

* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
6101
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)

* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
6104
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)

6109
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
6110
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
6112
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
6118
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
6119
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
6121
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
6122
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
6124
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
6125
the repository (Robert Collins)
6127
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
6128
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
6129
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
6130
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
6131
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
6133
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
6134
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
6136
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
6137
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
6138
(John Arbash Meinel)
6140
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
6141
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
6142
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
6144
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
6145
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
6146
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
6147
(John Arbash Meinel)
6149
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
6150
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
6153
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
6154
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
6156
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
6159
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
6161
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
6163
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
6164
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
6166
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
6167
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
6170
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
6171
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
6172
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
6173
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
6175
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
6176
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
6177
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
6179
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
6180
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
6181
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
6183
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
6184
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
6186
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
6187
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
6188
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
6189
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
6190
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
6191
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
6194
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
6195
(Alexander Belchenko)
6197
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
6198
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
6200
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
6201
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
6203
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
6205
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
6206
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
6211
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
6212
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
6213
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
6214
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
6216
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
6218
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
6221
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
6222
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
6223
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
6224
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
6225
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
6226
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
6231
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
6232
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
6233
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
6234
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
6236
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
6237
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
6238
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
6239
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
6240
tests have been refactored too.
6243
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
6244
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
6245
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
6249
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
6250
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
6251
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
6253
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
6254
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
6255
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
6256
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
6257
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
6258
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
6259
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
6261
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
6262
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
6263
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
6264
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
6265
(John Arbash Meinel)
6267
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
6268
functionality for testing.
6270
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
6272
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
6273
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
6275
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
6277
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
6280
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
6281
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
6283
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
6284
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
6285
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
6287
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
6290
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
6291
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
6293
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
6294
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
6295
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
6296
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
6298
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
6299
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
6301
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
6302
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
6303
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
6305
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
6308
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
6309
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
6310
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
6311
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
6312
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
6313
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
6315
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
6316
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
6317
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
6318
many files. (Robert Collins)
6320
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
6321
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
6322
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
6323
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
6328
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
6329
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
6330
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
6332
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
6333
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
6335
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
6336
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
6337
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
6383
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
6384
individually and as part of revision ranges.
6385
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
6387
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
6388
(Martin Pool, #109169)
6390
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
6391
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
6393
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
6394
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
6396
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
6398
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
6403
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
6404
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
6405
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
6406
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
6407
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
6408
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
6410
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
6411
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
6412
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
6414
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
6417
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
6418
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
6420
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
6421
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
6423
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
6424
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
6426
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
6427
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
6428
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
6429
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
6430
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
6432
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
6433
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
6435
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
6436
can be slow it is useful feedback).
6437
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
6439
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
6440
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
6442
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
6444
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
6445
output. (Aaron Bentley)
6447
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
6448
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
6451
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
6454
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
6455
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
6457
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
6458
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
6460
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
6461
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
6463
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
6465
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
6466
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
6468
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
6474
* Testing cleanups -
6475
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
6476
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
6477
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
6478
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
6479
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to

``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to

``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
6484
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.

``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
6486
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
6487
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
6488
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
6489
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
6490
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
6491
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
6494
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
6496
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
6497
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
6498
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
6500
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
6501
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
6503
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
6504
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6506
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
6508
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
6509
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
6510
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
6511
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
6512
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
6513
same location. (Robert Collins)
6518
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
6520
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
6522
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
6524
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
6527
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
6530
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
6531
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
6532
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
6534
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
6536
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
6537
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
6538
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
6540
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
6541
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
6543
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
6544
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
6545
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
6547
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
6548
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
6549
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
6551
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
6552
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
6553
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
6555
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
6556
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
6559
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
6560
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
6562
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
6563
(Alexander Belchenko)
6568
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
6569
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
6570
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
6571
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
6573
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
6574
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
6575
testing. (Robert Collins)
6577
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
6578
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
6580
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
6581
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
6582
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
6583
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
6584
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
6585
attribute during the test parameterisation in
6586
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
6588
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
6589
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
6590
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
6591
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
6593
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
6594
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
6596
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
6597
avoid useless cloning.

Notes When Upgrading
6618
********************
6620
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
6621
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
6622
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
6623
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
6624
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
6625
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
6626
and unlock() like so::
6628
work_tree.lock_read()
6630
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
6636
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
6637
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
6639
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
6640
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
6641
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
6643
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
6644
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
6645
too. (Robert Collins)
6650
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
6651
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
6654
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
6655
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
6657
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
6658
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
6660
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
6661
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
6662
understanding what changes have occurred
6663
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
6665
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
6666
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
6667
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
6669
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
6670
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
6671
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
6672
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
6674
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
6680
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
6681
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
6682
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
6683
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
6684
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
6686
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
6687
based on split paths, not just string paths.
6688
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
6690
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
6691
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
6693
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
6695
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
6697
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
6698
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
6700
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
6701
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
6703
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
6704
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
6706
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
6707
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
6709
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
6710
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
6712
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
6713
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
6714
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
6717
####################
6722
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
6723
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
6724
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
6725
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
6726
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
6728
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
6729
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
6730
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
6732
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
6733
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
6738
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
6739
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
6740
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
6742
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
6743
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
6744
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
6745
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
6747
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30

#######################
6753
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
6754
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
6755
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
6756
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
6758
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
6759
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
6760
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
6762
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
6763
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
6765
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
6766
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
6768
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
6769
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

6774
Notes When Upgrading
6775
********************
6777
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
6778
it could be recovered again.
6779
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
6780
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
6781
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
6783
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
6785
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
6786
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
6791
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
6792
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
6794
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
6795
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
6796
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
6797
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
6799
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
6800
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
6802
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
6803
tests with names that match that regular expression.
6804
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
6806
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
6807
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
6808
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
6810
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
6811
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
6812
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
6814
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
6815
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
6818
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
6821
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
6822
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
6823
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
6824
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
6826
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
6829
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
6830
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
6831
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
6834
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
6835
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
6837
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
6838
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
6840
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
6841
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
6842
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
6843
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
6846
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
6847
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
6849
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
6850
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
6852
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
6853
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
6854
(Robert Collins, #107125).
6856
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
6857
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
6858
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
6860
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
6861
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
6862
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
6864
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
6865
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
6866
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
6867
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
6869
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
6870
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
6871
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
6872
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
6874
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
6875
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
6876
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
6877
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
6878
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
6879
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
6880
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
6881
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
6888
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
6889
code paths. (Robert Collins)
6891
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
6892
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
6893
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
6894
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
6895
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
6897
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
6898
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
6900
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
6901
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
6903
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
6904
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
6906
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
6907
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
6909
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
6910
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
6911
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
6914
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
6915
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
6916
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
6917
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
6918
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
6921
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
6922
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
6923
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
6925
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
6926
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
6929
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
6930
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
6931
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
6934
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
6935
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
6936
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
6937
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
6938
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
6940
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
6941
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
6942
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
6943
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
6945
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
6946
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
6948
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
6949
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
6950
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
6951
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
6952
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
6953
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
6955
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
6956
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
6958
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
6959
help. (Robert Collins)
6961
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
6962
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
6964
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
6965
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
6966
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
6967
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
6968
(John Arbash Meinel)
6970
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
6971
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
6972
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
6973
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
6974
useful. (Robert Collins)
6976
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
6982
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
6983
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
6985
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
6986
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
6988
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
6989
properly and is no longer beneficial.
6990
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
6992
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
6995
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
6996
the file, and does it faster.
6997
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
6999
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
7000
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
7001
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
7003
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
7004
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
7005
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
7006
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
7008
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
7009
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
7010
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
7011
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
7013
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
7014
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
7016
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
7017
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
7018
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
7019
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
7022
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
7024
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
7025
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
7027
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
7028
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
7030
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
7031
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
7032
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
7033
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
7037
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
7038
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
7043
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
7044
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
7045
in running it. (Robert Collins)
7047
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
7048
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
7050
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
7051
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
7052
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
7053
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
7054
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
7055
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
7056
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
7057
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7059
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
7060
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
7061
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7063
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
7064
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
7065
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
7066
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
7067
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
7069
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7071
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
7072
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
7073
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
7075
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
7076
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
7085
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
7088
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
7089
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
7092
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
7093
#######################
7098
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
7099
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
7105
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
7106
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
7107
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
7108
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
7109
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
7110
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
7111
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
7112
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
7118
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
7119
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
7120
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
7122
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
7123
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
7126
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
7127
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
7128
(John Arbash Meinel)
7130
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
7131
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
7132
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
7133
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
7134
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
7139
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
7142
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
7143
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
7145
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
7146
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
7148
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
7149
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
7150
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
7152
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
7153
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
7155
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
7156
last-changed-revision for directories. The
7157
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
7158
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
7159
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
7161
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
7162
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
7163
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
7165
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

7171
Notes When Upgrading
7172
********************
7174
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
7175
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
7176
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
7181
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
7182
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
7184
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
7185
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
7187
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
7189
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
7190
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
7192
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
7193
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
7198
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
7204
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
7205
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
7206
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
7207
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
7209
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
7210
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
7212
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
7213
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
7215
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
7218
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
7219
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
7222
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
7223
#######################
7228
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
7229
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
7230
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
7231
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
7232
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
7233
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
7235
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
7236
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
7237
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
7238
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
7239
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
7240
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
7242
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
7244
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
7245
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
7246
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
7247
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
7248
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
7249
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
7250
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
7251
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
7256
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
7257
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
7259
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
7260
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
7261
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
7262
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
7264
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
7265
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
7266
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
7267
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
7268
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
7270
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
7273
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
7276
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
7279
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
7280
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
7283
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
7286
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
7287
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
7289
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
7290
directory. (Martin Pool)
7292
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
7293
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
7294
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
7295
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
7297
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
7298
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
7299
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
7300
in docs/configuration.txt.
7302
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
7303
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
7306
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
7307
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
7308
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
7309
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
7310
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
7311
repositories. (Martin Pool)
7313
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
7314
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
7316
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
7317
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
7319
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
7325
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
7326
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
7327
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
7328
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
7329
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
7330
(John Arbash Meinel)
7332
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
7333
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
7336
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
7337
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
7338
(John Arbash Meinel)
7340
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
7341
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
7342
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
7343
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
7344
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
7345
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
7347
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
7348
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
7349
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
7351
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
7352
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
7353
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
7354
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
7356
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
7358
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
7359
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
7360
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
7361
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
7363
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
7364
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
7365
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
7366
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
7368
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
7369
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
7370
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
7372
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
7373
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
7374
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
7376
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
7377
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
7378
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
7379
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
7381
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
7382
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
7383
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
7385
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
7386
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
7387
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
7389
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
7390
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
7391
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
7392
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
7393
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
7394
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
7395
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
7396
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
7397
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
7398
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
7399
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
7404
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
7405
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
7406
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
7408
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
7411
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
7412
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
7413
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
7414
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
7416
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional

7426
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.

* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
7487
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly

* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
7498
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
7499
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
7500
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
7501
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
7502
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
7504
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
7505
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
7506
should enable you to do::
7508
[/home/user/project]
7509
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
7510
push_location:policy = appendpath
7512
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
7513
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
7516
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
7517
for each file. For example::
7519
$ bzr status --short
7525
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
7526
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
7528
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
7530
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
7531
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
7533
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
7538
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
7539
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
7540
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
7541
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
7543
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
7544
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
7545
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
7547
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
7549
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
7550
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
7551
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
7552
(Alexander Belchenko)
7554
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
7557
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
7558
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
7560
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
7565
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
7566
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
7568
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
7569
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
7570
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
7571
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
7572
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
7574
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
7575
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
7577
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
7578
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
7580
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
7582
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
7584
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
7585
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
7586
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
7587
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
7588
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
7590
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
7591
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
7592
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
7593
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
7595
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
7596
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
7598
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
7599
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
7601
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
7602
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
7604
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

7620
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
7622
(Daniel Silverstone)
7624
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
7625
operations are substantially faster.
7626
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
7628
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
7629
tree from some other url. For example:
7630
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
7631
(Daniel Silverstone)
7633
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
7634
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
7635
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
7636
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
7638
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
7641
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
7642
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
7643
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
7644
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
7645
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
7646
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
7651
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
7652
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
7655
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
7656
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
7657
(John Arbash Meinel)
7659
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
7660
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
7661
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
7662
(John Arbash Meinel)
7664
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
7665
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
7667
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
7668
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
7670
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
7671
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
7677
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
7678
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
7679
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
7681
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
7682
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
7683
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
7684
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
7686
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
7688
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
7689
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
7691
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
7692
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
7693
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
7694
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
7696
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
7697
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
7698
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
7700
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
7701
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
7702
them as full references rather than integers.
7703
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
7705
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
7706
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
7708
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
7710
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
7711
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
7713
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
7714
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
7716
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
7717
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
7718
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
7719
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
7721
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
7722
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
7723
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
7725
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
7726
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
7728
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
7729
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
7730
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
7731
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
7732
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
7737
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
7738
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

#######################
7756
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
7757
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
7758
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
7759
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
7761
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
7762
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
7764
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
7766
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
7767
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
7768
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
7769
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
7771
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
7772
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
7773
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
7774
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
7775
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
7780
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
7781
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
7786
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
7787
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
7788
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
7790
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
7791
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
7792
(John Arbash Meinel)
7794
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
7795
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
7796
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
7798
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
7799
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
7802
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
7803
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
7804
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
7806
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
7807
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
7808
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
7809
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
7810
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
7811
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
7813
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
7814
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
7815
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
7818
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
7819
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
7824
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
7825
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
7826
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
7829
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
7830
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
7832
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
7833
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
7834
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
7836
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
7837
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
7839
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
7840
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
7841
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
7842
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
7844
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
7845
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
7847
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
7848
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
7849
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
7851
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
7852
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
7854
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
7856
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
7857
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
7863
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
7864
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
7865
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
7866
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
7868
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
7869
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
7870
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)

7894
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
7895
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
7896
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
7897
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
7898
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
7899
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
7900
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
7902
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
7903
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
7904
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
7906
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
7908
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
7909
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
7911
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
7912
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
7913
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
7916
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
7917
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
7918
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
7919
(John Arbash Meinel)
7921
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
7922
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
7923
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
7924
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
7927
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
7928
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
7929
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
7930
(John Arbash Meinel)
7935
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
7936
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
7938
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
7940
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
7941
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
7942
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)

7953
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
7954
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
7956
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
7958
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
7959
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
7961
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
7962
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
7964
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
7965
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
7967
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
7968
(John Arbash Meinel)
7970
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
7971
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
7972
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
7974
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
7975
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
7977
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
7978
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
7979
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
7980
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
7982
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
7983
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
7984
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
7986
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
7987
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
7992
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
7997
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
7998
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
7999
(John Arbash Meinel)
8001
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
8002
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
8003
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
8004
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
8006
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
8009
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
8010
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
8011
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
8013
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
8014
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
8016
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
8017
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
8018
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
8020
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
8021
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
8022
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
8023
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
8024
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
8025
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
8026
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
8027
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
8028
caller to repeat their request.
8029
(John Arbash Meinel)
8031
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
8032
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
8034
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
8035
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
8037
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
8038
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
8039
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
8040
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
8041
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
8042
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
8043
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
8045
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
8046
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
8047
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
8048
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
8049
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
8050
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
8051
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
8052
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
8055
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
8056
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
8057
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
8059
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
8060
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
8062
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
8063
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
8065
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
8066
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
8071
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
8072
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
8074
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
8075
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
8076
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
8078
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
8079
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
8080
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
8083
####################
8087
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
8088
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
8090
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
8091
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
8092
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
8093
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
8094
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
8096
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
8097
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
8098
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
8100
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
8101
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
8103
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
8104
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
8105
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
8110
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
8112
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
8113
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
8114
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
8116
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
8118
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
8120
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
8121
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
8122
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
8123
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
8125
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
8126
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
8127
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
8128
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
8129
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
8131
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
8132
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
8134
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
8135
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
8137
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
8138
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
8140
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
8141
in handling of revision properties.
8142
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
8144
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
8145
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
8150
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
8151
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
8152
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
8153
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
8154
(John Arbash Meinel)
8156
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
8157
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
8158
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
8160
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11

#####################
8166
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
8167
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
8168
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
8169
specific one '.bzrignore'.
8170
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
8171
a more conservative list than the old default.
8172
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
8173
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
8174
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
8175
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
8177
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
8178
to more locations than just branch locations.
8184
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
8185
revno:N:branch. For example,
8186
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
8187
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
8189
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
8190
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
8191
the path of a file that has been versioned.
8192
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
8193
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
8194
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
8195
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
8196
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
8199
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
8200
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
8201
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
8204
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
8205
(Alexander Belchenko)
8207
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
8209
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
8212
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
8213
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
8214
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
8215
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
8216
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
8217
(John Arbash Meinel)
8219
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
8220
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
8221
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
8222
grained analysis of performance.
8223
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
8225
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
8226
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
8228
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
8229
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
8230
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
8231
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
8232
file. (Robert Collins).
8234
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
8235
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
8236
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
8238
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
8239
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
8242
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
8243
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
8245
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
8246
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
8247
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
8248
the same way you would apply another branch.
8249
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
8251
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
8252
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
8254
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
8257
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
8260
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
8261
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
8262
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
8264
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
8265
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
8266
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
8268
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
8269
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
8271
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
8272
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
8273
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
8274
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
8275
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
8277
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
8278
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
8280
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
8281
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
8282
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
8283
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
8284
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
8285
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
8286
branch is as much as 4x faster.
8287
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
8289
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
8290
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
8291
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
8296
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
8298
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
8300
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
8301
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
8303
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
8304
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
8306
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
8307
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
8309
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
8311
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
8312
(John Arbash Meinel)
8314
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
8315
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
8317
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
8318
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
8321
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
8322
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
8324
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
8325
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
8327
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
8328
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
8329
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
8330
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
8332
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
8333
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
8335
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
8337
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
8338
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
8340
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
8342
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
8344
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
8345
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
8347
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
8348
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
8350
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
8351
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
8352
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
8354
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
8355
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
8356
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
8358
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
8359
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
8361
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
8362
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
8364
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
8365
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
8367
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
8368
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
8370
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
8371
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
8373
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
8374
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
8375
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
8377
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
8379
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
8380
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
8385
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
8386
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
8387
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
8389
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
8390
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
8392
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
8393
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
8394
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
8396
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
8397
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
8399
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
8400
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
8403
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
8404
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
8405
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
8407
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
8408
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
8409
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
8411
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
8412
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
8413
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
8415
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
8416
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
8417
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
8419
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
8420
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
8421
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
8423
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
8424
instead. (Robert Collins)
8426
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

8493
Notes When Upgrading
8494
********************
8496
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
8497
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
8498
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
8499
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
8500
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
8501
will keep the same format.
8503
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
8504
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
8505
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
8506
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
8507
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
8509
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
8510
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
8511
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
8512
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
8513
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
8514
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
8515
indicating the current revision of the branch.
8517
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
8518
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
8519
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
8520
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
8521
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
8523
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
8524
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
8525
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
8532
* sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
8533
convention. Paths now take the form::
8535
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
8537
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
8539
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
8540
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
8542
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
8543
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
8544
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
8546
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
8547
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
8548
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
8549
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
8551
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
8552
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
8553
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
8555
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
8557
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
8559
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
8560
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
8563
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
8564
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
8567
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
8569
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
8570
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
8571
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
8574
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
8576
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
8578
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
8581
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
8582
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
8584
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
8585
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
8588
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
8589
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
8592
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
8594
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
8596
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
8597
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
8599
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
8600
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
8601
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
8602
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
8603
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
8604
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
8606
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
8608
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
8609
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
8612
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
8613
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
8615
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
8616
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
8618
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
8620
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
8621
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
8622
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
8623
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
8624
specification by Martin Pool.
8625
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
8627
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
8630
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
8631
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
8633
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
8634
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
8635
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
8637
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
8639
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
8640
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
8646
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
8647
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
8649
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
8651
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
8653
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
8656
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
8657
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
8658
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
8659
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
8664
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
8665
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
8666
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
8667
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
8669
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
8670
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
8671
tried. (Martin Pool)
8673
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
8676
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
8678
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
8679
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
8680
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
8682
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
8683
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
8685
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
8686
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
8687
paths. (Robert Collins)
8689
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
8690
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
8691
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
8693
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
8694
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
8695
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
8697
* Progress bars are now nested - see
8698
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
8699
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
8701
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
8704
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
8707
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
8709
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
8711
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
8712
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
8713
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
8716
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
8717
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
8719
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
8720
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
8721
check. (Robert Collins)
8723
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
8724
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
8729
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
8730
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
8732
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
8733
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
8734
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
8735
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
8737
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
8738
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
8739
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
8740
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
8741
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
8743
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
8744
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
8745
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
8747
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
8749
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
8750
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
8758
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
8759
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
8761
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
8762
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
8763
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
8766
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
8767
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
8769
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
8770
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
8771
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
8772
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
8773
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
8775
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
8776
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
8777
used. (Robert Collins)
8779
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
8780
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
8783
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
8784
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
8785
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
8787
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
8790
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
8791
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
8796
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
8797
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
8799
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
8801
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
8803
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
8804
tree. (Robert Collins)
8806
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
8807
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
8808
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
8811
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
8814
* Tweaks to short log printing
8816
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
8819
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
8820
occurs. (Martin Pool)
8822
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
8823
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
8825
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
8826
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
8828
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
8829
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
8830
settings. (Magnus Therning)
8832
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
8833
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
8835
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
8836
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
8839
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
8840
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
8842
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
8843
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
8845
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
8846
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
8848
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
8851
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
8852
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
8854
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
8855
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
8857
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
8858
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
8859
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
8864
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
8866
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
8868
* Error when run with -OO
8870
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
8873
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
8875
* Change status to 3 for all errors
8877
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
8878
ignored by diff and status
8880
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
8881
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
8883
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
8885
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
8887
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
8888
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
8890
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
8891
email address. (Marien Zwart)
8893
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
8896
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
8897
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
8899
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
8901
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
8902
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
8904
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
8907
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
8908
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
8910
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
8915
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
8916
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
8918
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
8920
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
8922
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
8924
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
8925
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
8926
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
8928
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
8930
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
8931
(John Arbash Meinel)
8933
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
8935
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
8936
If adding a new test script please add that to
8937
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
8939
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
8940
imported. (Martin Pool)
8942
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
8943
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
8944
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
8945
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
8946
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
8949
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
8950
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
8951
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
8953
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
8954
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
8955
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
8957
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
8958
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
8959
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
8960
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
8961
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
8964
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
8965
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
8971
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
8972
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
8974
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
8975
function. (Robert Collins)
8977
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
8978
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
8979
if needed). (Robert Collins)
8981
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
8982
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
8985
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
8986
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
8987
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
8988
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
8989
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
8990
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
8991
version. (Robert Collins)
8993
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
8994
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
8996
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
8997
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
8998
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
8999
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
9000
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
9001
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
9003
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
9006
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
9016
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
9018
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
9020
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
9023
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
9024
query method. (Robert Collins)
9026
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
9029
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
9032
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
9035
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
9036
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
9037
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
9038
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
9040
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
9041
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
9042
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
9043
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
9045
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
9046
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
9054
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
9057
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
9061
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
9062
a separator, not ':'.
9065
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
9066
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
9067
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
9069
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
9070
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
9073
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
9074
has been added that suppresses all output.
9076
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
9079
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
9080
Goffredo Baroncelli.
9082
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
9083
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
9085
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
9086
a revision. (Robert Collins)
9088
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
9089
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
9090
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
9091
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
9093
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
9095
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
9096
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
9098
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
9099
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
9101
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
9102
output directory, if one was supplied.
9104
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
9105
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
9106
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
9107
parameters. (Robert Collins)
9109
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
9111
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
9112
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
9114
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
9115
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
9116
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
9118
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
9119
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
9121
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
9124
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
9126
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
9131
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
9132
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
9133
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
9135
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
9136
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
9137
related questions. (Robert Collins)
9139
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
9140
is given. (Martin Pool)
9142
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
9143
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
9144
file. (Robert Collins)
9146
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
9152
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
9153
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
9154
representation. (Martin Pool).
9156
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
9157
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
9158
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
9160
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
9163
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
9164
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
9167
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
9168
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
9169
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
9170
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
9171
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
9173
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
9174
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
9175
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
9176
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
9177
python path. (Robert Collins)
9179
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
9180
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
9181
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
9182
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
9184
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
9185
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
9187
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
9188
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
9191
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
9192
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
9193
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
9195
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
9196
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
9197
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
9199
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
9200
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
9202
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
9203
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
9204
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
9207
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
9208
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
9209
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
9210
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
9213
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
9216
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
9217
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
9220
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
9221
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
9222
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
9224
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
9225
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propagate as normal.
9226
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
9228
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
9229
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
9230
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
9232
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
9233
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
9235
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
9236
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
9237
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
9238
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
9239
caller. (Robert Collins)
9241
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
9242
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
9245
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
9246
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
9249
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
9251
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
9252
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
9257
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
9258
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
9260
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
9261
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

####################
9270
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
9271
allow directories to be listed.
9273
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
9274
upgrading branch format.
9279
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
9288
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
9289
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
9290
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
9291
high-latency connections.
9296
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
9299
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
9300
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
9302
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
9303
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
9304
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
9305
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
9307
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
9308
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
9310
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
9311
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
9313
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
9314
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
9315
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
9317
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
9318
for files with only a change to their executable status.
9319
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
9322
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
9323
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
9325
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
9326
different partial views of history.
9328
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
9329
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
9334
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
9335
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
9336
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
9338
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
9339
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
9342
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
9343
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
9345
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
9348
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
9349
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
9351
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
9352
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
9353
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
9354
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
9356
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
9358
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
9359
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
9362
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
9363
Contributed by Robert Collins.
9365
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
9366
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
9367
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
9373
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
9374
for your viewing pleasure.
9376
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
9377
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
9379
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
9380
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
9381
handling of such circumstances.
9383
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
9384
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
9385
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
9387
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
9389
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
9390
we call them revisions not patches.
9392
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
9393
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
9395
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
9396
giving the revision *of that file*.
9398
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
9399
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
9400
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
9405
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
9406
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
9408
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
9409
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``

* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
9425
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
9427
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
9428
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
9433
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
9434
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
9436
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
9437
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
9438
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
9439
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by

* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
9443
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.

9451
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)

####################
9460
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
9461
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
9462
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
9463
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
9466
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
9469
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
9470
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
9471
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
9472
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
9473
for the operating system is still tried.
9475
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
9476
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
9477
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
9483
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
9488
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
9490
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
9493
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be

####################
9511
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
9512
help with intelligent shell completion.
9514
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
9520
* Much better merge support.
9522
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
9523
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
9530
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
9531
mention revisions that are not present.
9533
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
9535
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
9537
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
9538
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
9544
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
9546
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
9547
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle

9555
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by

####################
9566
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
9567
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
9569
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
9571
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
9572
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
9574
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
9577
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
9579
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
9582
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
9583
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
9585
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
9586
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
9587
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
9593
* Faster working tree operations.
9599
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
9600
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
9601
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
9602
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
9604
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
9605
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
9606
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
9607
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
9608
standard plugins directory.
9610
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
9611
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
9612
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
9613
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
9615
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
9616
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
9618
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
9621
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
9622
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
9623
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
9625
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
9626
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
9628
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
9629
line options must come before the command name because they
9630
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
9631
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
9634
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
9636
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
9637
is available with ``--short``.

* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.

#####################
9652
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
9653
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
9655
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
9656
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
9657
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
9658
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
9660
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
9661
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
9662
with the ``--forward`` option.
9664
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
9665
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
9672
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
9673
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
9675
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
9677
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
9678
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
9680
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
9682
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
9683
either read or write mode.
9685
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
9687
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
9690
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
9692
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
9693
suggested by LarstiQ.
9695
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
9696
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
9698
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
9701
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
9702
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
9704
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
9705
haven't changed since the previous time.
9707
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
9708
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
9710
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
9712
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
9714
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
9715
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
9717
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
9718
options through to an external GNU diff.
9720
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not

9731
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
9733
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
9740
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
9741
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to

* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
9745
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
9747
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
9748
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
9750
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
9751
under a different version.
9753
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
9759
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
9761
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
9762
Scott James Remnant.
9764
* Better help messages for many commands.
9766
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
9767
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
9769
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden

command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
9772
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
